Rodney is "THE Bag Man" and everyone knows it - we just all accept it and move on. No big deal - unless you make one out of it.

He's y'all's problem, not ours. We're just enjoying the show.

If we were irrelevant as South Carolina, we could hope nobody would care about anything Rodney had to say. Kind of like nobody cared when Spephen Garcia mentioned seeing and hearing about plenty of players receving plenty of money.



Yeah, nobody cared. Nobody except for CBS Sports, Sports Illustrated, ESPN, Yahoo Sports, NFL.com, Auburn247 Sports, Fox Sports. You know, nobody that matters.

Why can't Rodney get along with coaches? I believe he and Smart are not friendly either.

JC Shurburtt, a more reliable source had some interesting takes on the Muschamp/Ward/whoever else coming to USC situation:

"Ward is telling recruits he will be back at South Carolina next season. Now this could mean a variety of things, but I will tell you that he is not opposed to returning to working under an Assistant Head Coach- Defense type of deal like he did when Ellis Johnson was at South Carolina."

"Things are still ongoing on the Will Muschamp front. Should it not work out on South Carolina's end, there are other coaches interested. Bo Pelini and Manny Diaz are two that are interested. Of course, Ellis Johnson is an option and is interested in returning to South Carolina in some capacity. This is one of those situations where it has to play out and Muschamp holds the cards, but if he elects to return to Auburn, I do not expect USC to just stand pat if there's an opportunity to upgrade the staff as a whole."

South Carolina would seem to make more sense. Spurrier is not going to be there forever, and maybe by the time that he gets ready to leave Muschamp will be ready to be a head coach again.
I think there will be too much ego problems at Auburn. It will probably be hard for Muschamp to be a coordinator again after being a head coach, and he will need a place where the head coach gives him plenty of freedom to run his own program.

Yeah, well, autocorrect is a bitch sometimes. You got me.

I could care less about Muschamp one way or the other. If he comes, good, if he doesn't, then whomever. What I don't get is the attitude by some Aubies, not all mind you but some, that's .... well, the entitlement attitude. The inferiority complex some of y'all are displaying. Y'all are handling this poorly.

Rodney is known as "The Original Bagman" and always has been wherever he's coached. Do we really need to start linking old references, many of them found on this very site. Just admit it and let's move-on. Garcia's comments may be taken any way you want ... but Rodney is a known, well-known, bag man and always has been.

Now, if Boom wants to risk his future on the same staff trying to control the guy then that's up to Boom ... but I suspect those two egos would clash in a big way.

If I could put a dream-team defensive staff together right now, and this ain't gonna happen but if I could ... it would look like this.

Muschamp - Assistant HC and DC.
EJ - LBs
Lawing - DLine
Whammy - Safeties, Co-DC (title only)
T-Rob - Corners

That would be an all-star defensive staff but, as I stated earlier, it ain't gonna happen.

why in the world are so many people going after Champ....

Yes, the dude is a great D coach, but there are many just as good if given the opportunity. He isn't known as a great recruiter and that is half the battle. He also doesn't like hurry up offenses, stated so on several occasions. He knows that such offenses bring the Defenses down in rank by being on the field so often.

I would much rather go for an up and comer or lower level man who is ready to put in the work on a daily basis to prove himself. JMHO of course. and thank God for Rob Smith!

Gus gives his DC free reign. I heard Spurrier criticize his DC/D play quite a few times this year. Gus did not do the same.

He could score another head coaching job quickly in SC. Seems that would be a huge factor.

Ummmm, well ... lulz, I cannot believe I am having to explain this but .... wonder if Gus would have criticized his DC had his defense finished last in the conference this season?

BTW, where is Gus' DC right now?

Let's play the game.

Spurrier showing loyalty to his current coaches, trying to find a work-a-round to keep Whammy and most of the others ... or Gus firing EJ after only two seasons?

So, do you really want to play the "Gus leaves his DCs alone ... Spurrier doesn't" hand?

frick yeah Spurrier criticized his DC and defense this year .... they sucked donkey balls. He should have fired all their asses the day after the season was over ... but Spurrier is a kinder, gentler, Spurrier than he us to be. Plus he'll be a good mentor to Boom, a fatherly figure, a guiding hand to success.

There will be ego problems at Auburn but not at South Carolina? He will be working under what can be considered one of the most egotistical coaches in all of college football. Sure SOS has a different approach than Nick Saban but SOS thinks his shite doesn't stink.

But Gus is quick to admit his shite stinks ... amirite? Is that what you are claiming? Because, if that's the case he ain't SEC head-coaching material for long.

Nice guys finish last in this league.

You may be right about that. I thought maybe Spurrier might be a little more humble after the year that he had. Especially after he mouthed off so much at the beginning of the season.
I think that he might leave the defense coordinator alone, because he really doesn't know anything about defense, but thinks he knows everything about the offense. He just doesn't want to work too hard. Now that I think about it, South Carolina would be a bad choice, because Muschamp is used to putting in a lot of long hours and Spurrier just doesn't believe that is necessary, but everyone thinks he's doing a good job because it's South Carolina. If South Carolina would get a coach that is willing to put in the time and hard work, they will be surprised at how Steve fooled them all these years.

that`s why i asked, most AU posters are aware of that possibility that they don`t get along..hopefully that can be smoothed over.


Word once was Muschamp didn't care for Jay Jacobs either. Can Jacobs kow-tow enough to get him back to the Plains?

So which is it? Gus is this horrible ogre who fired Ellis Johnson and Spurrier is a kinder, gentler good guy that kept his crappy defensive staff around because he's a swell guy?

Then you post this. All signs are pointing to early onset dementia, you really should go see a doctor.

Will Muschamp is the most highly coveted coach this offseason.
