The problem with being on the hot seat in the football coaching profession is that a lot can be said or written in a week's time before a coach has a chance to silence critics.
When a bye week is involved, the pain is double.
Fire Will Muschamp chants resume after blowout loss in the Swamp
Florida's Will Muschamp is feeling such pressure this week as he tries to get through a Gators off-week after their 42-13 thrashing at the Swamp at the hands of the Missouri Tigers. Florida gets back in action next week with a fun little trip to Georgia.
With some time to kill between games, a Florida Gators football fan took it upon himself (or herself) to take out an ad on Craigslist, CBSSports.com reported.
Will Muschamp gets reprieve, says Florida can win the SEC in 2014
The heading is titled, "Head Football Coach Desired (University of Florida)" and goes on to describe what the position entails.
Among the qualifications desired are previous head coaching experience, a commitment of more than four seasons, the ability to refrain from screaming at players and referees and not taking personal shots at opposing teams' fan bases on live television after narrowly escaping with a win in a game the Gators should have lost.
Muschamp's Gators are 3-3 this season and 2-3 in the SEC. When he was retained after last season's abysmal 4-8 season, he said he felt confident he had a team that could win the conference. That is not going to happen.
Muschamp has a 25-19 record in 3 ½ seasons, but his best seasons seem to be behind him.
The Craigslist ad also wants a coach that doesn't use the same excuses for losses in each successive postgame news conference, can't be a University of Georgia graduate and can't have the last name of "Zook."
The ad seems to have a certain candidate in mind.
"If your last name is Spurrier, you can skip the interview process this time. Seriously. We're sorry. Very sorry. The job is yours. We'll help you pack. Name your price. Please come back."
As difficult as it may be for the Gators to travel to Georgia, game week can't come fast enough for Muschamp.
