According to various reports including Sports Illustrated’s Andy Staples, the hammer’s come down in Gainesville on the heels of Saturday’s loss to South Carolina after the Gators had a field goal and punt blocked in the fourth quarter nursing a 7-point lead.
“Very disappointed to lose that football game,” Muschamp said. “Our guys fought and played hard and put ourselves in position to get it done … and didn’t get it done.”

Muschamp’s future has been uncertain throughout the season, but took a turn in the right direction after a win over Georgia on Nov. 1. That ended Saturday when the Gamecocks recorded an improbable overtime victory to snap the Gators’ two-game winning streak.
