Will Muschamp: 2

Muschamp is by no means untouchable at South Carolina, but after just one season, he has a longer leash than almost every coach in the SEC outside of Tuscaloosa.

After a 2-4 start to last season, the Gamecocks rallied to go 6-7 last season. They won four of their final six regular season games, including an upset win over Tennessee.

Muschamp’s persona just seems to fit better at South Carolina than it did at Florida, and he certainly won’t be under as much immediate pressure as he was in Gainesville.
