What a shiiat show in the East today! Muschamp will be gone at the end of the year. For some perspective, remember this...he was out coached today by a 68 year old man who hasn’t coached in 6 years! He doesn’t (or at least he shouldn’t) have anybody fooled anymore as to his coaching abilities and I don’t believe buyout money is an issue for USC. I just don’t see how he can survive this fiasco. As far as Tennessee, I knew Pruitt would be a disaster. What I didn’t know is he would be so bad as to lose to a team that’s been playing football for less than a decade and only playing FBS level for 6 years prior to this season. He may not get a 3rd year if he keeps this up. What a frickin disaster!
I’m as demanding as the next Gator, but what we’re witnessing in Knoxville is exactly what’s wrong with the idea of “ok, let’s fire him and get someone better” mindset. They really can’t do anything for a while because of the spectacle they’ve become in recent years. Who would take that job with the toxicity it currently possesses? Ironically, the primary reason they canned Fuller was because he wasn’t going to beat Meyer at UF or Saban at Ala
As it turns out, he would’ve only dealt with Meyer two more times before we went south. And given his record against Richt, he probably wins the East at least a few times in the next 4-5 years. Instead, they lose focus, make a risky move, and are now 11 years into a rebuild, with the fanbase pretty much already ready to kill the latest version, and are 1-19 against those teams in the process.
I’m in no way advocating a long drawn out disaster. But even the notion of “next coach” when we’re currently at 11-3, puts us dangerously close to ut territory.
No business model ever prided itself on high turnover or an overly short leash. It doesn’t work.
