South Carolina Head Coach Steve Spurrier has become synonymous with the visor, in all its forms. Wearing it, throwing it, pulling at it, stomping on it; Steve Spurrier is the visor.

And in hour-long interview on Golf Channel’s “Feherty”, Spurrier explained how it all came to be.

It started while he was the head coach at the University of Florida. He wore a hat at times during his spell at Duke, but when he got to Florida, he said the weather was so “hot and sticky” that he embraced the visor.
