Book Signing: Steve Spurrier Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta 5342 Tilly Mill Road (Dunwoody), 7:30 PM Free MJCCA is pleased to present Steve Spurrier's Head Ball Coach: My life in Football, Doing it Differently – and Winning. College football’s colorful, endearing, and successful pioneer, Steve Spurrier, shares his story of a life in football—from growing up in Tennessee to winning the Heisman Trophy to playing and coaching in the pros to leading the Florida Gators to six SEC Championships and a National Championship to elevating the South Carolina program to new heights —and coaching like nobody else. He’s been called brash, cocky, arrogant, pompous, egotistical, and hilarious, but, mostly, he’s known as the Head Ball Coach. He is the only coach who can claim to be the winningest coach at two different SEC schools, and the only person who has won both the Heisman Trophy as a player and a national championship as a coach.
