Muschamp setting the recent record for failure.

Eventis sultorum magister.
Ron Zook never lost four in a row at Florida. Zook never even lost three consecutive games, and lost back-to-back contests only twice.
Urban Meyer never lost four in a row at Florida.
He had a three-game losing streak at Florida once. He quit at the end of that season.
The Gators could be staring at their first five-game losing streak since 1979.
Steve Spurrier never lost four in a row at Florida. He only lost four in a season twice.

You have to go back 25 years, to Galen Hall's final season in charge at Florida, to find the last pre-Muschamp four-game losing skid. With Saturday's loss to Vanderbilt -- the first Florida loss to the Commodores since the second game of a 1988 losing streak -- Muschamp has now done it twice in three seasons. And with a trip to South Carolina set for next Saturday, the Gators could well be staring at their first five-game losing streak since 1979. A visit from the No. 2 Seminoles at the end of November is looking especially daunting, and Florida will have to win one of those two games just to earn bowl eligibility, injury plague or not.
That modest goal -- a non-losing season -- appears to be all that's left for Muschamp in 2013. But three years of unwatchable offense and mixed results have even the most reasonable Gators fans readying the trap door.
A win against South Carolina won't solve things. Florida still has Georgia Southern on the schedule, however, and improbable bowl eligibility (combined with the goodwill of posting one of the nation's top resumes last season) might be enough to buy Muschamp a fourth year. A loss on Saturday should be the end of the line.
