South Carolina is in shambles; Bobo named newest OC

[soflagator]

Borrowed from another board: a timeline of South Carolina's 2019 debacle:

Opening game loss to UNC (after being an 8 point favorite), then...

1) South Carolina gets beat by 20 by Tennessee and people start to get on edge after the Georgia win high subsides

2) they beat a bad vandy team with a backup Qb

3) they lose to a solid app state team while putting up basically no yards

4) muschamp gives a statement that the offensive staff is not being shaken up at all

5) tanner puts out a vote of confidence for muschamp amid growing media scrutiny

6) an article comes out saying that a powerful BOT member is actively recruiting an ex Carolina player and current AD to become the next AD and is trying to get other BOT members on board

7) president Calsen has an interview saying the administration has talked to FSU about how they managed the their buyout.

8) president calsen backtracks on statement

9) media source reviews tapes and sticks to their story that calsen said what he said

The absolute best part of all of this is the fact that Muschamp, the ultimate arrogant jerk who insists he's the best thing to ever happen to college football, had to sit here last week and watch his own school initially release several statements regarding whether or not they can/should fire him--from a fiscal standpoint, not a performance based one. Now, his President that he assured everyone just yesterday was super supportive, along with the AD, is openly acknowledging again that they've called other schools to see how they got rid of their failed coaches.

So it's not being done in a discreet manner where there'll be some type of joint statement about it being best for both parties to step away from each other, hand shakes and compliments all around. It's all out in the open for the world to see. For the second time in just over 5 years, a school is actively looking at how they can rid themselves of him, at whatever expense needed, and to the extent of calling others to say, "hey, our coach sucks too, any tips?". Literally everyone knows how bad his own employer thinks he is and that even if he should return for another year, it will strictly be about finances rather than any thing they feel he can still accomplish. For someone with his ego, you now he's reading the local sports page and likely message boards and just grinding his teeth in derision. Assuming her eyes still work after all the plastic surgery, I can't imagine his wife can even look him in the eye as she preps for yet another move and comforts the kids as they deal with "your dad sucks" taunts at school. I don't even care about the money. He's not a Weis type who can disappear and take solace in the fact that he can now afford a small island in the Pacific. WM hates the notion of someone implying that he's not good, insisted that we were wrong for firing him here, and now has to face people every day for as long as he's still employed that have told everyone who'll listen that they made a major mistake in hiring him. The whole thing couldn't be better than the way it's happening.

Looks like Tanner, the bonehead who hired and protected him, will be gone too. I’m jealous - why couldn’t Muschamp take down Foley too? Would’ve saved us the Butters debacle.

It worked out for him. I am not sure but wasn't the the president, Machen, retiring and Faux coming in and didn't want to make a change.

But but but.... GOAT AD.

Also, Fooley should have been fired the second we received word he had pointed the jet toward New Orleans.

Gamecocks football staffer dismissed after allegedly fighting man dressed as Will Muschamp

Gamecocks football staffer dismissed after allegedly fighting man dressed as Will Muschamp


COLUMBIA — It’s been a frustrating football season at South Carolina. Nobody’s happy with the results on the field, and there have been plenty of discussions about the future of head coach Will Muschamp.

Some scream for him to be fired. Some defend him.

And one person no longer works for him after allegedly fighting with another man who was dressed as Muschamp for Halloween.

Aubrey C. Walker, a USC student manager on Muschamp’s staff, was let go from his position after being arrested on Halloween night. Columbia police records show he was charged with public disorderly conduct and taken to jail after physically fighting with another man in Columbia’s Five Points district.

Walker apparently took offense to the man’s Halloween costume, which depicted Muschamp holding a sizable check.

The costumed man’s name was not listed on the police report. But with the incident happening at a crosswalk in the middle of Harden Street on Halloween night, several people witnessed it.

Walker “appeared to be intoxicated” at the time, the police report says, and continued to be “loud and boisterous” when an officer attempted to stop the fight. He was taken to jail and released the next day on a $257.50 personal recognizance bond.

“I heard one of the cops say, ‘He said he works for USC football,’” one person who witnessed the incident said. “I thought, ‘Oh, that makes sense.’ He never said a word the entire time but he didn’t like that check.”

A USC spokesperson confirmed that Walker was removed from working as a student manager. Walker did not respond to a request for comment. His attorney, Columbia’s Neal Lourie, confirmed Walker was his client but declined further comment.

The Post and Courier obtained a photo of the costume. The man is dressed in Muschamp’s game-day attire, wearing all-black clothing with a headset and eyeglasses. He’s holding a giant check.

The check is in the amount of $18 million with “Buyout” written in the memo space (Muschamp’s buyout would be around $18.75 million if he were to be fired on Dec. 31). It is made out to “Will Muschamp” and signed by “Every Gamecock Fan.”

This is bordering on “Florida Man” territory.

This is a hilarious SEC football story that will live in infamy. Not quite to the level of Harvey Updyke, but somewhere along the lines of Petrino wrecking his bike with his grad assistant girlfriend on the back. I love it!

The most bizarre part of the story is that someone out there actually defended muschump... that’s ridiculous

 

[rogdochar]

A Halloweener subsumed Muschamp and taking that full form, Muschampy got beat.

 

[BMF]

This doesn't include the upcoming loss to Clemson:

11-13, 7-9 SEC Last Two Years (6-9 last 15 games)
* 4 wins vs. Akron, Charleston Southern, Chattanooga, Coastal Carolina
* 1 loss vs. Appalachian State
* 7 losses 20+ points
* 2-0 vs. Vanderbilt
* 1-1 vs. Georgia, Kentucky, Missouri, Tennessee
* 0-2 vs. Florida, Texas A&M
* 0-3 vs. ACC (Clemson, North Carolina, Virginia)
* Average Score vs. Power 5 Teams (19 games): USC 23.3-30.1 OPP

Always felt the same. If Foley had hired chump, then followed it up with butters, there isn't a single major football program that wouldnt have fired the both of them with cause. But not Florida. We look the other way when stench and rot is present.

 

[rogdochar]

No place for Mushscat to go but out. Does he know the way?

 

[BeachGator]

Holy sh!t. The fuking idiots on Gamecock Central are absolutely out of their
minds. Now they are saying they would like to have SOS back in the fold. Even going so far to say they think he would entertain the chance. How delusional can any fan base be? One a$$hole even went so far to say Jeri Spurrier loves USC. Maybe so, but not enough to go back to that dumpster fire.
Also, it appears that their Board of Trustees are contacting F$ux to see how they worked the money deal to get rid of Wiiillliiiee.

 

[MJMGator]

Just imagine, they’re 4-7 with another epic beat down coming at the hands of their in-state rival. One of their wins is against the #4 team in the country! Without that absolute fluke, they’d finish this year at 3-9.

But thanks to it, uga can't play the "we lost in the SECCG and should be in" card. I honestly think they may have been able to otherwise with the way the committee is viewing them right now. Imagine a close loss to #1 in Atlanta, and knowing that it was a loss to WM's 4-8 Usce team at home that prevented you from maybe getting a second shot.

You couldn't script a more "uga football" story.

He’s the winningest coach of all time there. And they ran him out. They’re idiots.

Didn’t SOS fire himself?

 

[MJMGator]

Didn’t SOS fire himself?

Their fans were calling for his head. Most delusional morons on the planet.

 

[BNAG8R]

I could chuck everything right now and live lavishly the rest of my life on 25m.

yeah, but you don’t have much life left to have a “rest of”.

 

[BNAG8R]

Why even come out with a statement like this? There were actual quotes of people on their board of trust talking about the size of the buyout being a concern, several who questioned whether or not they could afford it, etc., indicating at a minimum the idea had been tabled. According to their site, they were split. Once that leaked, poor form or not, there's no going back. The final statement is such condescending garbage that, based on their own actions in looking into the buyout, don't believe. No one is excited about the future with Muschamp.

Congrats, usce. You've somehow managed to make the noles look like a competent athletic department by comparison.

Whoa whoa whoa...let’s not get carried away.
