Former Florida coach Will Muschamp will get a second chance in the Southeastern Conference after agreeing to take over South Carolina's football program.

A person with direct knowledge of the decision said Muschamp will be the Gamecocks next coach and hopefully bring some stability to a program after Steve Spurrier resigned in midseason.

The person said Muschamp could be introduced as early as Monday. The person spoke to The Associated Press Sunday on condition of anonymity because the deal had not been finalized and the hire has not been announced.

The 44-year-old Muschamp spent this past season as Auburn's defensive coordinator after being fired as coach of the Gators.
