Peach Bowl

A former Heisman Trophy winner at the University of Florida, Spurrier’s coaching career spanned more than 30 years. His first collegiate head coaching position came with Duke in 1987. He was named the ACC Coach of the Year in both 1988 and 1989. His 1989 team won the ACC title, Duke’s first since 1962 and most recent to-date.
 
Spurrier returned to his alma mater in 1990 and went on to become the winningest coach in the history of Florida football, winning six SEC titles and the 1996 national championship. After leaving Florida in 2001 for the NFL, he returned to college and the SEC, taking the South Carolina job in 2005. He similarly brought the South Carolina program to unprecedented levels of success, leading the Gamecocks to three of the four 10-win seasons in program history, as well as the school's only 11-win season, top-10 poll finishes, and its only SEC Championship Game appearance. He coached the Gamecocks in the 2010 Chick-fil-A Bowl, one of his 21 bowl appearances as a collegiate head coach. Spurrier was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1986.
 
Spurrier retired as the winningest coach at both Florida and South Carolina, a feat only accomplished by one other SEC coach all-time, the esteemed Bear Bryant. Spurrier trails only Bryant in total SEC wins. In July 2016, Spurrier returned to the University of Florida as an ambassador and consultant to the athletic department. In September 2016, his name was added to the Gators' home field, changing its official name to Steve Spurrier-Florida Field at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.
