I agree that there is no chance of hiring a new coach until the end of the season. And I think firing Muschamp and having him continue to coach would be a mistake. The question is whether it's better for him to continue as an obvious lame duck or for an interim to take over. I just think how demoralized the team must be, not to mention the fans.the appointment of an interim might spark a little enthusiasm.
