[QUOTE="Wrecked, post: 273229, member: 2567"] First this is a great thread as I count myself a huge Pepper fan since he was the coach during my childhood. I loved the wishbone and I think I still have a Bucky Shamburger tearaway somewhere. Pepper was done wrong by Dodd as it was pointed out he didn't get the facilities he was promised. Pepper won a conference title at Kansas and went 9-2 in his last season at UCLA so he could coach and recruit. With facilities I think he would have gone step for step with Dooley for state supremacy. Also, look at the schedule he played. ND, UGA , Auburn, Duke and Tulane were annual opponents usually mixed in with Clemson, Tennessee, Florida and South Carolina. Truly great schedules. A couple of things I think some posters are overlooking. Doug Weaver was the AD who fired Pepper (ironic as he was once Pepper's assistant at Kansas). Weaver left for Michigan State and that is when Homer arrived in 1980, however I believe Weaver hired Curry. Spurrier was an assistant on Pepper's last team and then went to Duke to be OC. He could have been hired. Actually we could have hired him twice since when Curry left after 1986 season we could have hired him from the Tampa Bay Bandits, but I have no problems with how the Ross hire turned out. [/QUOTE]
