Spurrier Denies Resignation

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A41721-2003Dec30.html
The Washington Redskins announced the resignation of Coach Steve Spurrier today only to have Spurrier deny that he had resigned moments later.
"I have not resigned," Spurrier said by cellphone. "I've got a
representative looking into some issues but I have not resigned. If they say that I have, that is not true. I'm not sure it is heading in that direction right now. We are seeing where it goes but I have not resigned."
A team source said that Spurrier's new agent, Jimmy Sexton, told the Redskins to issue the news release.
In a news release issued early this afternoon, the Redskins said
Spurrier had telephoned owner Daniel Snyder and resigned "in the best interest of the Redskins franchise." In the release, Snyder said "I have accepted Steve's resignation with much regret but respect his decision."
The Redskins said in the release that they will begin their search for Spurrier's replacement immediately.
Team sources said Spurrier has informed his assistant coaches of the decision and that there had been no buyout of the remainder of his five-year, approximately $25 million contract. But Spurrier would be paid some money to cover his expenses, sources said.
Spurrier left the Washington area on Monday for his home in Florida.

Dear Steve
your not supposed to quit a job until you have a job.
Especially if you don't get the remainder of the 25 million.

Are you sure? Will cost you draft picks, players and/or compensation. Is he worthy of all that? What has the whiner done anyways other than look like he is ready to cry when things arent going his way?
Spurrier had three years remaining on his contract at a total of $15 million, but because he resigned he will get none of that money. It was reported earlier Tuesday that the Redskins will cover the former coach's moving expenses. Spurrier cannot coach in the league for the next three years because he'll remain under contract to Washington. However, he would be able to coach if a future NFL employer is willing to give the Redskins compensation, in the form of draft picks, cash, or both.
The part about "covering his moving expenses" kills me. They can't get him out of there fast enough, and a couple thousand dollars worth of "moving expenses" is well worth his ridance, lol.
SPURRIER------->:moon: :thefinger :flush:

Hopefully his wife is driving the U-Haul. If he's at the controls they'll no doubt end up in a ditch.
