Auburn defensive coordinator Will Muschamp will officially interview for the vacant South Carolina head coaching position sometime in the next 24 hours (tonight or Friday), according to multiple sources familiar with the situation.

Muschamp, the former head coach at Florida, has been in contact with representatives of USC about the Gamecocks' vacant head coaching position, but to this point has not officially interviewed for the job. That is set to change with the exact meeting time to be determined, pending logistics.

South Carolina athletics director Ray Tanner interviewed Gamecocks interim head coach Shawn Elliott on Wednesday and is set to speak with Oklahoma offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley today.

South Carolina is looking for a replacement for Steve Spurrier, the school's all-time wins leader. Spurrier resigned in October after a 2-4 start to the 2015 and was replaced by Elliott.

Multiple contacts indicate South Carolina could have a new coach in place by the weekend.
