Several members of South Carolina’s football coaching staff, including head coach Will Muschamp, will be rewarded Tuesday for their work in the Gamecocks’ 2018 season.

Muschamp’s contract, along with those of Gamecocks offensive coordinator Bryan McClendon, defensive coordinator Travaris Robinson and quarterbacks coach Dan Werner, will be discussed Tuesday by the executive and governance committee of the USC Board of Trustees. Muschamp, whose contract currently runs through 2023, is expected to receive an extension. He was paid $4.2 million in 2018 and already is slated to receive annual raises of $200,000 through the 2023 season.

South Carolina finished 7-5 in Muschamp’s third season, and athletics director Ray Tanner indicated to The State after the final game of the regular season that Muschamp might be rewarded for another above .500 season.


“I don’t want to be in a situation where I worry about him leaving. I’ll just leave it at that,” Tanner said then. “I really respect and admire the way that coach Muschamp runs his program. We are doing very well in football.”

" We are doing very well in football.”

Content with mediocre, that’s the 5akkerliner we all know. Don’t worry boys, I’m sure you’ll beat Clemson in the next 20 years with that mindset. $4.2 million/yr with guaranteed increases of $200k/yr to be mediocre, who negotiated that deal, Obama or Kerry?

Ray Tanner is the best thing that's happened to Clemson football in a long, long time.

Already under contract through 2023 but going to give him an extension? May be Par for the course but makes no sense to me. If you want to give him a raise, so be it but don’t extend it.

When muschamp was hired, i asked the inlaws why they would hire a 6-6 coach. Play that marshall game instead of akron and thats what usc would be. I want usc to be successful, i really do. But their last 3 coaches have included 2 has beens and now a never was. I just dont understand it. Are gamecock fans really happy with a mediocre season and a belk bowl appearance?

This. Clearly he isn't on anyone's short list.

The only other argument I can see is that players and assistant coaches don't want to go to a program where the guy is on a year to year contract. But 2023 is more than enough to cover that.

Early Christmas gift! Thanks Ray.....

Rewarding mediocrity...

You'll have this when you have a baseball coach playing AD....all he is doing is negotiating AGAINST himself and/or his future position....

[Saltydog235]

Bet Swinney Jr is happy as hell about this move.

Need to revise my 10 in a row prediction, it may be longer.

you're delusional if you think South Carolina would be 6-6 had they played marshall. The same team that torched Clemson's elite defense?

[tman]

You mad bro?

[jwterry3]

Y’all are some dumb m fers.

You extend him so he is guaranteed to be there when the class of 2019 graduates in 4 yrs... this giving him credibility with recruits.

I swear some of y’all act like my 8 yr old daughter

[FEETDOWN]

You mad bro?

Oh he big mad.....

[Air Raid]

You have to extend guys nowadays because holier than thou guys like Daybo go in and tell recruits that they won't be there when they graduate.

[Bigtimber2]

Yeah recruits do not see buyouts happen every year. Who is going to swoop in and steal Muschamp?

[Saltydog235]

Hell yeah, this coach’ll be there when you graduate to assure you played for a shitty team. Awesome strategy.

If you mouth breathers would look at his work history, you'd clearly see that he has never wanted for a job in the SEC or for that matter the NFL. Better be worrying about the Catholics.

Clemson fans are as happy as can be with him, hell IPTAY may contribute to his raise next year just to keep him around. Stellar hire IMO.
