The 180 that USC fans have taken on Muschump is hysterical. If during the season you told them they would end up with him as their HC, they would probably say something along the lines of, "no way, our program has changed and we will get a top tier coach not a failure".

Except that didn't happen. When there were rumors last year that Spurrier was trying to hire Muschamp as DC, one of the supposed stipulations was that he would be Spurrier's successor. There were some in the fanbase that weren't ok with that, but a great number of people were willing to pull that trigger.

I thought Herman would have been the guy, but it didn't work out. No use pining over something that didn't come to pass. Muschamp isn't my first choice, but the enthusiasm and work ethic is a gale force wind of fresh air, and he's assembled the best staff we've probably ever had. He's done a good job of winning over those who were deeply disappointed that Herman didn't happen.
