Imagine two of the greatest legends in the history of Florida football, Steve Spurrier and Tim Tebow, united together on the football field. Apparently, that’s not too far-fetched. The newest football league, the Alliance of American Football, will kickoff its inaugural season in January of 2019. The head coach of the Orlando team will be Steve Spurrier. Should he choose to do so, Tebow would be the quarterback for Spurrier’s offense.

On Friday afternoon, Spurrier joined The Paul Finebaum Show and discussed the possibility of Tebow playing in the fledgling league. At first, Spurrier just quickly touched on the chance that Tebow could take the football field in the AAF.

“Of course Tim Tebow, if he keeps playing baseball, he’s not going to be available. If something happens and he wants to play in January, February, March, and April next year, certainly he’ll be a guy we’d love to have,” Spurrier told Finebaum.

After that, Finebaum pressed Spurrier for more details. The Head Ball Coach admitted that he’d reached out to Tebow prior to accepting the job in Orlando. As much as Spurrier would like to have Tebow on his roster, he would like to see him continue his pursuit of a career in the MLB.

“I actually got in touch with Tim before I took the job. I sent him a text and said, ‘By the way, I’m going to be coaching an Orlando team in this new Alliance of American Football League in January and February of 2019.’ He basically said, “Hey coach, I’m just going to keep swinging the bat and see what happens.’ I agree. That’s what he should do,” Spurrier explained. “If he can get to the big leagues, that’s what he should do. If for some reason it doesn’t work out, I told him we have a No. 15 jersey down there in Orlando waiting for him.”

The duo of Spurrier and Tebow would feel like a video game creation made by a Florida fan. As a coach, Spurrier led the Gators to a 122-27-1 record over the course of 12 seasons. In 1996, he led Florida to a national championship over in-state rival Florida State. In four seasons as Gator, Tebow threw for 9,285 yards and rushed for 2,947 more while finding the end zone a total of 145 touchdowns. Both he and Spurrier won a Heisman Trophy at Florida — Tebow in 2007 and Spurrier in 1966.

The only thing standing in the way of Tebow and Spurrier uniting is Tebow’s baseball career. Currently, he’s holding his own with the Mets’ double-A club in Binghamton. In 2018, Tebow is batting .245 with four home runs and 23 RBIs as a Rumble Pony. He’ll have to walk away from the baseball diamond for there to be a Gator reunion in Orlando.
