Surely, no South Carolina fan believes he or she could step into Will Muschamp’s headset on a Saturday afternoon in Williams-Brice Stadium and steer the Gamecocks through a college football game without disaster ensuing. Just like no reasonable person thinks they could take Frank Martin’s or Dawn Staley’s place on the sideline and orchestrate all the moving parts of a college basketball game with no being the wiser.
But, deep in the hearts of many Gamecocks baseball fans certainly lurks the idea that they could step into the dugout and guide South Carolina through nine innings at least as well as the guy who’s doing it now, and that’s a problem for Chad Holbrook.
