Former South Carolina coach Will Muschamp working as analyst at UGA

Former South Carolina and Florida head coach Will Muschamp has been working with Georgia football in recent weeks

Former South Carolina and Florida head coach Will Muschamp has been working with Georgia football in recent weeks. Now, Kirby Smart has confirmed Muchamp’s role with the University of Georgia.

Muschamp played safety at Georgia and has coached defensive backs multiple times over his coaching career. He’ll be a defensive analyst at Georgia and is scheduled to make $300,000. Muschamp will also receive a buyout nearing $15 million from South Carolina.

The UGA alum (1991-1994) was fired by the Gamecocks before the end of the 2020 college football season. At South Carolina, Muschamp ended his career with a record of 28-30 overall.

Before coaching at South Carolina, Muschamp spent time as Auburn’s defensive coordinator in 2015 and was the head coach of the Florida Gators.

Coach Kirby Smart and Muschamp are friends, who both played together at UGA. They have coached together multiple times including stints with Valdosta State, LSU and the Miami Dolphins. Muschamp’s son, Jackson Muschamp, joined the Georgia program as a walk-on quarterback.

Muschamp played safety at Georgia and has coached defensive backs multiple times over his coaching career. His experience against Clemson, the SEC East, and more will be an asset for Georgia next season.

Ingram-Dawkins has the size and length to win battles in the trenches at six-foot-five, 290 pounds. Kirby Smart and Dan Lanning are building an elite recruiting class on the defensive side of the ball. The Bulldogs are close to securing a top-five rated class in the country.

Twitter reacts: South Carolina hires Shane Beamer as head coach

The South Carolina Gamecocks have hired Shane Beamer as their head coach. Beamer previously coached under Kirby Smart at UGA.

The South Carolina Gamecocks have hired Shane Beamer as their head coach. The Gamecocks recently fired Will Muschamp, who played football for the University of Georgia from 1991-1994.

Shane Beamer is the son of legendary Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer. Shane will look to replicate some of his father’s success with the Gamecocks.

Shane Beamer has a lot of good coaching ties. He coached under Kirby Smart at Georgia as tight ends coach and special teams coordinator from 2016-2018. Beamer then left to become assistant head coach under Lincoln Riley at Oklahoma.

Beamer’s previously had coaching stints under Steve Spurrier at South Carolina, under Phillip Fulmer at Tennessee, and more. Shane Beamer has been around some of the top minds in college football coaching, but he will have a tall task ahead of himself at South Carolina. The Gamecocks are struggling in recruiting and are regularly getting outclassed by Clemson.

Here’s how Twitter reacted to South Carolina’s latest head coaching hire:

Twitter reacts to Georgia football’s blowout win over South Carolina

Twitter reacts to Georgia Bulldogs football’s blowout 45-16 win over South Carolina Gamecocks. UGA football is now 6-2 on the season.

The Georgia Bulldogs dominated the South Carolina Gamecocks to win 45-16 in Columbia. The Dawgs have now won three straight games at South Carolina. Overall, the University of Georgia has won five of six games against the Gamecocks.

Of course, Will Muschamp and the Gamecocks won in Athens in 2019, but Kirby Smart and Georgia got revenge today. South Carolina was missing numerous players due to injuries and opt outs.

Georgia ran for over 300 yards and dominated South Carolina in the trenches on both sides of the football. Quarterback JT Daniels managed the game well for the Bulldogs. Georgia’s defense stepped up and limited South Carolina’s offense, which was the only bright spot for the Gamecocks.

Georgia defensive tackle Jalen Carter, the entire offensive line, running back James Cook, and freshman wide receiver Arian Smith stood out in UGA’s blowout victory.

Here’s how Georgia football Twitter reacted to the big win:

Commentators set for Georgia Bulldogs at South Carolina Gamecocks

The SEC Network commentators have been set for the Georgia Bulldogs at South Carolina Gamecocks football game

The SEC Network commentators have been set for the Georgia Bulldogs at South Carolina Gamecocks football game. The 7:30 p.m. night game will be hosted from Columbia, South Carolina.

Former Georgia Bulldog star offensive lineman Matt Stinchcomb will be on the call as an analyst along with play-by-play announcer Taylor Zarzour. Alyssa Lang will be the SEC Network sideline reporter for the SEC rivalry game.

Interestingly, Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs will be facing former Georgia offensive coordinator Mike Bobo, who is South Carolina’s interim coach. The Gamecocks fired head coach Will Muschamp midway through the season when it became clear that it was another disappointing year for South Carolina. Muschamp will still be interested in the game because his son is a walk-on at the University of Georgia.

Following Muschamp’s dismissal, several South Carolina players have opted out of the remaining games this year. Linebacker/safety RJ Roderick, defensive tackle Makius Scott, cornerback Jaycee Horn, and cornerback Israel Mukuamu all opted out for the Gamecocks.

Israel Mukuamu was an absolute nightmare for Georgia last season. He intercepted Jake Fromm three times and returned one of them for a touchdown last. His performance helped South Carolina pull of an upset victory in Athens. Georgia will try to avenge last year’s defeat, which was the last time the Bulldogs lost at home.

SEC Twitter reacts as South Carolina fires Will Muschamp

The South Carolina Gamecocks have fired head coach Will Muschamp. Former UGA offensive coordinator Mike Bobo is USC’s interim coach.

The South Carolina Gamecocks fired head coach Will Muschamp following Saturday’s embarrassing 59-42 loss to Ole Miss. The Gamecocks are 2-5 and are second to last in the SEC East.

South Carolina has three games left on its schedule, including a home game against the Georgia Bulldogs. Interestingly, South Carolina’s interim head coach will be former University of Georgia offensive coordinator Mike Bobo.

Muschamp became head coach of South Carolina in 2015. His best season for the Gamecocks came in 2017, when he helped South Carolina go 9-4. Overall, he finished his career with a 28-30 record during his five seasons with South Carolina.

Muschamp was previously the head coach at Florida, where he went 28-21 over four seasons with the Gators. College football fans shouldn’t be surprised if Mushcamp ends up as a defensive coordinator for prominent SEC program for his next gig.

Here’s how SEC football Twitter reacted to the news of Muchamp’s firing:

Social media celebrates: UGA football lands commitment from 4-star DT

The Georgia Bulldogs football program added a commitment from Gaffney, South Carolina defensive tackle Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins

The Georgia Bulldogs have added a commitment from defensive tackle Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins who is a four-star recruit. 247Sports considers him the top player in South Carolina. Ingram-Dawkins committed to the Bulldogs instead of the South Carolina Gamecocks.

Ingram-Dawkins is in the class of 2021 and plays football at Gaffney High School. Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins was also contemplating UNC and Tennessee, but put the Dawgs and Gamecocks in his final two.

This commitment hurts for South Carolina Gamecocks head coach Will Muschamp. South Carolina lost the best recruit in its state to an SEC East rival and has a weak overall recruiting class.

Ingram-Dawkins joins Marlin Dean as the two defensive tackle commitments for the Bulldogs in the class of 2021. Here’s how Georgia Bulldogs football Twitter reacted to the commitment from Ingram-Dawkins:

The Georgia Bulldogs have been heating up in recruiting recently. Who will be the next top prospect to commit to the Dawgs?

This commitment hurts for Will Muschamp and the South Carolina Gamecocks, who’ve had a brutal week. Following a big win over Auburn, the LSU Tigers beat USC 52-24. Now, South Carolina loses the best recruit in their state to an SEC East rival. Rough times for a team with a recruiting class that is barely rated in the top fifty in the country.

Ingram-Dawkins has the size and length to win battles in the trenches at six-foot-five, 290 pounds. He joins Marlin Dean as the two defensive tackle commitments for the Bulldogs in the class of 2022.

Georgia football among final four for elite DT

The Georgia Bulldogs have made the latest list of top schools for defensive tackle Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins

The Georgia Bulldogs have made the latest list of top schools for defensive tackle Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins. Ingram-Dawkins is a four-star recruit.

247Sports rates him as the best player in the state of South Carolina. They favor him committing to the South Carolina Gamecocks.

Ingram-Dawkins is in the class of 2021 and plays football at Gaffney High School. Gaffney is one of the elite high school programs in South Carolina.ย  It is the home of Super Bowl champion and former University of South Carolina wide receiver Sidney Rice.

Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins released his top four schools via his Twitter account:

Ingram-Dawkins puts UGA, South Carolina, North Carolina and Tennessee in his top schools. We’ll update you if he makes a commitment.

Ingram-Dawkins has the size to battle in the trenches at 6 feet, 5 inches, 290 pounds. He’ll fortify one college football program’s defensive interior.ย  Notably, the talented defensive tackle does not have in-state powerhouse Clemson among his top schools.

Kirby Smart and Dan Lanning are building a good recruiting class on the defensive side of the ball. The Dawgs have a pair of defensive end commitments in Jonathan Jefferson and Elijah Jeudy.ย  Despite this duo, UGA needs to add a defensive tackle to the class following a decommitment at the position.

Mark Richt defends former UGA coach Mike Bobo

Former Georgia Bulldogs and Miami Hurricanes head coach Mark Richt came to the defense of former Colorado State coach Mike Bobo.

Former Georgia Bulldogs and Miami Hurricanes head coach Mark Richt came to the defense of one of his former assistants in Mike Bobo. Mike Bobo and Mark Richt coached together for quite sometime in Athens, Georgia.

Richt and Bobo have extensive experience together, so Richt knows a lot about Bobo and his character. In fact, Bobo coached at UGA from 2001-2014 and Richt coached for the Dawgs from 2001-2015. Mike Bobo coached quarterbacks and was offensive coordinator at Georgia.

Bobo has been accused of being racially insensitive during his time with Colorado State and of having a toxic culture there.

In his defense, Mark Richt said in a Tweet: “Mike Bobo was on my UGA staff for the first 14 years that I was there. During those years I cannot remember receiving one complaint from a parent, high school coach or more importantly a student athlete about how he was treated by Mike. The same goes for any staff member. Mike blessed UGA!”

Mike Bobo is currently the offensive coordinator at the University of South Carolina. Before joining the Gamecocks, Bobo was the head coach at Colorado State University. Bobo helped the Rams go 28-35 during five seasons in Fort Collins, Colorado. The Rams never finished better than 7-6 during Bobo’s tenure. Bobo and Colorado State agreed to part ways following a disappointing 4-8 campaign in 2019.

Richt wasn’t the only one who defended Bobo. We’ll continue to update you as the story develops.
