According to multiple reports, this will take effect immediately, and Alex Marvez of Fox Sports reports assistant Shawn Elliott will be named the interim.
The Gamecocks have a dismal record of 2-4 thus far in 2015, and the program suffered a significant letdown last year, finishing at 7-6. It’s a far cry from the three preceding 11-win seasons, and there is no doubt things are looking bleak the rest of the way this year.
Spurrier coached for 26 years, posting a career record of 228-89-2 at South Carolina, Florida and Duke, going 11-10 in major bowls.
