Yep... The worst season ever
I know we 0-21. I know we lost to Navy when we were ranked #2 in the country. This has been a gut wrenching, heart breaking, nose bleeding, season.
There is nothing like watching a championship slip through your fingers. There is nothing like watching your team lose to Vandy. There is nothing like watching your team get rolled up for 48 and 51 points in consecutive weeks.
There is nothing like watching Darren McFadden run for more yards than any other sec running back in history, then watch a poor Tennesse team hold him to just over a hundred.
There is nothing like watching Tim Tebow do the same thing over and over and still gain yards. I mean, is it just me? Am I a genius? I called every play Florida ran before they ran it. How is that I can see it and Coach Nix can't?
Sad. I have never been more disheartened as a Gamecock fan.
This is not about the players. We have the players on both sides the ball. The way this team feel apart this season is on the coaches. Coach Nix especially.
And it's not over. We still have to play those troglodytes from the upstate and I do not have faith in this coaching staff to bring home a victory. In two weeks we will be forced to watch another 63-17. Mark my words.
Now before your cry baby, touchy feely, whiny heart fans out there call for my head, I am a Gamecock. I will always be a Gamecock. That does not mean, I am not allowed to be pissed off. I will always support the players. Always. The coaches are a different animal. If Coach Spurrier does not fire Coach Nix, this season will fall squarely on his shoulders and even though he is a great coach, it might be time for us to look somewhere else. You heard me.

I know I bag about your blog, but I actually have a serious question for you: Do you believe that hiring aging, once great coaches like Spurrier and Holtz to rebuild a struggling team is the answer? Many Cock fans believe this is the right course of action but it obviously has not shown results yet and correct me if I'm wrong, but you don't seem entirely behind Spurrier just yet. Why not try something different? For example, when Saban took over LSU, he was a young, upbeat, and passionate coach who could recruit exceptionally well, which worked out great since Louisiana has so much football talent living inside of it. Saban's defenses were great and his offenses were effective, so long as he had the right talent for both, which he didn't have at Michigan State. After recruiting so well in a talent rich region, his career took off as now he could apply his schemes effectively. Don't get me wrong, I can't stand Saban; he's a money-grubbing liar who snubbed both LSU and the Dolphins and will eventually snub Bama, especially if the LSU job opens up for some unknown reason (where he wanted to go in the first place). However, he's an excellent example for what a team like South Carolina needs: a fresh face with new ideas who can appeal to recruits. LSU was not much better than South Carolina when Saban took over, but they exploded after a year or two under his guidance. What are your thoughts?
