Interested in the boards opinion here.
Before Spurrier, for the most part the program was pretty bad. I don't believe they are in the top 50 for all time wins. Spurrier built them up pretty well though. Never quite got to the elite, but made the tier just below.
Will they go back to the dark ages, or has Spurrier built enough of a foundation for them to stay as a legitimate program? Obviously, it will depend largely on who they hire but thoughts?

Depends on if they get someone that can recruit.
If so, then they will probably be alright. If not, then well.....the drop is steep.

Reality hit this past season. Good thing they've polished up their coattail riding the past few years.

I think they'd be a more attractable program than what they were pre-Spurrier, so I think they'll be a pretty competitive program post-Spurrier with a good hire. Say around usually 9-4 or so.

They'll probably be as good as Mizzou down the road. They will have a couple of winning seasons here and there, some bowl games, maybe win the division when its down.

The name of the game in the SEC is recruiting. The only two exceptions are Missouri's two fluky SEC East titles due to Florida, Georgia, and Tennessee being "down."

I think we will be fine. I don't think we will win 10 games a yr because realistically nobody does that not even the schools that are classified as elite.

We'll probably just drop the sport

They will win the same number of SEC championships after Spurrier that they have won with him.

Spurrier built enough of a foundation for them to stay as a legitimate program
Thats my take. Reading some interesting articles about "Battling for South Carolina" involving USC and Clemson its seems that USC has turned the proverbial corner in state.
I would suspect that they would be a competitive program and not fall back into the darkness like they were prior to Holtz/Spurrier.

You skipped a step.
#1 Carolina was historically not good
#2 Hired Lou Holtz, HoF coach
#3 Hired Steve Spurrier, HoF coach
Post Spurrier the Cocks have shown they will hire at least another HoF coach or one who will make the HoF someday. I do not foresee the Cocks returning to their pre SEC days and should have little trouble attracting a Top 25 to Top 50 type coach. SEC TV money means mo money, mo money, mo money.
