“I like Will personally.”

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) – The coaching profession is a small world…especially once you get to the top ranks.

Mark Stoops and Will Muschamp are not strangers to one another.

The one-time EKU assistant coach and Florida head man now in charge at South Carolina is in his second season in Columbia.

The Gamecocks lost in Lexington in 2016.

Hear from Stoops in the video.
