so he turned down a head coaching job to be an underling in Lee County?
Not necessarily. Many times if a school has interviewed several and they decide to go another direction (hire someone else), they'll notify the candidates and allow them to withdraw from consideration prior to announcing their decision. It's kind of a "face saving" measure for some.

Unless I miss read it, I don't believe it said Muschamp turned down Houston. However, the deluded ones over in West Georgia are certainly wanting people to believe that was the case.

Sports Illustrated reporting Coach Mac has hired Mississippi State DC Geoff Collins to be his DC at Florida. link

Mississippi State defensive coordinator Geoff Collins is expected to accept the same position at Florida, according to a source.

An agreement has not yet been finalized, per the source.

Collins would be new Florida coach Jim McElwain’s first hire since taking over nearly two weeks ago and a major head-turner in the SEC. Under Collins, Mississippi State’s defense ranks 10th in the FBS in points allowed (19.4 points) this season and was instrumental in the Bulldogs’ rise to the No. 1 spot in the College Football Playoff rankings for three weeks earlier this season.

But after a 31-17 loss to rival Mississippi in the Egg Bowl last month, Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen was surprisingly harsh about his team's defense.

"That's just absolutely pathetic," Mullen told reporters. "That's a terrible job by our defensive coaching staff."

That'll hurt MSU's recruiting, and help Florida's.
That move will hurt MSU far more than it will help Florida. Specific coaches aside, Florida is still Florida and they will always get a lot of top recruits based solely on that alone, but obviously MSU has no such luxury.

Not that anyone really thought/thinks that MSU will remain a consistent contender moving forward, but departures like this really only cements their decline.
