I just want to see my Gamecocks fight through it from beginning to end. I suspect we're going to walk away from this one with a lot of fans angrier at Spurrier and Shawn Elliott ... more so than some are already.
Aside from these forums and other fanatic websites, the general consensus seems to be "it's muschamps fault" from the *casual fans.
Sad days ahead. Like I said above, I don't blame him, yet. Need a couple years to see a big improvement, but when we lose to A&M, get ready for people to start asking if it's possible to even hire Les Miles, Rofl.

As a hardcore Gamecock fan, I'll sum it up simply:
I do not want to be whoever QB we use Saturday. Maybe there will be an NCAA record set for sacks. That OLINE is pathetic.
I go with 60+ points for A&M. Maybe even negative yards total for the entire game for the Gamecocks.
PS.
Let me be fair and say that I don't entirely blame this on Muschamp, yet. He was left with nothing but kids and low talent. If we don't improve next year, I give up. I think we might can get one or two tackles on A&M Saturday. Diving head first of course.

It only makes sense to keep at least one coach just for recruiting continuity, and of the clowns we had, which would you prefer over Elliott? Ward? Jr.? Adams? Elliott has passion and love for the school, and he may have gotten lazy last couple years as you say, but that's because the last guy in charge allowed it. Bad habits and lackluster effort trickles downhill. Muschamp will lead by example and will expect his coaches to give it their all. If Elliott doesn't get the job done, he won't stick. So no need to worry over it in my opinion.
I would assume many would argue keeping Mangus vs Elliot would have been a good idea. I'd be okay with either considering Muschamp isn't scared to replace someone.
Overall, I think the emphasis on "blue collar hard worker" is big with Ray Tanner & Muschamp and it was what helped Elliot stick around for a tryout. Lots of will to be here at an SC school... and knowing how attentive the man was watching Muschamp get his dream job instead was a demonstration of high class.
re: South Carolina hired Florida's greatest coach

Why is it so hard for everyone to realize that while we would have taken Smart or Herman.. Muschamp could still be a better fit for a program like South Carolina?
We aren't a monster of a school like some of our fans act like. We got Muschamp for a very good deal and he is already putting more work in than our old head coach did within an entire year.
I like the hires and changes already happening and it's only officially day two.

Keeping Elliot is the best option out of anyone else who were on staff. He's already on the recruiting trail with Muschamp as we speak this second.
If you can't trust Muschamp with anything else, he knows how to recruit and choosing Elliot to help out is for a reason. I think we should let this play out before getting overly critical, but eh just my opinion.

re: South Carolina now has the angriest group of coaches in SEC history

I think South Carolina (the state) ranks #1 for domestic violence so I guess this is fitting.

Sounding like to me, it isn't the worst hire because he picks kids who can improve and fit his system.
Sounds like we will be moving to more of a faster paced team and I'm all for that.
After the press conference, I feel like it is actually a good hire.. especially with the incentive based contract and low price we are paying. We can fire him with 10 days notice and 70% pay or something like that anyways.

Will has his back against the wall. This is the last real chance he will get in a HC position, and he will try to make the best of it. I really don't think things will be nearly as horrible as many act.

re: If Muschamp is a done deal, why did the USF guy interview?
Posted by sportsfanatic7 on 12/5/15 at 2:42 pm
Good catch. I haven't personally seen the contract and that makes more sense.
re: I will say it here right now, later to other two boards to which I belong
Posted by sportsfanatic7 on 12/5/15 at 11:27 am
I think Will is getting the short end of the stick with all the trash talking of him.
Will learned from his mistakes as head coach at Florida and with the right OC and staff, he will be different.

From what I understand, Muschamp has to stay with Auburn until midnight tonight to not owe any money.
Ray is covering all bases and doing his best to talk to anyone he can before the deal goes through soon.

There were multiple inteference calls ignored on both sides. I think the refs just let us have it out for the most part.

The entire staff. Along with the admins on the CockyIdiot forum.

I'd agree if our offense would have done anything worthy when given the chance. Can't wait for a new staff.

Would have won if we didn't let turnovers and early defensive plays go to waste. That's the worst part.
I think as a whole, we did much better than expected.

Until we can get a coach that doesn't quit on us in the middle of a season, expect a lot more of it.
I've had time to think. The man quit. End of story.

re: Who are the current targets for coaching USCe?
Posted by sportsfanatic7 on 10/17/15 at 2:58 am
Out of everyone I'd be okay with:
Smart
Morris
Fuente
Kelly (not happening)
Dantonio
Herman
In no particular order. Out of one of those guys, we have a shot at a pretty good hire I would think. I am not ready to consider anyone else currently, but who knows.
Even that list could be out of reach. We aren't a school who has had much success outside of Spurrier, so it's not the best job to take. Our new fans will expect instant success which most likely won't happen.

re: Why do people on this board use the term Yankee as an insult?
Posted by sportsfanatic7 on 10/16/15 at 5:11 pm
Yankees have removed the "help thy neighbor" mindset down here in SC. They come in, build subdivisions and then complain how things aren't as good as up North.
Then after a few years, they complain about the traffic that they are causing and move on to another smaller community to destroy again.
Back in the day, you knew everyone at the grocery stores and helped each other when there were problems. Now everyone is a Yankee and the "rednecks" as they refer to many of us keep to themselves.

That's actually big money for naming rights of a college baseball stadium. I'm hearing it may be the second biggest in the country for a college baseball stadium.
You're right. All this football stuff has clouded my judgement on the amount of money it would be for a college baseball stadium. It's not too shabby.

Posted by sportsfanatic7 on 10/16/15 at 12:37 pm
Founders pay 1.4 million dollars per year with their current 10 year contract. That includes all of the "bonus perks" they added in. On just the name basis, it is a staggering $450k a year! /sarcasm
I'm not one to turn down money, especially with a program that needs it, but we could have made more money I suspect. A lot more.
Edit: thinking about it, it's not too bad for baseball I guess.
