Steve Spurrier on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1966

goo.gl/A6I5L - During the 1966 College Football All-American Team segment on The Ed Sullivan Show, the camera mistakenly cuts to Syracuse running back Floyd Little as Ed announces University of Florida quarterback Steve Spurrier. Later in the show, to make up for the gaffe, Spurrier is invited back out on stage to take a bow.

"Steve Spurrier, University of Miami"

[@mikeyzx2]

The ol' ball coach, exact same facial expressions ha!

[@johantrenier1685]

Bob Griese still pissed he lost to Spurrier for the Heismann. Agreed.

[@rhettruggerio148]

Griese looks so serious!

[@Junior_Rocky]

They should have brought back Floyd Little as well.

[@thescatman5029]

I guess, no publication in the South, or most other places, was voting Floyd Little, for the Heisman. As a result, ladies and gentlemen....."the old ball coach!"

[@bishlap]

and that Ladies & Gentleman is the LAST time Steve Spurrier smiled.

[@jamesthomas7405]

Steve Spurrier looks like a high school sophomore 😳👀

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

Sorry Ed, that would be the university of Florida, not university of miami.

[@ftsjr]

Spurrier won the Heisman Trophy in 1966.

[@6400az]

Little, Spurrier.....University of Miami. Sullivan batted 1000 that night.

[@urbanleftbehind]

The mere possibility of an SEC school having a blk quarterback had the CBS hotlines melting later that night.

[@elton1111]

I'm so glad the Dolphins took Griese instead of Spurrier. Thank you 49ers for picking Spurrier first.

[@lightingbolt8148]

Spurrier could’ve thrown 5 x a game and won like Griese did for Dolphins

[@sjenkins8468]

He sat for years behind QB John Brodie in SF before being traded to Tampa Bay, so what’s your point?

[@davidbeiler7520]

@@sjenkins8468 Three years earlier SF had used the 15th draft pick to land George Mira (who really was from U. of Miami) as a replacement for Brodie, but seemed to only use him against Green Bay (when Brodie would usually turn up ill). Mira was still there when Spurrier was added, making the Heisman Trophy winner a third-stringer.

[@generationll]

More importantly was Purdue's Bob Griese who is in Hall of Fame and was on the 1971,72,73 Miami Dolphins teams

[@shawnjenkins7469]

… unless you’re the only person who was a Heisman winner who also coached a national championship winner. That would be Spurrier.

[@Hoching03]

Damn, I liked Steve Spurrier better when he was black!

[@appalachiafishingclub]

Hoching03 that's too funny!

[@doodooclowney1518]

Poor Spurrier got rejected as he went in for the handshake at 0:41

[@tyrone121285]

Crap Spurrier looks exactly the same today as he did in 66. Man Griese looks like a hardass.

[@tmo4330]

2 screw ups. Wrong face when Steve was announced. Ed says "university of miami" referring to Spurrier later that night!

[@KingofAmerica97]

Did you know there's also a Miami University in the state of Ohio?

[@jamesmonteverde5538]

@@KingofAmerica97 Yes, commonly known as Miami of Ohio.

[@catholicpriest1]

@gbranton If it wasn't for Ed we wouldn't have all these great videos!!!

[@1010Huey]

The ol' ball coach!! And look at Griese, he looks like he wants to throttle old Ed.

[@jemeeladams1676]

1010Huey griese has honestly hated that man forever its funny and amazing

[@kwalmer]

And then he says "the University of Miami didn't get on".

[@tonydq]

@robertmastroianni Actually, torymorton was referring to Ed's error when he said "the University of Miami didn't get on" @ 0:36

[@RyanWarren7901]

whatever, Ed Sullivan... how many friends do you have now?

[@andrewnance2156]

Don't reckon ole Eddie was a big fan of southern schools

[@Joebeimon]

Bottom Line? Go Gators!!!

[@lightingbolt8148]

Funny with them in full uniform and all, that would look weird I think they were introduced by one of the Late Night Hosts in Full Uniform.

[@nicholasperusina6849]

University of Miami?????????

[@davidwinter6148]

I know. Miami eh....?

[@tvgator1]

@tyrone121285 That's cuz he was SO CHAFFED that Spurrier ripped off the Heisman Trophy from him that year. He hates Spurrier to this day....

[@jemeeladams1676]

tvgator1 he does he can't stand spurrier

[@robertmastroianni]

@torymorton That was actually Floyd Little of Syracuse

[@1876alamo]

Good lord how many handshakes do you think the man has to give, More than you or I.

[@34236Gator]

Go Gators!

[@robertolsen6720]

Obviously, Ed was a big Gator fan...shesh!

[@quentindehaan3010]

Wow. That really sucked for Ole Steve.

[@carseye1219]

At that time, the University of Florida was still TWO YEARS away from signing its FIRST black player.

[@Surftiva]

Ed went from a blue tie to a black? :D

[@TheOusooner56]

Thats just nice...Ed Sullivan Show screw up times 2

[@6400az]

@jusprazem
He really did !

[@hoosierlooker]

Well Ed, it was just peetch and catch....and in another 40 years I'll be known as the old ball coach....and Danny Wueffel was hit 15 times after the whistle blew

[@c.s.jackson7214]

By a football player who is now a newspaper writer and best selling author, Ace Atkins.

[@Gelco30]

SOS was NOT the "old ball coach" he is THBC, The Head Ball Coach.

[@SuperHoldenC]

OH SHIT

[@joeguajardo5092]

University of Miami 😂 Florida

[@MrRETEROROB]

[@nerfherderthree]

One Butt Fumble after another here. LOL!

[@southrules]

Hilarious

[@udubdave]

Wow athletes back then were so skinny.

[@RayHellwig]

Go GATORS!

[@pcgreer]

@tyrone121285 Griese had to play for Purdue... I wouldn't be happy either...lol

[@gbranton]

Ed was drunk.

[@ffletch5277]

Look at Bob Greise trying to look tough... lol what a dork! He lost the Heisman that year to spurrier and still hasn’t gotten over it..

[@jacksmurr585]

You’re a dork.
