From the "you quit", "no I didn't" files.....
From AP:
The resignation came after two hours of confusion during which Spurrier told a newspaper he didn't quit -- after the team announced that he did. Spurrier was not aware that final details already were worked out between his agent and the team.
"We had a little miscommunication there," Spurrier told The Associated Press by telephone from Florida.
Spurrier planned to release a full statement later in the day.
He called owner Dan Snyder on Tuesday morning to offer his resignation, and Snyder accepted with "much regret," according to a statement released by the team. Spurrier then told Snyder to work out the final details with agent Jimmy Sexton.
With Sexton in Memphis, Snyder in Washington, and Spurrier on a golf course in Florida, the coach didn't know that all the issues had been resolved when he told The Washington Post, "I have not resigned." Minutes later, after hearing from his agent, Spurrier acknowledged he was quitting.
It's great when everyone is one the same page.
