The writing was on the wall for Muschamp before Bobo was even hired. Our own president let it slip that we were looking into firing him a month before Bobo took the job.

The best way for Bobo to have helped Muschamp would have been to actually make a change at QB when it was required. The image of Muschamp's stubbornness and refusal to adapt was widespread knowledge and is what ultimately did him in.

There is no way our staff didn't hear the public outcry against Hill week-after-week from October to November. My personal belief is that Bobo recognized that continuing to play Hill after Muschamp was fired would not bode well for his job at SC with the boosters, so he put in Doty to make it look like he was embracing the future.

Even if that's not the case, it's clear to everyone with eyes and a brain that Hilinski is far more talented than a kid who has been in college for 5 years and didn't accomplish anything except 3 torn ACLs in the damn Mountain West. SC fans and boosters would have been happier if Hilinski played.

That's the thing my guy, coaches aren't there to make the popular decision. If we're going to say "hey we're going to lose anyway why not play hilinski?" That's fine
