Report: Florida fires Will Muschamp
By Jerry Hinnen | College Football Writer
Will Muschamp went 27-20 in his four seasons with the Florida Gators. (USATSI)Florida has fired Will Muschamp, according to multiple sources.
Muschamp's Gators lost 23-20 in overtime to South Carolina Saturday, dropping them to 5-4 for the season and eliminating them from SEC East contention. The loss was Muschamp's sixth in his last eight home games in 'the Swamp.'
Muschamp leaves with two games remaining in the 2014 season, his fourth at the school. Though he took the Gators to the Sugar Bowl following an 11-1 regular season in 2012, he posted an overall record of 27-20, but only 17-15 in the SEC with only one winning conference record in his four seasons.
Muschamp's conservative offenses have proven unpopular with Florida fans accustomed to the high-scoring attacks of Steve Spurrier and Urban Meyer, with the Gators ranking 71st, 78th, 113th and currently 62nd in FBS scoring offense.
A former defensive coordinator for Auburn and Texas, Muschamp was hired by Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley in December 2010 following the health-related resignation of Urban Meyer.
