The Florida Gators football team may not be going anywhere after the conclusion of the 2014 season, but coach Will Muschamp might.
Larry Brown Sports and CollegeSpun.com both posted Vine videos of Florida's 42-13 loss to Missouri in The Swamp on Saturday, in which chants of "Fire Muschamp" reverberated through the stadium. Those took place when Tigers defensive back Darvin Ruise picked off Gators quarterback Jeff Driskel and returned the interception 56 yards for a touchdown to give the visitors a 42-0 lead in the third quarter.
Florida coach Will Muschamp says key to keeping job is to win games
ESPN has a video of the interception return, in which the play-by-play announcer says, "Driskel ... you've got to be kidding me. ... Darvin Ruise ... and this is returned for a touchdown. How do you describe what is happening here in The Swamp tonight?"
The Gators fell to 3-3 on the season, and 2-3 in the SEC. Their current season comes on the heels of a 4-8 nightmarish season in 2013, in which Muschamp reportedly narrowly escaped the season with his job.

He is 25-19 in his fourth year as coach of the Gators, which had gotten used to winning NCAA championships under former coach Urban Meyer before stress took its toll on the former Gators coach and forced him to quit.

Even University of Miami graduate and NFL Hall of Famer Warren Sapp sent out a tweet expressing his shock at the turn of events at rival Florida.

Muschamp tried to explain the loss after the game.
(I'm) very disappointed in the performance. It falls on my shoulders, but looking around right now, we've got to get back and get our guys dialed back in," he said, according to Florida's athletic website. I know we all want to drop back and throw it, but there's a reason why we can't. You saw tonight. When we got in the drop-back game, we struggled tremendously to protect and to hold the edges.
"We meet tomorrow at 3 p.m., and I told them, any time you have one like this, you look in the mirror and figure out what you need to do to improve. That's what some of our guys need to do is look in the mirror. They need to play better in some situations, and that's what we're going to do."
