Riley Out at South Carolina as They Are Set to Hire Muschamp

The coaching carousel is almost complete and the Sooners appear to have dodged the South Carolina bullet as Sports Illustrated is reporting that Will Muschamp is expected to be the next coach for the Gamecocks. Lincoln Riley rumors had been swirling, but it was always tough to truly gauge South Carolina's interest, although I don't blame them for recognizing Riley's immense talent.

Along with Riley, Rich Rodriguez, Willie Taggart, Sonny Dykes, Tom Herman and seemingly every other coach were at one point or another connected to the coaching vacancy, but Muschamp's name kept rising to the top.
