Less than a year after retiring from coaching Steve Spurrier is returning to school.
The former National Championship winning coach and Heisman winner has been named an Ambassador and Consultant for the Florida Gators athletic program.
“It’s a great day for the Gator Nation to be able to welcome Coach Spurrier back home,” Athletic Director Jeremy Foley said in a release. “He has served as a tremendous ambassador to the University and the athletic department for 50-plus years and it’s only fitting that at this point in his career, he is back in Gainesville. Being a Gator has always meant so much to Coach Spurrier, but it means just as much to us have him come home.
