Spurrier creating All-Gator team?

By Kevin Basarab Sports Central Columnist

The Redskins have the coach, they have the receiver, and now they have the quarterback.

How many more former University of Florida players will the Redskins pick up under former Gator head coach Steve Spurrier? The answer to that questions remains to be seen, but the answer to who's already been picked up is easily answered.

The Redskins have recently signed former Gators wide receiver Chris Doering and former Gators quarterback Danny Wuerffel.

Doering has been in the NFL since 1996 beginning his career with the Jacksonville Jaguars. He later moved on to both Indianapolis and Denver.

Wuerffel has been all over the league as a second and third string quarterback only playing in seven NFL games. In NFL Europe, Wuerffel received MVP honors as he led his team to the NFL Europe championship.

Now the question remains to be seen how many more former Gator players Spurrier will sign.

Already in the draft is wide receiver Jabar Gaffney, Defensive end Alex Brown, and tackle Mike Pearson.

Spurrier must not let his Gator tendencies make the best of him in the NFL.

This is professional football now, not college. If Spurrier tries to use the same game plans he used at Florida he will not succeed as a coach.

He must realize that he will not be able to have 300+ yards of offense every single game. He also will not be scoring 40+ points every game, either.

I am worried Spurrier is letting his past coaching experience make the best of him and he will end up with a losing record because of it.

I, of course, could be wrong. Spurrier might surprise many others, and myself, as he reunites Gator alumni and make the all-pro Gators.

Do these players have what it takes for the NFL? Can Spurrier turn around Weurffel's career?

Many questions remain to be answered, and only time will tell.
