South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier had decided to retire, ending his storied career at the age of 70, according to Thayer Evans of Sports Illustrated. Spurrier reportedly told the team of his plans Monday evening, informing them that an interim coach will be announced Tuesday, according to Josh Kendall of The State.
Spurrier's Gamecocks fell 45-24 to LSU on Saturday, moving South Carolina to 2-4 (0-4 SEC) on the season.
In July, Spurrier held an impromptu press conference to address growing speculation that he would be ending his coaching career sooner than later.
