Could Brad Lawing become the Gamecocks' defensive line coach job?

There is a load of speculation surrounding the destination of fired Florida Head Coach Will

Muschamp. But he's not the only Gator coach valued as an assistant. Brad Lawing is Florida's defensive line coach. He came to Gainsville after leaving SC for personal reasons. He is a great DL coach. One of the best.

Muschamp, a high-quality defensive coordinator is sought-after and being mentioned as a defensive coordinator for many programs, including South Carolina's. Current DC Lorenzo Ward could be replaced because of the Gamecocks' implosion on D this season.

But maybe the most disappointing position on the Gamecocks' weak defense is the defensive line. From game one of 2014 - a defensive debacle versus Texas A&M - Head Coach Steve Spurrier mentioned coaching in reference to the D-line.

Lawing left South Carolina after the 2012 season. Deke Adams came from North Carolina and took over for Lawing. Adams immediately showed signs of under-performing in the handling of All-World talent Jadeveon Clowney. But there was so much talent on the Gamecocks' D-line in 2013, Adams was able to get by.

In 2014, the D-line has looked soft, poor tackling and unable to shed blocks. It's nowhere near the level of play needed to win in the SEC.

Not sure if Lawing's personal issues that he was experiencing in Columbia have passed. But if there is any chance of getting Lawing back on the Gamecock sideline, hiring him is a no-brainier.

Lawing has a a long history at South Carolina and he would be a welcome addition to the Gamecock defensive staff. Hopefully someone from USC has already been on the phone to Lawing to see if he has any interest in coming back home. If so, throw the bank at him.
