Any chance of Gators' Will Muschamp going to to Gamecocks as DC?

Could Muschamp to
South Carolina as DC have
any credibility? 

As the Gamecock defense continues to under-impress Head Ball Coach Steve Spurrier, rumors are circulating that Will Muschamp, a fair bet to be let go as the Florida Gators' head coach, could be the next defensive coordinator at South Carolina.

Without a pretty stout turnaround, Muschamp will be looking for another job in the not too distant future. But could he come to South Carolina? The Columbia-based Web-blog FITS News claims it has sources that say Muschamp is a candidate to come to the Gamecocks as DC.

Of course, what FITS News lacks in originality and insight, it more than makes up for in libel-esque activity. FITS' motto should read: "Where we report gossip as Gospel."

Anyway: it's very illogical to be seriously talking Muschamp as a DC replacement at SC, at this point. Way too much would have to happen.

But FITS says: “Multiple sources close to the University of South Carolina football program tell FITS the 43-year-old Georgia native is being eyed for a job as the Gamecocks’ next defensive coordinator. In fact our sources say Spurrier is lobbying hard for Muschamp’s hiring owing to two things: 1) Muschamp’s previous success as a defensive coach and, 2) the friendship the two SEC East rivals have struck up in recent years.”

“Multiple sources?” Log onto Gamecock Central's FGF fans' chat board. That is likely the “Multiple Sources” to which FITS refers.

Not that it could not happen, but I would not put much stock in any claims that FITSNews makes about Spurrier and USC.

FITS was as cookie-cutter antagonist as much of the Columbia influence-jealous media toward Spurrier. But Spurrier began posting double-digit win totals year after year, and that shut-up a lot of the FITS-types. Before that, FITS often published raw accusations against the Gamecocks sent to him, anonymously, from enemies of the USC program. FITS should be thankful for liberal libel laws.

FITS once claimed that a USC baseball player cheated on a high-school level exam, and the Gamecocks' National Championship teams would have to “vacate” wins from the College World Series.

FITS also poked fun, using a discredited radio hack, at USC fans for being excited about the signing of Jadeveon Clowney. The site never acknowledged its ignorance after Clowney materialized into the NFL's top pick.

And FITS News made a click-bait salacious claim about Gov. Nikki Haley, that its founder promised to prove. But it later was claimed a crashed hard drive erased the “proof.”

So you may be able to give FITS' “Multiple Sources” report about as much credibility as FITS deserves.
