The posters on the message board Cockytalk aren't enthusiastic about the hire of Will Muschamp. They are talking about him being the 4th candidate and some are saying RichRod thinks he's too good for them while others are asking why people say Muschamp is classless.:eek:lol:

Why wouldn't you go for an up and coming coordinator or a successful head coach at a lesser school? It makes no sense and the AD should punch himself in the balls repeatedly

I think the South Carolina AD will lose his job over this. I think if i would have been him i would have kept the interim head coach instead of hiring Muschamp

The fans would've flipped if he hired the interim coach, absolute worst decision ray tanner could've made. But tanner may keep his job depending on how well the baseball team does as well as the basketball team (both men's and women's team looks to be very solid this year).

The guy could barely recruit at Florida. How in the world will get anyone to South Carolina? The AD is clearly part of the problem there.

I personally thought they should've went after dino babers. Also, kudos to the acc coastal for beefing up for their division.

I'm not even really sure Muschamp was their "4th choice." He might've been the 12th or 14th choice. Its particularly embarrassing because they had months to conduct the search and still came up short. Justin Fuente chose Virginia Tech over SC and Tom Herman decided that staying in Houston was better. It looks like RichRod wasn't genuinely interested either and was using SC to get a raise, as well.

I can see some logic to hiring Muschamp, and he's not going to be a "disaster." Really, he left Florida in better shape than he inherited it; he just wasn't a very good head coach. I'm not convinced that offense was his only problem either. He just doesn't strike me as having the personality to "lead" and act as "CEO" of a major program. He recruited reasonably well at Florida but never could everything out of his players; and it seemed like they were frequently lackadaisical about non-rivalry games. (Seriously, am I the only one who noticed his teams showed up for Tenneseee, Georgia, and FSU, but not Vandy, Mizzou, SCe, etc?) Of course, while recruiting was decent at Florida under Muschamp, it's a lot easier to recruit in Gainesville with the flagship program in one of the best states for talent in the nation than it is in Columbia, SC, where you're playing 2nd fiddle even in your own state.

Muschamp might get SC back to some 6-6 and 7-5 type seasons, but I'd be shocked to see SC at 10-2 with a top 10 ranking again.

Muschamp's worst class at Florida was #8 his first three classes were top 5. Recruiting was not the problem.

Muschamp was as good as they were gonna get. It's South Carolina for Christs sake, a washed up Spurrier and Muschamp is their ceiling.

They get coaches who are looking to end their careers. Maybe Muschamp knows he'll get fired in about 3-4 years and will just ride out another buyout

While some take shots at Spurrier for bolting during the season, his success there makes it difficult on the next hire. His run will be the bar, and thats hard to meet much less top at USC.

Hopefully CBJ will drop a line about how amazing it is to see all the disappointment on the gamecock fan's faces. I know he's too classy for that but it would be awesome.

Where did their fans do to us?
If he's going to go that route, then say it's great to see the opposing coach disappointed.

I"ll be Honest.I think he will do good at South Carolina. He knows his offense cost him his job.the players at Sc fit Roper's offense much better than Florida's did. Don't buy into that he can't recruit BS .He signed some studs at Florida.
