Steve Spurrier was named to the College Football Hall of Fame as a player in 1986 and as a coach in 2017. Spurrier joined Amos Alonzo Stagg, Bobby Dodd and Bowden Wyatt as the only four to be inducted as a player and coach. As Florida’s head coach , Spurrier compiled a 122-27-1 record from 1990-2001, the most wins for a Gator coach in school history. The 1996 season saw the team capture its first-ever National Championship with a 52-20 win over Florida State in the Sugar Bowl. Spurrier led the Gators to six SEC titles (1991, 93-96, 2000) and was a three-time SEC Coach of the Year recipient. He became the first person to have both won a Heisman Trophy and to have coached a Heisman Trophy winner (Danny Wuerffel in 1996).
