Coach Steve Spurrier and the Washington Redskins worked out the final details of his resignation this afternoon — after a few hours of confusion in which Spurrier was unaware that he had quit his own job.
Spurrier’s resignation was worked out by agent Jimmy Sexton while the coach played golf, presumably in Florida. Spurrier, who had hired Sexton on Monday, was initially unable to reach the agent today because of cell phone troubles on the golf course. That led Spurrier to deny that he had quit after the team had announced his departure in a news release.
A rather embarrassing episode to end the old ball coach’s tenure in D.C. I had hopes that Spurrier might be able to turn things around for the Redskins. But by season’s end it was becoming painfully clear that things weren’t headed in the right direction.
The Post identifies Dennis Green, Tom Coughlin, and Jimmy Johnson as potential replacements.
My sister (a Redskins fan) is rather excited.
A divided NFC East family, huh? Very shortly sis will have the upperhand in the debate.
