Steve Spurrier is a non-nonsense kinda guy.

He rarely has issues speaking his mind and he’s admired because of it.

Perhaps, he also should be admired for some of the rules he’s implemented.

While appearing on ESPN Radio’s Mike and Mike on Tuesday, Spurrier was asked to talk about domestic violence and he was his normal, candid self.

"I have had that rule I think every year I've been at South Carolina, so 10 years, and we have lost two players," Spurrier said. "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."

And then, unprompted, Spurrier decided to drop this nugget about drug use:

"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," he said. "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."

So “three pots” is like three strikes, right?

Sadly, Spurrier didn’t offer his stance on other recreational drugs and whether they also fell under the “three” rule.

Obviously, both domestic violence and drug use are hot topics in college football, the former maybe hotter than the latter since it’s been in the news so much. Perhaps Spurrier is on to something with his no-nonsense domestic abuse policy. After all, as he notes, it’s been awhile since a South Carolina player has made headlines for that.
