Muschamp fires 17 year equipment manager at SC Just like the 17 year chaplain

When Holtz got the South Carolina job, Matlock followed. When Holtz left Columbia, Matlock stayed.

In fact, Matlock stayed on the job through the 11-year Steve Spurrier reign, and then through the beginning stages of the Will Muschamp era. Until Friday. Muschamp announced yesterday he has dismissed Matlock and the entire equipment staff.
“I don’t have any comment,” Muschamp told The State.

Matlock is joined on the unemployment line by another longtime off-the-field staffer in team chaplain Adrian Despres.

A new head coach has, or at least should have, complete autonomy over the staff that works under him. He’s the man that’s got to right the ship, so it’s up to him to get the men he wants working the oars. But usually the ceremonial changing of the guards extends to assistant coaches and the strength coach, not the equipment staff and team chaplain.
But, hey, if it takes a new equipment guy and a new chaplain to catch up to Clemson then that’s what it takes."

WM was rumored to have said "that guy couldn't carry my jock".

Meanwhile, at Cockytalk:

1. Something is beginning to smell

2. Word is people are not happy

3. Cocky better watch his ass.

4. 1st he fires the Chaplain, now the Equip Mgr. Wow!!! Boom is sure a Big S.O.B.

They're starting to get it.

On Cockytalk, they are saying that even though Chump fired him, the AD stepped in and is putting him in another position in the athletic department. That makes Chump look bad if true.

Yep this being the 2nd one he has done this to makes it appear Muschamp is pretty petty. What will he do next fire Marcus Lattimore after Spurrier gave him a job.

Right on.....and it doesn't take much to make him look bad at all.

Had to go. He refused to deflate the footballs.

I thought I heard somewhere that the NCAA stopped the hiring of Lattimore?

Never heard that. The last I read was Lattimore would be there still with Muschamp but that was just after Muschamp was hired.

Just looked it up.

I will be happy when the name "Muschamp" is forever erased from the memory of Gator football. Unfortunately, that is probably not going to happen soon.

It's obvious those 2 were responsible for South Carolina football never winning the SEC championship. So it makes sense to me?

Obviously Mushchump identified the problem with SC football and has righted the ship. Clear sailing to the SEC East Championship ahead!

 

[GatorTAG]

This was the reason he was fired.

Plus, he forgot to wash Muschamp's jock strap and now he has jock itch.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Poor kid was already tired of fixing broken things in the locker room, I bet.

I can't believe they gave that numbnuts a 5 year contact. They are going to want out by November.

Didn't see that before but it makes sense they wouldn't allow it I guess.

The AD stepped in quickly on this. Makes you wonder WTF is going on over there.... Did Muschamp not consult w/ the AD before making a decision to fire someone? It's unbelievable how much of a POS he is. What's more amazing is there were people who thought he deserved more time at UF!

 

[playzwtrux]

now he has jock itch.

I thought he got that from sleeping with Foley . . . .

He can't officially join the staff until he is no longer a student, he is on pace to graduate in May.
