Brad Lawing is the new Florida DL coach (former Gamecock DL coach)

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Gators coach Will Muschamp filled the vacancy on his coaching staff Tuesday, hiring veteran South Carolina defensive line coach Brad Lawing.

Lawing was named assistant head coach and will coach the defensive line along with current assistant Bryant Young.

Lawing spent 17 seasons with the Gamecocks over two stints and adds significant knowledge of the Southeastern Conference to Muschamp’s staff. The 55-year-old Lawing returned to South Carolina in 2006 after a three-year stint as defensive ends coach/recruiting coordinator at North Carolina (2003-05) and four seasons as defensive line coach/recruiting coordinator at Michigan State.

He previously spent 10 seasons at South Carolina from 1989-98 and has 29 years experience as a defensive line coach.

While he and Muschamp have never worked together, they do share a common bond in Alabama coach Nick Saban. Muschamp was LSU’s defensive coordinator under Saban and Lawing was on Saban’s final staff at Michigan State in 1999.

"We are excited to have Brad Lawing join our coaching staff," said Muschamp. "His track record speaks for itself -- his nearly three decades of experience coaching defensive lineman, his familiarity with the SEC and our shared philosophical beliefs make him a perfect fit for our program."

The addition of Lawing caps a busy week for Muschamp in the wake of defensive coordinator Dan Quinn’s departure Wednesday to become defensive coordinator of the Seattle Seahawks. Quinn also coached Florida's defensive line.

Muschamp promoted linebackers coach/special-teams coordinator D.J. Durkin to defensive coordinator shortly after news broke of Quinn returning to Seattle. Durkin is expected to continue to coach linebackers and Muschamp said Friday the staff is currently sharing the role of special-teams coordinator.

Lawing arrives in Gainesville after working for former Gators coach Steve Spurrier for the last seven seasons, helping the Gamecocks win their first SEC East title in 2010.

"I'm excited to have the opportunity to work with Coach Muschamp and the entire Gator coaching staff,'' Lawing said. "Coach Muschamp and I share the same philosophical beliefs defensively. I've enjoyed the many years I've had in South Carolina and I'm grateful for the opportunities Coach Spurrier provided to me."

During Lawing’s time at South Carolina the Gamecocks consistently ranked among the top defensive units in the SEC and usually featured one of the league’s most dominant defensive lines. The Gamecocks led the SEC with 40 sacks in the 2012 regular season, topped by sophomore Jadeveon Clowney’s league-leading 13 sacks.

In 2011 Lawing coached first-team All-American defensive end Melvin Ingram and added Clowney, SEC Freshman of the Year, to the mix. In 2010 South Carolina set a school record with 41 sacks with Lawing coaching the defensive line.

Lawing began his coaching career at Appalachian State and was recently named one of the SEC’s top assistant coaches by ESPN.com.

“One of the more underrated coaches in the SEC, Lawing has been doing it for a long time at a very high level,’’ ESPN.com wrote. “His defensive lines at South Carolina have been excellent the past few years and are one of the big reasons the Gamecocks have made their move into the SEC’s upper tier.”

Lawing played college football at Lenoir-Rhyne (N.C.) University and later earned a master’s degree in athletic administration from Appalachian State in 1985.

Is this good or bad

Is this good or bad

I like the hire I really wanted CWM to bring in a DL coach with a lot of experience and he certainly did that if the rumor is true

[gator1986]

Good hire

[adamgator96]

Why would he take a lateral hire in the same conference? That has to piss off SOS, right?

[gator1986]

Because Florida coaches get promotes faster than anyone else it seems...

Bad...using us as a stepping stone. Gone in two years to be a DC somewhere.

[bleedorangeblue]

What does this say about Young and how will he take this hire?

[AFCyberGator]

Good. Will Muschamp is growing his coaching tree by using a mixture of previous Gator coaches, former NFL players, former NFL assistants, and current SEC assistants. Assuming Will Muschamp plans on staying in Gainesville for a long time, it makes sense to have as many options for replacing coaches as possible. If he cannot keep a stable corps of coaches, he might as well have a lot of options to pick from.

[GATORAZ]

What does this say about Young and how will he take this hire?

I am pretty sure Young knew we were going to hire another DL coach. Quinn and Young coached DL together last year.

[UFFL]

Now we need a ST coach, correct?

[bleedorangeblue]

Heard Muschamp in his last press conference talk about the possibility of splitting up the ST coaching duties with the staff.

[GATORAZ]

Now we need a ST coach, correct?

Each coach can take on a different part of special teams

[Gatorrick22]

Why would he take a lateral hire in the same conference? That has to piss off SOS, right?

We all know that SOS is a great coach, but a move from USC to UF is not a "lateral move," IMHO it's a step up in all sports and academics as well.

[GATORAZ]

Brad Lawing made $300,000 last year so I would guess he is is going to make $450,00 plus at Florida if this hire is true

[gatormonk]

Maybe Clowney will transfer :)

[Jstewie15]

Maybe Clowney will transfer


Dream on.

[lean_gator]

Bad...using us as a stepping stone. Gone in two years to be a DC somewhere.

You have to be the WORST POSTER EVER.

In case you haven't noticed, South Carolina has had a top notch D Line and this guy is mainly responsible for it. He might not be the best recruiter, but sure can coach, and that is what we need! This is a GREAT hire. This guy knows his stuff!

[MelBeachGator]

Why would he take a lateral hire in the same conference? That has to piss off SOS, right?

LOL, South Carolina to Florida is not a lateral move. We have better tradition, recruiting base, heismans, titles....etc

[demosthenes]

If true how will the coaching responsibilities be split? I can't imagine we'd have two coaches solely focusing on the defensive line.

[GATORAZ]

If true how will the coaching responsibilities be split? I can't imagine we'd have two coaches solely focusing on the defensive line.

We did last year, Quinn and Young coached the Dline.

[LimeyGator]

All people need to know is in reading those posts over on the SC website. They read like Christmas has just been cancelled. He's obviously very, very highly thought of there...

[demosthenes]

We did last year, Quinn and Young coached the Dline.

That's a far cry different. Quinn's primary role was as DC.

[gatorbait96]

Yeah they said the only thing worse would be to lose Spurrier. Lol! Lateral move? Are they serious?

[LimeyGator]

That's a far cry different. Quinn's primary role was as DC.

Let's give Coach some credit. I hardly think he's going to appoint two DL coaches and leave it at that...! All in good time, let's see...

[UFFL]

I hope this becomes confirmed soon

[adamgator96]

LOL, South Carolina to Florida is not a lateral move. We have better tradition, recruiting base, heismans, titles....etc

If he's taking the same job, it's a lateral move. He didn't leave Vandy for goodness sakes. Not only does he have talent like Clowney, USCe has been to Atlanta more recently than us. I'm raising the point that this usually pisses off the former team, coach, fan base, etc, especially when its a move to a team in the same conference.

We'd be pissed if Young left us for the same position at Alabama, and I guarantee their fans wouldn't consider it a lateral move. They'd be wrong.

[619_Gator]

Is Durkin going to continue coaching LB's? Hmm

[baygator1]

Bad...using us as a stepping stone. Gone in two years to be a DC somewhere.

Could just as easily stay and be DC here at some point.

[MelBeachGator]

Florida is an ELITE program...South Carolina is NOT an elite program. Therefore it is NOT a lateral move.

[GATORAZ]

That's a far cry different. Quinn's primary role was as DC.
Not IMO, CWM was in charge of the secondary Dan Quinn was in charge of the front 7. Quinn was the DC but CWM has A LOT of input. Many coordinators are position coaches. Quinn was brought in because of he is known as one of the best DL coaches in all of football. He took the job because he would get the experience to call plays. I said when DJ was promoted I expect CWM to hire another DL coach for that very reason.

[GATORAZ]

Is Durkin going to continue coaching LB's? Hmm

If this hire goes through he will continue to coach LB's.

[JerseyGator01]

This IS a lateral move. Maybe Lawing can't get along with SC's new DC. It's my understanding that Spurrier has little tolerance for assistants who search in this way so this is likely true.

[northgagator]

Florida is an ELITE program...South Carolina is NOT an elite program. Therefore it is NOT a lateral move.

Let me see do I want to live in Columbia SC or Gainesville?

Do we really have to ask this question?

[apkgator]

Bad...using us as a stepping stone. Gone in two years to be a DC somewhere.

Could you take, like maybe 5 seconds and familiarize yourself with the guy and his resume before making ridiculous comments?
His resume screams lifelong position coach...and a very very good one.
Take another few seconds and read the link to the USCe board provided by Az in the original post of this thread. Very telling .

[MelBeachGator]

Lol nah bro, it really isn't. But you can think it is.

[UFFL]

According to Cockytalk, this is official now

[gator85jd]

Is this good or bad

Can he sneak Clowney down with him?

[demosthenes]

Let's give Coach some credit. I hardly think he's going to appoint two DL coaches and leave it at that...! All in good time, let's see...

That's what I was asking about. How people see responsibilities being divided.

[demosthenes]

If a certain Gamecock poster is reliable then it was personal reasons where he likely wanted a change in scenery.

[GATORAZ]

That's what I was asking about. How people see responsibilities being divided.

Young will coach DL mostly DT
Lawing will coach the DL DT/DE/BUCK
DJ will coach LB
T rob will coach secondary
CWM will coach secondary

[GatorAvatar]

Fair point. Actually, very good point.

[demosthenes]

Not IMO, CWM was in charge of the secondary Dan Quinn was in charge of the front 7. Quinn was the DC but CWM has A LOT of input. Many coordinators are position coaches. Quinn was brought in because of he is known as one of the best DL coaches in all of football. He took the job because he would get the experience to call plays. I said when DJ was promoted I expect CWM to hire another DL coach for that very reason.

Everything you've listed are situations where coaches have multiple responsibilities. Maybe the fairest way to look at this is not as the defensive line but DTs and DEs.

No need for that. I'll take your word for it...this man was born to be a position coach.

[apkgator]

No need for that. I'll take your word for it...this man was born to be a position coach.

My point was that you made a definitive style statement with seemingly no logic, research, or thought behind it. I gave my reasons why it looked like the exact opposite was true.
If you are going to take drive by shots then expect for them to be challenged.

[TheGator]

Great hire. This is not a lateral move!!!!

[Lawdog88]

Can he sneak Clowney down with him?


That's what I was thinking too.

But would he have to redshirt a year, just to get up to speed ? :laugh:

[GATORAZ]

While I hope this is the last coaching change you never know. Maybe Young leaves now or after NSD.

[JerseyGator01]

He's been in Columia on and off for 17 years with that team. Maybe he just wants a change in scenery.

[gatormann]

SC fans at Cockytalk are irate. They think he's their best recruiter and coach outside of SOS.

[G8R8U2]

Home Run hire by Muschamp. He'd been at USC for the last 7 years, and 17 or 18 in all.

Spurrier called him the best DL coach he's ever had, and he's a good recruiter to boot. He landed Lattimore.

If you read the fan reactions on their premier site, Cockytalk, you'll see it's pretty much unanimous he's the last coach on the staff, other than Spurrier himself, they wanted or thought they'd lose.

http://www.cockytalk.com/showthread.php?t=187079

2 of his former players are playing in the NFC Championship game as we speak.

[GatorSean]

Absolutely perfect hire. Grand slam. If I had known he was even an option, he would be my #1 choice. Why some Gator fans wouldn't be ecstatic about this is dumbfounding.

[WyoGator]

Anyone have insight into how this may help us with recruiting?

[G8R8U2]

Not directed at anyone in particular; but it's amazing how long a$$trolls can survive on this site.

[GATORAZ]

Anyone have insight into how this may help us with recruiting?

shouldn't have a big impact this year but maybe next year

[GatorStang]

Could just as easily stay and be DC here at some point.

That's what I'm thinking if the rumor is true.

[JefffromJax]

All people need to know is in reading those posts over on the SC website. They read like Christmas has just been cancelled. He's obviously very, very highly thought of there...

Read some of the posts; one poster criticized Lawing for 'leaving the family' for mere money. Everyone else does it, why shouldn't he.

Read some of his bio; he has been the recruiting coordinator at several of his coaching stops. Who is our current recruiting coordinator at UF ?

[gator85jd]

While I hope this is the last coaching change you never know. Maybe Young leaves now or after NSD.

Do you have any information this might happen or is this just you stirring the pot with your wishful thinking?

[GatorSean]

Who is our current recruiting coordinator at UF ?

I think it is Joker now.

[Gator4Christ]

I think it is Joker now.

Correct

[gator85jd]

Give him some recruiting responsibilities and let's start pulling recruits from SC.

http://southcarolina.247sports.com/Article/Florida-will-hire-South-Carolina-assistant-Brad-Lawing-112347


Lawing headed to Florida


According to reliable sources, South Carolina defensive line coach Brad Lawing will accept a position at Florida under Will Muschamp on the defensive staff for the Gators.

Lawing flew to Gainesville, Fla., to meet with Muschamp and company and sources at both programs said the "deal is done".

Lawing is one of the longest-tenured assistants in modern Gamecock history. He worked at South Carolina from 1989-98 under head coaches Sparky Woods and Brad Scott before returning to Columbia in 2006 under current head coach Steve Spurrier.

While with the Gamecocks under Spurrier, Lawing was responsible for coaching Cliff Matthews (Atlanta Falcons), Melvin Ingram (first round draft pick, San Diego Chargers) and current All-American Jadeveon Clowney among others.

There is a connection with Lawing and Mushcamp- both have served under current Alabama head coach Nick Saban in various capacities. Lawing was at Michigan State under Saban while Muschamp coached with Saban at LSU.

There has not been an offseason since Spurrier has been at South Carolina without at least one assistant coaching change.

[JefffromJax]

Young will coach DL mostly DT
Lawing will coach the DL DT/DE/BUCK
DJ will coach LB
T rob will coach secondary
CWM will coach secondary

If Young is coaching DTs; why would Lawing coach them as well ?

In your understanding, who will coach ST ?

[gatordee]

I like the hire. When it comes to defensive coaches and assistants, I trust CWM's opinion and decisions %100. No way he would even consider a hire unless he was not absolutely sure it is a good one.

[GATORAZ]

If Young is coaching DTs; why would Lawing coach them as well ?

In your understanding, who will coach ST ?

Young would be the primary DT coach but I would think Lawing would help out as well the man has been coaching DL for over 20 years. Where Young has been coaching for 3 even though he is a hall of famer.

The staff will probably share responsibilities in ST. We will have to wait and see if Young actually stays.

[GatorAvatar]

Do you have any information this might happen or is this just you stirring the pot with your wishful thinking?

It's his opinion.

[Tebowism0823]

It's his opinion.

Some opinions should be kept to themselves.

[rserina]

Everything you've listed are situations where coaches have multiple responsibilities. Maybe the fairest way to look at this is not as the defensive line but DTs and DEs.
That very well may be the case. That's how Strong got started at Florida under Spurrier. Uncommon, but not unprecedented.

The other way to think of it is as if were going 3-4. One guy technically does "line" (three down) and another guy does Buck and Sam as outside linebackers.

[rserina]

The staff will probably share responsibilities in ST.
Muschamp mentioned this as a possibility the other day. It is a terrible idea in the NFL because of the game prep responsibilities coaches face, so you never see it. At the collegiate level, it isn't so terrible since you have a lot of carryover in terms of personnel. Line coaches can do a good job on kick and kick block. Receiver, running back, or secondary coaches can handle punt and kick returns, linebacker or secondary coaches punt and kick coverage. White, Phillips, and Davis are very experienced offensive coaches who you could trust with different phases of special teams.

[Danielmaddie]

What does this say about Young and how will he take this hire?

Young coaches DT and Lawing will coach DE

[phideltdj]

You can never have too many coaches even if they overlap. Bama has an analyst coach for every player on the team...even the one's they have to pull scholarships from for the next recruiting class.

[The_Graygator]

Is this good or bad



Neither... it's an excellent hire. Lawing is also a top-notch recruiter as well.

[gatorfan4lfe]

I personally think this is a great hire. He should do a excellent job.

[gatorev12]

Neither... it's an excellent hire. Lawing is also a top-notch recruiter as well.

Agreed...Muschamp got a great coach here--South Carolina's DL has been a force in the league for some time now.

[619_Gator]

SC fans are saying this is the 2nd best coach on their staff after SOS. They are melting down on their boards over this. It's an excellent hire.

[Gatorrick22]

Some opinions should be kept to themselves.

Especially this kind. The Mods already warned us about that sort of crap. The truth is no one knows which coach has which coaching responsibility except for Muschamp.

[atlantagator86]

Young would be the primary DT coach but I would think Lawing would help out as well the man has been coaching DL for over 20 years. Where Young has been coaching for 3 even though he is a hall of famer.

The staff will probably share responsibilities in ST. We will have to wait and see if Young actually stays.

Reading between the lines here, I assume that what you are saying is that Muschamp believes there's a decent chance Young might not be on the staff long and that Lawing's hire might be more insurance in the event that happens.

[Swampmaster]

Bad...using us as a stepping stone. Gone in two years to be a DC somewhere.

The goal of every asst coach is to move up to a coordinator or head coach slot, ASAP. It's the nature of the business.

[GATORAZ]

Reading between the lines here, I assume that what you are saying is that Muschamp believes there's a decent chance Young might not be on the staff long and that Lawing's hire might be more insurance in the event that happens.

I dont know what CWM believes just was speculating. Coach Young is on the staff because he had a prior relationship with Qunn. As of right now we don't know if Quinn would like to bring Young with him as a assistant DL coach to Seattle (dont see him being the head DL coach in the NFL yet I could be wrong). Hopefully coach Young will stay. Even with Young staying he is still very new to the coaching profession and you would like him to work with a veteran coach just like in any profession. If Young were to leave Lawing could coach the DL by himself and we could bring in a ST coach.

[Tebowism0823]

Especially this kind. The Mods already warned us about that sort of crap. The truth is no one knows which coach has which coaching responsibility except for Muschamp.

Yeah I just don't like it when one says something that's bound to stir the pot without any shred of evidence.

[Jaggator]

Why would he take a lateral hire in the same conference? That has to piss off SOS, right?

LMAO!

"Our DL Coach, Brad Lawing, is running away to Florida. He's afraid that coaching Jadeveon Clowney will make him an accessory to murder."

[Spleezy]

UF has had a few down years the last 15 years while South Carolina has had a few good years. While they have gotten better of late they haven't even achieved what UF did in the 90's yet, let alone what we accomplished on the 00's.......this is not a lateral move UF is a much better program.

Lateral move? No way. In the last 20 years or so, the Gators have the best winning percentage in college football, eight SEC championships, four trips to the national championship game, and three national championships. Over the same period, USCe is way down the list of winning percentage, has no SEC tiles and has never played for the national title.

[theologator]

http://southcarolina.rivals.com/showmsg.asp?fid=1825&tid=184080389&mid=184080389&sid=1017&style=2

Note the flow of comments. Message board dynamics are fairly consistent.

I was interested to see the conversation turn to UF. For example, Urban's tenure "was like crack cocaine" and "Was it worth it?" That is hilarious. Sure - much better to he mired in mediocrity. How noble. Has SC ever been in a BCS bowl game? (Some of their folks posted very fair assessments.)

I guess home is home, but I wouldn't pick many places ahead of Gainesville to live. Columbia may be a nice place - state capital plus a major university, close to the Smoky Mountains, etc. But do they not realize IT'S IN FREAKING SOUTH CAROLINA - ONE OF THE MOST PAROCHIAL, BACKWARD, INBRED CESSPOOLS IN THE COUNTRY?

Hell no, I ain't fergittin' either.

[Bazza]

---snip---ONE OF THE MOST PAROCHIAL, BACKWARD, INBRED CESSPOOLS IN THE COUNTRY?

I dunno - we have our share of trailer trash, backward inbreds, and cesspools too! :cry:

[SkyChimp]

Bad...using us as a stepping stone. Gone in two years to be a DC somewhere.

He won't be able to go elsewhere if he doesn't contribute to our wins. With that said, I think its a good hire because it will give us strength in the DL which we need to uphold.

[UGator]

Leaving SCe for personal reasons is no big deal. He is an outstanding coach for the DL's or DE's, take your pick. I do hope Young stays for the DL though, as few can match his NFL credentials.....period!

Coaching Clowney at SC would look good on anyone's resume but he can flat out recruit and might sway some talent to us in the last couple of weeks before NSD. Being a career position coach ain't bad either as a 300K salary or so would interest many medical or legal professionals out there.

Best of luck to him on his move here and hope SOS is not too pissed......however who really cares.

[the_yancey]

He has my best wishes. Brad has been a very good coach for us. He brings less to the recruiting table. It is telling that SOS did not offer any inducements to get Brad to stay. Most insiders in Columbia think that we can upgrade that position.

[theologator]

I dunno - we have our share of trailer trash, backward inbreds, and cesspools too! :cry:

Every state has its sad and great places, but there isn't any comparison overall. Not even close. I'm biased but I think it's actually true, all things considered. SOS has done more than I expected. It's like winning big at Ole Miss.

Reading cockytalk it looks like most knowledgeable posters think there are only 1 or 2 coaches in the country that would be equal or an upgrade. Perhaps this is a case of the ex not looking so hot after she dumps you?

Most of the Cocky Talk posters are not exactly in a position of knowledge. It is much the same on every board at every school. CT is much better than other Gamecock boards however. Try to sift the chaff and get info from more mature posters. FWIW, I am told that Lawing's text and phone behavior is what caused Carlos Dunlap to switch to UF. I am hoping that a fresh start away from personal distractions will be good for Brad though.

On another topic I am at Shands every couple of months. It has been fun finding new places to eat, particularly those with discounts through sites like Groupon and Gator Daily Deals. Y'all got any suggestions for my next trip up?

Fair enough, I just tried to weed through all of the posters whose only response was of hatred for Florida or Muschamp, then whittled down from there lol. To me it seems we are getting a great coach and a recruiter whose better days are behind him. That's fine with me, he is replacing Dan Quinn's spot and he wasn't much of a recruiter from what I hear. We need some solid coaching, as we appear to be fine on the recruiting side.

By the way, being a Gamecock, I hope you stick around. I like the Gamecock fan base as a whole (married to one and all of my in laws are gamecocks and i live in Greenville) and we don't have enough of them on this board. I enjoy rival posters, it's hard to get perspective on your team from fellow fans. Just don't bring over any of those Clemson fans, please.

So glad you came to our message board with your "position of knowledge" to tell us that you got rid of that terrible coach so that you can "upgrade", while 99% of the rest of the Gamecock fans on Cocky Talk disagree with you.

[GATORAZ]

I do not care about Lawings recruiting. It is not like Dan Quinn was some ace recruiter. We needed to bring in someone who could evaluate talent that was a great teacher and that what Lawing is. Florida has enough ace recruiters with Durkin Muschamp White Phillips & Robinson on staff.

[gatorich]

If he can help recruit talent like Clowney, I'll have one of whatever he is having.

Actually I've got friends in Greenville (actually Simpsonville), Greenwood, Aiken, Clemson, Columbia, Charleston, Buford & my brother used to live on James Island. I've been all over SC. I'm not saying it doesn't have it's charms, but on the whole it is a backwater and very parochial state in comparison to Florida. Every place is what you make of it and I'm glad your happy there. I currently live and work in a low income city in north central Florida so I'm not speaking from an ivory tower by any means.

Of course, on the weirdness scale Florida is WAY out there. ;-)

As I have said many times, there is more to punting that meets the eye, the same can be said of coaching Special Teams. The Gators have a history of excelling at ST because of the focus they give to ST... As you might guess, I don't want to lose any of that focus. While I'm not going to second guess Coach Muschamp on anything, I only hope ST remains a prioity for/with the team.

Two NC commits (one DE, one DT) are from the same Jersey HS that Damiere Byrd (SC WR) attended and were actively pursued by Spurrier's staff. Recruiting will get real interesting in the next few weeks. The Evil Genius seems to always have a plan B.

This happens everywhere. SC thought they had escaped turnover for the first year in quite some time until we hired their DLC.

[gator85jd]

They've had a great D for most of Spurrier's time there. I always credited that to Ellis Johnson, but he left for USM year before last -- USC's D didn't miss a beat. In 2010, USC’s defense set a school record with 41 sacks. Last season the Cocks were 6th in the nation in sacks with 43. In 2011, DL Melvin Ingram went in the first round.

I tend to think of it as a gaining an actual WR coach and DJ getting a little more responsibility. The one big change is the new DL coach. I don't think the staff is in disarray.

[ametcalf]

I think they'll gel just fine. I don't see the D going down hill because I don't see Muschamp letting that happen.

In addition, I see the team pulling together real close. This is going to be special group of young men that we have...and that we have coming in....I truly believe that.

I wonder why.... Lol just playin'.... I hear ya. Don't worry, your boy will be in the top 3 fpunters next year. (In the country) he's a stud. Actually, stud is an understatement. He was our MVP in a few big games last year. And I thought Chaz was awesome.

Then again, he may not punt as much, due to our offense getting better. (Hopefully)

Either way, I wish him luck and can't wait to see his bombs with ridiculous rotation.

I sure hope so. There still seems to be a vein of egoism among some, especially from that 2010 class. Every time Easley makes a decent play he poses like he's Ray Lewis or something. Yet he really doesn't consistently make plays. In the two losses, the team seemed to have substituted smack talk for actual preparation and focus.

[tilly]

Why would he take a lateral hire in the same conference? That has to piss off SOS, right?

I think we have reached a point where we are not lateral with a program that has zero SEC titles and zero National Championships.

[Swampmaster]

spurrier's getting old and tired of going to minor bowls. maybe lawing thinks steve will hang it up in a year or two.

[adamgator96]

I think we have reached a point where we are not lateral with a program that has zero SEC titles and zero National Championships.

I agree that as Gators, we don't see this as a lateral move. However, my point is that Lawing wouldn't have come here for the same title/job, and that SOS would have seen it as a lateral move. He was just named AHC, however, so it helps Spurrier save some face with his own crowd.

Coaching is a very incestuous job market not all that different from television production. The production assistant you hire or fire today may be your executive producer down the road. So, it makes good sense to follow a certain etiquette and play nice as much as possible. Leaving Spurrier for a perceived lateral move (DL to DL) would have ruffled feathers. (See what I did there?):joecool:

Lawing's main job has been to coach up his players to get 3 and outs so SOS could get his offense back on the field. He is now going to be coaching our players to beat SOS head-to-head. Better that he left USCe for a bump in title and responsibility rather than just what would be seen by SOS and USCe as a lateral move.

The last time somebody pissed off Spurrier, he hung half a hundred on him 'tween the hedges. I was there, and it was glorious.

Go Gators!

[UGator]

As long as Young is happy, it is a good hire. Young seems to impress the DL recruits with his NFL experience and ability to help guys get to the league. After all, he has a SB Ring, a few Pro Bowls, and was the strongest in the NFL for quite a while.

Hopefully, they will both blend and it is only good as we move forward.

[GATORAZ]

I dont know why people are arguing it is a lateral move but people make them for many reasons including personal and more money.

[Gatorrick22]

I have to agree with this. Our team has the right combination of experience and great young talent to compete with anyone in the country.

[theologator]

Easley played one of his best games vs Louisville. Those loses have nothing to do with smack talk, they do it every game stop trying to blame it on that.

They do some of it every game, but I noticed more in the Louisville and UGA games. I'm not blaming it on that entirely but I see it as symptomatic of a lack of real focus and preparation, along with buckets of dumb penalties, missed tackles, turnovers that sort of thing. Being jacked the way they were for UGA vs. the way they were for LSU or FSU - there is a difference that is noticeable right away.

It may be that I notice it more when things are going wrong.

Easley did play his best game of the year vs. Louisville with a season high 4 tackles, 3.5 for losses. How many other games was he a serious factor?

Four DL including two freshmen had more tackles than Easley. Who had a whopping 2 per game (though he did lead the team in sacks with 4.)

I'd like to see him be the dominant player he can be. He's young. I expect he will.

[theologator]

Does this mean in the chain of command that Lawing has the final say offensively and defensively if Muschamp ever had to take a leave of absence for whatever reason?

My guess is it means he will handle some administrative responsibilities and gives them a basis for paying him a bit more. I don't think it means he is over Durkin or anyone else.

[G8tr69]

They are replacing him with Deke Adams from NC Tarheels.

This was out on the garnetandblack website.

Rumors began popping up on message boards that the decision may have been made, in part, due to some marital strife in the Lawing household, and - though he didn't get into specifics - defensive coordinator Lorenzo Ward confirmed on Monday that Lawing and his family "felt like they needed a new start" and that the situation had become about "a little bit more than football."

2 Things in Easley's defense:
1) He's working back from injury
2) He's not at a position on the DL that racks up counting stats.

[sflagator]

Odd that he'd leave that D Line behind at SC - they would have made him look like a coaching genius next year.

Strange circumstances, but happy to have him

[GatorChamp96]

I'm 99% sure the reason Lawing left was due to "personal reasons" It had nothing do with Florida being a better program then SC or whatever.. He loved working with Steve Spurrier and loved South Carolina, but due to some issues he felt that he had to get away and do something else..

This is a guy that all together coached about 15 years at South Carolina.

He will be a good addition to the staff, just like Adams is a good edition to SC staff. Hell he doesn't have to do much with Clowney leading that line.

As far as Spurrier hanging it up soon.. You can forget about that, because he loves the job.. I give him 4 or 5 more years at SC.

I think people just notice it more when we are losing. They talked a ton of crap in the FSU game.

I dont think sack or tackles really tell the whole story of DL play. That being said Easley was coming off knee surgery and he struggled with it all year. The Louisville game was probably his first healthy full recovered game he played.

[UFFL]

It makes me nervous about Ronald Powell. He could potentially destroy QBs next year, but who knows how healthy he'll be. He'll have had over a year to recover though, which is obviously very good

[thedyc09]

I love watching our players jawing back and forth with opponents, because usually we're lighting them up (rewatch the FSU game - Matt Elam's jaw never stopped flapping). Is it annoying when we're getting curb-stomped and they're still doing it? Yeah, but this is a game and smack talk just adds to the fun.

As for Lawing, all signs point to him being an excellent coach, and while he doesn't do a lot of legwork in recruiting in recent years, I believe they used him as a "closer" on big DL recruits. Huge pickup for Champ.

[GatorLaw]

If he's taking the same job, it's a lateral move. He didn't leave Vandy for goodness sakes. Not only does he have talent like Clowney, USCe has been to Atlanta more recently than us. I'm raising the point that this usually pisses off the former team, coach, fan base, etc, especially when its a move to a team in the same conference.

We'd be pissed if Young left us for the same position at Alabama, and I guarantee their fans wouldn't consider it a lateral move. They'd be wrong.

Why would we care about SOS or anyone else at USC being pissed about this move? I like pissing off other teams and their coaches, it usually means we've just stuck it to 'em.

You didn't understand the post. I was merely saying that it would be perceived as a lateral move by Coach Lawing's former employer if he came here for the same job. In the business of coaching, that will burn some bridges and it surprised me.

Since my original post, Coach Lawing has been named the AHC, so there is no "lateral move" issue. I've read that he wouldn't have left for the same job/title, which makes sense to me.

Go Gators!
