Steve Spurrier’s son continues working way up the coaching ranks

The son of an SEC coaching legend is taking the next step in his coaching journey, even though his new destination could hardly be more distant from the conference where his father attained football fame.

Steve Spurrier Jr. is leaving Western Kentucky to assume a role as receivers coach at Washington State, as reported by Brad Stephens of the Bowling Green (Ky.) Daily News.

For the son of former Heisman Trophy winner and College Football Hall of Fame coach Steve Spurrier, who built his alma mater Florida into a 1990s powerhouse and later enjoyed success in charge of South Carolina, it’s a major step as he continues building his coaching career.
