Your friend may be onto more than some may acknowledge. His wife (Jerri)is sick of all the character assassination, hate mail, and in general, the trials of being married to the most hated man South of the Mason-Dixon line.

Apparently he's come to the conclusion, that he will never take South Carolina to the top of the football food chain. With a resurgent Clemson program that has always been the man in the streets team over there, he knows his window has closed.

Quality depth will always be a problem for South Carolina, unless Georgia and Clemson are on probation simultaneously. Like Paul Dietzel, Jim Carlen, Joe Morrison, and Lou Holtz all found out, there is a ceiling in Columbia. SOS apparently has come to the same conclusion. Without the advantage of oversigning, due to new academic restrictions in 2014, he knows his ticket is punched.

And as if it were a surprise, Steve has gotten under the skin of too many big dollar money boys over there. His comments about Clemson wishing Lattimore well and a speedy recovery, were the last straw for a number of them. Combined with his prick of an attitude on the Gamecock Club circuit, too many boosters are over him. Plus they figure if Urban Meyer was able to replicate SOS's success at UF, then another more tolerable fellow can build on the foundation SOS laid.

My source, in addition to having been an All-American basketball player for South Carolina during the Frank McGuire era, is a regular guest, though not a member at Augusta National.
