Looks like Muschamp is gone with a loss to Clemson.

I would not go that far. We are going to lose to Clemson. No way around that.
The questions are, how bad will we lose and what will we look like? If we have another lifeless effort as we did against A&M, then I do believe he's out. If the teams shows some life and energy and generally doesn't get embarrassed, then I think he's safe.

I honestly can’t imagine the team not trying against their rival at home. Unless they get totally overwhelmed from the beginning and just quit. I guess we’ll see.
WE SHOULD NEVER HOPE TO LOSE IN ANY SPORT. DANG PEOPLE
At least the game won’t be widely viewed on the west coast. And there’s better games here to choose from.
In a way, you have to think about the greater good. If you're caught in a bear trap, is it better that just sit there and die, or cut your foot off so you can escape and live?
Say we ball out and do the impossible and beat Clemson? It doesn't do anything to help us this season as we are already out of bowl contention. It would most certainly save Champ's job, which most would agree is not in the long-term best interest of the program. The best it would do is give us pride in keeping Clemson out of the playoffs. As much I don't want to see them in the playoffs, I'd rather do what is necessary for our long-term success.
YOU'RE NOT A GAMECOCK IF YOU WANT TO LOSE TO CLEMSON.
Does "hoping" or "pulling real hard" help our chances in some way?
Yeah.... I'm with you Jeff... I don't understand some people's logic man..... I don't want to lose at anything....EVER..
As much as this year has been a train wreck, if Muschamp can somehow beat both Clemson and Georgia, he will have at least reinforced the idea that he can put a competent game plan together-- at least defensively. So, it won't be completely laughable when he's brought back for another year.
Now, this almost certainly won't happen because the team is in shambles across all 3 phases.

It may sway some top notch recruits... Saying"man they beat Georgia and Clemson... Maybe they are not as far off as we think".... And we would be all over ESPN getting good exposure maybe as being giant killers.... I never want my team to lose. That's just something as a FAN I would never do regardless of what may or may not happen afterwards....
This is certainly a more well thought out argument than simply saying that one isn’t a Gamecock fan is we hope for a loss.
The reality is that even those who may wish for a loss have love for our university. I think a loss at any level inspires almost no hope for the program under WM while a win offers up exactly what you mention in your post.
And all an opposing coach has to tell recruits is: Hey, kid, they got pushed around by Appalachian State. At home.
This will be 6 in a row to Clemson...

Muschamp has at least one more year. At least Two if we hire the right OC. Anything less is suicide for our program. It can get worse. And I'm sure Muschamp will get the blame if we fire him at the end of the season and our recruits bail. There is not a home run hire this year so we might as well hire a top notch OC.
For the 1,000,0001st time: we cannot bring in a top notch OC this off season. Can't happen. Won't happen. Isn't gonna happen.
Geebus ... you might be reading too fast. They showed that Clemson can be beaten. I didn't say they did beat them.
21-20. No one else has come that close.
If this is true, Dabo will make sure that they win with a late FG. He won't let CWM get canned on his watch. I'm changing my earlier prediction.
Taters win 27-24, Trevor fakes an injury early in 1st quarter. They will then win the ACC Championship by 50 pts.

Give a million dollar + and multi year deal and you will be able to get some takers.
This game **should** be competitive . Guys will be back. Two weeks to prepare, etc..Also a game has the weight of the world on it from an administration perspective..Anticipating an effort somewhere between the BAMA and UGA game.
However, if we lose by 40 in WB for a sixth straight loss, he very well could get run with his sack of cash in tow.

It won't matter. This year or next year he is gone. Now the game might be close just because of emotion and adrenaline, but Dabo is not taking a dive on any game.
Exactly. We know almost with certainty that Muschamp won't be able to do what he needs to do to win back the fans and the Administration if he comes back next year. He'd have to win at least 7 games - maybe 8 to restore any good will. (no pun intended) Without Edwards, Dowdle, Feaster, Stanley and Hutchinson on offense we won't average 20 points a game next year. Defense might be better but if you can't make first downs and score it won't matter.
Recruiting is shot. Go ahead and fire him this year and be done with it.
Throw buckets of money at Matt Rhule. I mean 5 or 6 million a year if you have to. If he fails its the place.
You do realize Clemson has two weeks to prepare right? This is an off week for them too, and have you seen Clemson when they’ve had time to prepare? The results hasn’t been pretty for the other team. Unless we do something totally different the game won’t be close at all.
