To coach his team this week, Will Muschamp will have to miss a big moment as a dad

Last season, South Carolina football coach Will Muschamp was fortunate to not have to make the choice between the job of being a college football coach and being a dad.

This year, he’ll have to miss a big moment for his son Jackson, as many coaches do while they guide other parents’ kids.

Jackson Muschamp will quarterback Hammond in the SCISA Class 3A state title game Saturday night. He was on a title winning team last year, but playing safety rather than quarterback. His dad made it for at least part of the game, slipping out of the postgame of a Gamecocks win against Wofford.
