WILL MUSCHAMP’S STAFF SHAPING UP NICELY
With the 2015 National Football League season officially over, the University of South Carolina football team has formally announced the hiring of Kurt Roper as its co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.
Roper’s hiring – widely-reported in recent weeks – is the latest high-profile addition to the staff of new Gamecock head coach Will Muschamp, who is hoping to return South Carolina to prominence in the powerful Southeastern Conference.
The 43-year-old Iowa native spent the 2015 season with the Cleveland Browns as an offensive assistant. Prior to that he spent one year as Muschamp’s offensive coordinator at Florida.
An understudy of Duke head coach David Cutcliffe, Roper coached Eli Manning at Ole Miss during Cutcliffe’s tenure there – and spent six seasons with Cutcliffe at Duke. In 2013, the Blue Devils won a school-record 10 games en route to capturing the ACC’s coastal division championship.
Roper will run the Gamecock offense alongside Bryan McClendon – who was assistant head coach and coordinator of the passing game at Georgia last year. McClendon coached the Bulldogs to a 24-17 bowl victory over Penn State in the absence of former head coach Mark Richt – who was fired (and subsequently took over as head coach in Miami).
McClendon and defensive line coach Lance Thompson – whose hiring was announced last week – are nationally regarded recruiters, an area in which South Carolina has struggled in recent years.

I thought Muschamp had learned his lesson.
I thought you weren’t a troll. Guess not!
But you are.
Yes, everyone already knows you are.
Your mom knows.
I totally support my ex-wife who has a campaign against internet trolls. It has become ridiculous. Nowadays she says she can’t even so much as build a bridge in FarmVille without her goats getting eaten.
+10
I’m not in any hurry to cure my fear of Trolls, but I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it.

Is a Kawaski the opposite of a geisha girl?

I don’t know if that’s something I’d put on my resume, “unemployed” may just look better.
like bragging to be a D2 basketball player?
Beats sitting in the stands. Not to mention I graduated owing exactly $0.00 in student loans.
No you didn’t
Yeah huh…
name me 1 d-2 school that would give a “full ride” to a basketball player? there are none. 25% max.
I paid my full tuition in advance to get a 25% discount…..
If I had done that I would have saved $0.00.
When Dabo was hired, he was a leasing agent for malls and shopping center space.
I like the decommits he’s already getting.
Just get some more juco transfers! They always work!
