]]> Take a man with previous head coaching experience in the SEC. An architect of defenses that never finished lower than 15th nationally in yards allowed. A well-known recruiter whose signing classes ranked fifth, eighth, 12th, and fourth nationally.
Sounds like a home run hire for South Carolina, doesn’t it?

That man, 44 year-old Will Muschamp, was introduced Monday as South Carolina’s 34th head football coach at Williams-Brice Stadium.

Yet the last question that athletic director Ray Tanner fielded at Muschamp’s press conference was about the social-media anxiety his hiring had generated.

“We got our man. We got a Gamecock. Buckle up your seatbelt. Get on board,” Tanner replied, drawing applause from the Board of Trustee members and Gamecock Club donors seated on the right side of the Zone.

]]> New South Carolina head coach Will Muschamp is well-known throughout the country in various coaching circles. He’s widely regarded as one of the best defensive coaches in the country as well as a top-notch recruiter.

On Monday, Dec. 7, Muschamp was officially introduced as the 34th head coach of the University of South Carolina. Many former players were in attendance at his introductory press conference and they all had good things to say about the Rome, Georgia native.

“I’m very excited, I think he was a great fit for us,” Board of Trustees member and former Gamecock Chuck Allen said. “I think he’s one heck of a football coach. He was my favorite from the very beginning.”

So much so that when asked why Muschamp was the “right fit” for the South Carolina job at his introductory press conference at Williams-Brice Stadium on Monday, Dec. 7, that particular conversation is what came to Tanner’s mind.
