Hate what happened to Will Muschamp- he’s a good man who didn’t win enough. He & Gators handled this w/ class and will be better off for it.

Following Muschamp’s firing, speculation began of his next coaching job. Here are some examples: Clay Travis — Outkick The Coverage, Fox Sports
Can you imagine pairing Will Muschamp with the defense and Gus Malzahn with the offense at Auburn? Heavyweight coaching duo. — Clay Travis (@ClayTravisBGID) November 16, 2014
SDS’ Brad Crawford answering rumors of Muschamp’s potential interest in joining South Carolina’s staff as a defensive coordinator
Before #Gamecocks fans preach Muschamp to Columbia as DC, allow Lorenzo Ward to at least finish the season. Unfair to him. — Brad Crawford (@BCrawfordSDS) November 16, 2014
But judging by Spurrier’s friendly comments on Muschamp throughout the season and his eulogy yesterday, wouldn’t be shocked if it happens. — Brad Crawford (@BCrawfordSDS) November 16, 2014
ESPN’s Travis Haney
Actually says a lot about Muschamp as a defensive coach that as many people talking about his DC future as Florida’s next hire. — Travis Haney (@TravHaneyESPN) November 16, 2014
SDS’ Brett Weisband
Where will Will Muschamp land? There are three good possibilities in the #SEC. http://t.co/zMnn21Ju4F via @SDS @csmithSDS — Brett Weisband (@WeisbandSDS) November 16, 2014
