Famous Spurs name takes over as interim South Carolina football coach

One of the most esteemed names in Spurs history will be taking over as the interim coach of the South Carolina football program.

But it’s not the Spurs icon who shares his name and will be taking over the job.

Shawn Elliott was named Tuesday to replace Steve Spurrier as interim coach for the Gamecocks.

But it’s not the Sean Elliott familiar to Spurs fans as one of the most popular players in the history of the franchise for his Memorial Day Miracle or as serving as starting small forward on the Spurs’ first NBA championship team in 1999 during his 12-season NBA career.
