The Spurrier Effect Book Launch with Brent Silvia and Kevin Miller (Columbia, SC)
Join us for a book launch and author signing with Brent Silvia and Kevin Miller for their new book, The Spurrier Effect: How One Coach Transformed Gamecock Football.
When he took over a program labeled as "underachieving," Steve Spurrier set out to change the culture of a team and the expectations of Gamecock fans everywhere. What resulted was the most successful era in South Carolina football history.
The vivid storytelling of Brent Silvia and Kevin Miller in The Spurrier Effect allows readers to relive historic seasons, including three straight, eleven-win campaigns, signature victories over rival schools, and the development of future NFL stars, such as Jadeveon Clowney, Alshon Jeffery, and Stephon Gilmore. Exclusive interviews with players and the Head Ball Coach himself place readers on the sideline during some of the biggest games.
Beyond the wins, Silvia and Miller reveal the man behind the visor—his partnership with his wife, Jerri, his relationships with his players, and his fierce competitiveness, sharp wit, and unwavering belief in South Carolina's ability to achieve greatness.
Brent Silvia is a teacher and coach at Blythewood High School and author of Section 2 Row 1 Seats 9 and 10.
Kevin Miller is a staff writer for GamecockCentral covering South Carolina athletics.
