SOURCES: While not yet public, Will Muschamp has been fired *UPDATED*

[Gator Fever]

ESPN keeps mentioning a Football Power Index. That index gives us a 20% chance of winning the East. UGA was 51% I think, which leaves 29% for Mizzou. Next week will be a huge week. Mizzou travels to UT (which is a must lose for our chances), UGA plays Auburn, and we have USCe at home.

They are @ A&M next week and then @ Tenn

Unique visitors to Gatorchatter on the weekend of the last 5 games:

Alabama: 1,323
Tennessee: 1,342
LSU: 1,552
Missouri: 1,772
Georgia: 1,265

A 29% drop from Missouri to Georgia, and UGA is of course always considered one of our biggest games of the season. It's like this everywhere. I expect us to be even lower this week, possibly significantly lower.

Maybe he is recalling whatever downside there was to firing Zook, then letting him coach out the season. This time fired, but no announcement. That is all I can think of...

When we get to the point of 0% possible chance of making the SECCG, Foley will make it public. I think after next weekend it should be clear, just be patient.

 

[Gator Fever]

I don't think he is fired already but how would it be clear after next weekend if we win the next 2 - Mizzou doesn't play Tenn for 2 weeks. I guess Georgia winning over Auburn would finish us off however.

There should be no path that leads to retaining Muschamp.

This.

Watching Baylor - Oklahoma...still digging Art Briles...he could do wonders here.

He would kill it

D*mn I just wrote a comprehensive, thoughtful, coherent piece about my current emotional state re Gator Football. Then I accidentally deleted it. :( So I'm just gonna sum it up in two words:

FIRE MUSCHAMP!

Foley is delaying the inevitable. With a good HC we would
be in the hunt for the NC right about now.

He's like the frog who jumps up one and slides back two.
Our average total offense is averaging 104th for four
long years now.

What other evidence do you need?

Damn. We're all shocked and saddened that we don't get to read it.

So a new HC would have taken over a team with 3 losses midseason and gotten them in the hunt for the NC? We'd be the first team in the history of the universe to be in the NC hunt with 3 losses. Unless we're talking a claimed championship, Alabama style.

You asked, I answered. Sure he has a bunch of people he can confide in. He's made 2 picks independently, and they have both been tremendous busts. He loves to gamble, he needs people who will pull him back from the brink.

You can bet he still thinks WM is the man. I hope they have already signed a
contractual termination agreement.

I do appreciate our victory over UGA and could never pull against the gators.
This is a situation that could go on for a long time. Once you lose the ability
to recruit the best, it is hard to get it back. We are definitely losing that
ability.

No one said midseason. He should have been fired on the spot after Vandy or Ga Southern.

4 more years!

4 more years!

4 more years! 4 more years! Dad-gum this Muschamp ball is exciting.

 

[Gator Fever]

Probably up to 90% chance plus Muschamp remains now with a SC win since Harris is passing the ball and we are scoring some in the past few games. I don't agree with it but that is probably the true reality with Foley now.
