I’m sorry, but as of my current knowledge, there is no information confirming that Steve Spurrier, the former head coach of South Carolina, has passed away at the age of 80. Steve Spurrier, born on April 20, 1945, is a renowned figure in college football. He gained fame as a quarterback at the University of Florida, where he won the Heisman Trophy in 1966. Spurrier later became a successful coach, leading the Florida Gators to a national championship in 1996 and coaching the South Carolina Gamecocks from 2005 to 2015, achieving multiple 10-win seasons and a first-ever SEC East division title for the program. He retired as the winningest coach in both Florida and South Carolina history. In 2017, he was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as a coach, joining an exclusive group of individuals honored both as players and coaches.
