Steve Spurrier, the former college and pro quarterback, has resigned as offensive coordinator at Duke. ''I can't say I'm gone forever,'' he said, ''but I won't be here next season.'' Where will he be? Probably with the Tampa Bay Bandits of the United States Football League, who are expected to appoint the 37-year-old Spurrier as head coach on Monday.

The Cincinnati Bengals have won a court order enjoining Jack Thompson, their backup quarterback, from signing a contract with the rival United States Football League. Thompson, who has two years left on his contract, has not reported to the Bengals' latest camp.
