March 31, 200818 yr http://www.thestate.com/breaking/story/361362.html SC gets an up and comer, but SC is a tough job.
March 31, 200818 yr Was Horn getting heat in Bowling Green about lack of post season success before the big run this year?

March 31, 200818 yr Congrats to Coach Horn If this is true. Hard to turn down the money. Personally I think its a mistake. South Carolina is a death bed for coaches. The last three coaches have ended their careers there: Newton, Fogler, and now Oldham. They all had minimal success before being run off.

It will be very difficult for him to have success when he has to go head-to-head with Kentucky, Florida, Tennessee and Vandy. They don't have a lot of fan support either. I guess he can't do much worse than Odom.
March 31, 200818 yr I hope it pays VERY well. This move is probably a mistake for a young coach. I have to agree with everyone else. SC is doom to a coach's career usually. Not very likely that he will get the Gamecocks to the level they want with who he has to go through in the East, not to mention the Western Division.
March 31, 200818 yr The SEC coaching fraternity has a pronounced Kentucky flavor. Besides Horn who was born in Glasgow, played high school ball in Lexington and played college ball at WKU , you have Gottfried at Alabama (Murray coach); Felton at Gerogia (coach at WKU); Stansbury at Mississippi State (native of Kentucky); Pelphrey (native Kentuckian and former UK player); and Donovan at Florida (assistant at UK) . Counting Gillispie, that's seven of the 12 coaches with some tie-in to the Bluegrass state.

It was reported that his base went from $150,000 to $750,000.:scared:
March 31, 200818 yr I am glad to see Coach Horn get this job. If he is given time he will be able to succeed at Carolina.
