Rumor out of Columbia Muschamp is out [Confirmed]

[SmokyRiverDog]

Again, Will Muschamp is not signing a contract at UT without a buyout. He will sign a completely new contract with UT and South Carolina holds no bearing on that. To your other point, much like Pruitt I don't believe Muschamps buyout is mitigated by new employment. Pruitt is owed 60% of his salary regardless of a new job at another school, I'm pretty sure Muschamps contract is similar and is not offset by a new salary.

I've read that Pruitt is the only coach in the SEC without a mitigation clause in his buyout.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

He’ll just want to work if he hires on anywhere short term. I’m not sure where you’re getting this 3 year narrative.

Its a generic number

 

[Vfl2407]

They won’t fire him unless they feel they have Freeze (or equivalent) locked up.

Which is the way that firing coaches SHOULD be done.

absolutely. unless you’re Tennessee.

Could be right and that may have changed when Muschamp reworked his deal

Our next DC

We already have 2 DCs. Pruitt and Ansley.

 

[SmokyRiverDog]

If Will Muschamp is fired today and hired in January as UT DC and UT fired Pruitt and company next December UT would owe Muschamp money.

What makes common sense, and what these idiots from athletic departments negotiate in contracts, are two totally separate things. Quite likely both of us are correct. I'm spouting how it works if everyone uses their brains, and you are spouting what these idiots will likely go and screw up.

Well yeah, our administration has made more people rich than reality TV

Well, yeah.

Its a generic number

You’re basing it on what Auburn was willing to shell out in addition to the $6.3 million Florida owed him. He’s set to receive $13 mil from SC...somebody will be able to land him with a decent salary.

Both terrible

We have one: Pruitt

Ansley is just a figurehead with the DC title

 

[SmokyRiverDog]

Ansley has to be furious that Pruitt has sabotaged what was a bright career trajectory.

 

[DOCTORLOOMIS]

I am willing to bet that if he has been fired, they go after Freeze

If so, we will be screwed again while we wait to see if Pruitt can coach

They say good things come to those who wait.

Hehe....

 

[orange parmejohn]

Be sure to tell that to who ever follows Saban and they lose the first game and the fans want to fire him.

A good coach will win the first game.

 

[Vfl2407]

I’m really surprised Ansley would want it that way. If true, and we keep Pruitt, why not save the money and fire Ansley. Let Pruitt handle defense only and give the offense to Chaney or a new OC with a great reputation for developing Quarterbacks.

Do they have more $$$ than us? Or just more commitment to winning?

 

[Lane Train 4]

Confirmed, he gone!

More committed, there's a homerun, common sense hire out there and they intend to make it

 

[UTwild82]

I think Sarkisian would be a good hire as well, as long as his personal life is in order (and I'd bet it is, or Saban wouldn't put up with it). And he has solid P5 HC experience. I'd take him over Fickell.

 

[Lane Train 4]

They will hire Jamey Chadwell imo. Then the 10-20 year streak of losing to South Carolina begins.

 

[m1al]

Do they have more $$$ than us? Or just more commitment to winning?

Definitely have a bigger sack.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Do they have more $$$ than us? Or just more commitment to winning?

Nowhere near our money, or donors

lol. Jay Nicholas has proven over the past couple of that he doesn’t know sh*t.

Phil's email should be absolutely flooded with this link...

 

[Malivol]

He’s fired per cbs sports. Don’t get your hopes up unless Phil goes Pruitt isn’t going.
