Spurrier talks golf, football and family on Feherty’s show

The coach who currently is busy with his struggling, 1-2 team will be the guest on “Feherty,” Golf Channel’s eponymous talk show hosted by David Feherty.

Spurrier and Feherty, whose post-playing TV career has displayed his talents both as a commentator and freelance comic, recorded their show during the July 4th holiday at the coach’s vacation place in Crescent Beach, Fla.

The two men talked golf, football and even baseball, and shot footage at one of Spurrier’s regular courses.

This all took place long before USC’s losses to Kentucky and Georgia, and before Feherty, a staple of CBS’s golf coverage for 19 years, left the network to join NBC/Universal, which also owns Golf Channel.

Feherty said he looks for “interesting” subjects, and felt Spurrier fit the bill.

Feherty says he also enjoyed being with Spurrier during dinner out with the coach’s family.
