South Carolina is losing two offensive coaches, although only one is leaving by his own choice.

Steve Spurrier has fired much-maligned offensive line coach John Hunt, the university confirmed Sunday evening. Also, recruiting coordinator/assistant quarterbacks coach David Reaves told The State he is on his way to Tennessee.

Hunt has been under heavy criticism again this year as the Gamecocks struggled to protect their quarterbacks and run the ball. The 46-year-old Hunt coached with Steve Spurrier at Florida and with the Washington Redskins before joining Spurrier’s inaugural USC staff four years ago.

"We appreciate the job John Hunt has done here at Carolina for the past four seasons," Spurrier said in a release. "But we felt like we needed to make a change in that area. He's a good person and we wish him the best."

"I don't agree with the decision, but I respect Coach Spurrier's decision," Hunt said. "I appreciate the opportunity he gave me. I enjoyed my time in South Carolina and wish the Gamecocks the best in the future."

Reaves is joining his brother-in-law, Lane Kiffin, Tennessee’s new head coach, as the Volunteers’ quarterbacks coach. Reaves interviewed with Kiffin two years ago with the Oakland Raiders, but decided to stay at USC.
