The four kinds of players Will Muschamp thinks are stuck at home
South Carolina football coach Will Muschamp thinks most every college team is working from the same spot.
But not all players are in the same spots.
In an interview alongside former teammate and Georgia coach Kriby Smart on CBS Sports Network, Muschamp explained part of the reason he expects his team to need at least eight weeks of lead-up to playing any games is a range of enthusiasms for working out at home.
“We’ve probably got a percentage of guys that are working hard and probably working too much,” Muschamp said. “And then we have some guys that are probably doing about what you’d want them to do, some that aren’t quite doing that, and a small percentage that probably aren’t doing a lot of anything.”
He’s said in the past only 30 percent of his players have access to weights.
Smart joked about how in their playing days at Georgia, their strength coach believed in a more old-school manner of training. That meant leaving a shiny weight room untouched and a range of workouts in the outdoors.
These days, Muschamp is only working out with groups of two or four, and he’s even training one of Smart’s future players, walk-on quarterback Jackson Muschamp.
“Two days a week, we go in and we throw with coach (Mike) Bobo, his sons Jake and Drew,” Will Muschamp said. “Jackson and Whit and I, we all work out two days a week and then we work out here two days a week.”
