Spurrier on player's marijuana use: 'Three pots and you're finished'

The legend that is Steve Spurrier seems to grow day by day as the 70-year-old head coach of South Carolina never seems to sugarcoat any topic, choosing rather to speak openly and freely about every subject thrown his way. 

During a guest spot Tuesday on the radio show Mike & Mike, Spurrier was asked about his comments on domestic violence during SEC Media Days. Spurrier followed up the question by reiterating his statements made in Hoover, Ala.

"I have had that rule I think every year I've been at South Carolina, so 10 years, and we have lost two players," said Spurrier. "I tell the team when they first arrive on campus, all the freshman know right now, if you ever hit a girl, punch a girl, whatever, you're finished. You can go somewhere else, transfer somewhere else, but you're not going to be on our team. That's just a rule I have, a personal rule. Some other coaches don't have it. They think they'll give a guy a second chance, but we don't have second chances for that."

Spurrier then dropped this amazing line that is sure to remind everyone of advice their grandfather may have left them. 

"You can smoke pot and get lectured on it -- three pots and you're finished -- and we have our rules for all our other things," Spurrier continued. "We haven't had anything happen [with domestic violence] in about eight years now, so I think it's a good rule and if you enforce it it's really helpful."

Three pots and you're finished. Amazing. 

Let's hope Spurrier continues to coach as long as he wants, you never know what line he may drop next.
