Dismiss defensive staff IMMEDIATELY in a real world

What can Spurrier do? 

Gamecocks have WORST defense in the nation, but Spurrier has to bite his tongue.

With 1:51 seconds to go, South Carolina was ahead of Tennessee by two TDs.

The Gamecocks' defense for the third time this year totally collapsed, as if there was no D on the field, and lost the game 45-42 in OT.

Head Coach Steve Spurrier - who personally apologized to the fans after the game - has to be a big man to not fire Defensive Coordinator Lorenzo Ward, and his staff tonight. If Spurrier were acting on merit only, he would terminate the defensive staff Saturday night.

Any man, in any job would be immediately fired if he did his job with the level of incompetence of Ward, and his staff.

It will take compassion for your fellow man, and a lot of restraint, to let Lorenzo Ward, and staff, stay to finish out the year.

With the defensive coaches, South Carolina has very little chance of beating Florida or Clemson. The home game with UAB is not a given.

That said: if Ward, and his whole defensive staff, are not let go at the absolute soonest point possible, Gameocck fans will abandon the team - or hopes in it - in droves.

There have been very few times when the Gamecocks have been as humiliated over their team as they have been this year. And it's because of the defense. 

Just when you think the D can be no more outrageously bad, it gets worse.

When SC's offense made some big plays to give the team a two-TD cushion so late in the game, the defense could not have played any worse, if it had been trying to concede the game.

Lorenzo should be very grateful Spurrier does not want to embarrass him, as he has embarrassed Spurrier, and the whole Gamecock nation. If Spurrier were reactionary Ward would be gone, already. And a lot of fans would not be hurt by it.
