Abstract: The Coulomb gauge model of QCD is studied with the introduction of a confining potential into the scalar part of the vector potential. Using a Green function formalism, we derive the self-energy for this model, which has both scalar and vector parts, $Sigm{a}^S(p)$ and $Sigm{a}^V(p)$. A rotation of these variables leads to the so-called gap and energy equations. We then analyse the divergence structure of these equations. As this depends explicitly on the form of potential, we give as examples both the linear plus Coulomb and quadratically confining potentials. The nature of the confining single particle Green function is investigated, and shown to be divergent due to the infrared singularities caused by the confining potential. Solutions to the gap equation for the simpler case of quadratic confinement are found both semi-analytically and numerically. At finite temperatures, the coupled set of equations are solved numerically in two decoupling approximations. Although chiral symmetry is found only to be exactly restored as $Toinfty$, the chiral condensate displays a steep drop over a somewhat small temperature range.
