Quarterbacks coach G.A. Mangus remains on an indefinite suspension following his arrest Tuesday morning for urinating in public in Greenville. Spurrier said he does expect the 42-year-old, in his third year on staff, to return. He hinted it could even happen by the time camp opens Wednesday. "I think G.A. is very remorseful," Spurrier said. "He knows that if he has one more incident such as this, his coaching career could be over." Spurrier also said quarterback Stephen Garcia's full reinstatement could come Monday. The fifth-year senior was suspended in April for an alcohol-induced outburst at a life skills seminar. Since then, Garcia has complied with a list of requirements from Spurrier and the university. He was partially reinstated in June so that he could work out with his teammates. "Stephen Garcia has changed his lifestyle almost completely," Spurrier said. "He's been on time, no goofing around. He's being very serious. He's showing a commitment we've never seen before. "Now, hopefully that will continue. I expect it to continue." Spurrier said the difference for Garcia in his final year will be whether he has a handle on the mental part of the game.
"He just needs to get his focus really, really sharp," Spurrier said. "If he does that, I really believe he can have an outstanding year -- and I mean outstanding."
