Rumor out of Columbia Muschamp is out [Confirmed]

[ButchPlz]

Why in the hell would Hugh Freeze take the SCar job? He’ll have the opportunity to get a big time P5 job in the next couple of years.

Yep.

And frankly Liberty can make him much more comfortable in the meantime than USCjr.

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

We just don’t have anyone to stand up and make a statement in the AD department.
There is no reason we can’t have any coach we want. I’ve had season tickets for 11 yrs, spent ungodly amounts of money at games, merchandise. UT needs to open the dang check book up to a real coach. Tired of the “ rising star” hires

We may not be able to afford firing Pruitt but we damn sure can't afford to keep him...

 

[VOL Campbell]

I’ve also heard Napier is the #1 target and that he wants the job.

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

At least Oregon State doesnt have an opening or Freeze would be all over that...

 

[ButchPlz]

They will nab Freeze and slide in nicely behind Florida and Georgia in the SEC East. Book it.

Freeze won't go there.

 

[VolInNW]

But, but, but.....

The pearl clutchers are telling us to be patient. NEXT year, year 4, Pruitt is gonna like, TOTALLY get it, and 5 years later, when he finally has his guys on the field after 9 recruiting classes, The light will click for JG, and we will be a DYnAMO! Because, patience. And reasons. And Freeze isn’t pure. And Kiffin is a big ole meanie. And reasons. Always reasons.

If USC hires Freeze, I’m about done for a while.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

I’m told they are wanting Napier or Chadwell.
I live here in Chas SC, my SC friends said he was informed last night he was out but waited till today to meet with team. Supposedly news conference at 4pm. Just what I’ve been told.
Just like I was told we had Gruden too

Heard they liked Healy

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Freeze won't go there.

Correct

I’ve read this on The Big Spur this morning also. Also, good to see another Charleston Vol fan here!

I think Muschamp's buyout is $13.2 mil

Doesn't matter to big money

Houston Kress tweeting it.

 

[FranklinVFL]

How can they afford to fire a coach but we can't?

Before you say Butch buyout, those payments end early next year and we generate 8 figures more revenue annually...

$12M buyout for Pruitt by himself.

Asst coaches on top of that.

How can USC afford a bigger buyout with significantly less revenue?

 

[Volnbeers]

oh god. will muschamp is going to be our next DC isn't he.

 

[landscapingvol]

oh god. will muschamp is going to be our next DC isn't he.

Close, he will be our next head coach after he revives his career at Bama as the DC

We have been a turnstile for 13 years of bad coaching decisions and a total lack of any continuity. We are also on our 4th AD, 3rd mBB and second wBB coach. All those buyouts in total have left us with nothing in savings.

Not just our football history of buyouts, but the whole athletic department has been paying buyouts is almost all sports.

Just ridiculous at how our Athletic department has mismanaged athletics. Like we are not even a DI school.

 

[508mikey]

oh god. will muschamp is going to be our next DC isn't he.

with that buyout he might go the Butch Jones route and not work til its paid off

 

[Volnbeers]

lol, yea which means pruitt will be our coach for another 3 years until muschamp is fully rehabbed.

Even with those buyouts, we have generated close to $200MM more in revenue than USC over the past decade....

Or he will negotiate a slightly lower buyout to get rid of the offset clause.

This is why 13/14 ADs in the SEC put offset clauses into contracts and why Fulmer is an idiot for not including in Pruitt's contract.

Waiting for Carolina Jackpot to make the announcement.

In fairness to Fulmer, Sexton will not agree to an offset clause for his clients. Butch had different representation when his deal was negotiated. As a practical matter, UTAD could've stopped paying Butch a couple of years ago and argued willful underemployment in a TN state court if Butch tried to sue. We got no balls up there.

 

[butchna]

I'm honestly trying to figure out how he got hired at SC in the first place.

They wanted Kirby or Herman.
