This is a silly debate, in my opinion.
There are two separate but connected issues in play. One is that the current coach has failed by every objective, nay, charitable measure and he needs to be removed. The second issue is who will replace him.
Issue one (plus the timing of his removal): I don't understand any of the arguments that posit waiting is better, especially when the conclusion has already been drawn. The entire country witnessed a team lay down on its coach Saturday night. We’re coming off a 4-8 season that included a loss to a IAA school and we are very lucky right now not to be 1-5. Very lucky. It is better for everyone for it to happen now - especially Muschamp himself and our players (and recruits and fan base). The game results for the remainder of the season matter little anymore. Lift the cloud now. Today. Hand the reigns to Roper or Lawning or Leak or Billy D or Billy Carter or Bill the Cat or whomever and focus on the future. There is no benefit to keeping a dead man walking, um, walking. I've said it before in other posts and I'll say it again now. Look at the benefit firing Kiffy mid-season brought USCw last year. That could be us. They finished with a respectable record and a decent recruiting class. There is (or was) talent on this roster. How is it in any way better to keep CWM through EOY? So he can tell us "it's on him" and "we'll get it fixed" a few more dozen times? What is the benefit??
We've entered an era in our country where we have to make even the simplest things complex, where even the blackest or whitest of issues has to have "shades of gray" and "context". Stop trying to find the context. Muschamp has failed by every measure and needs to go. Now.
The second issue is his replacement - a whole 'nother issue.
