Muschamp ... "resigns"

Re: Muschamp Fired

I count everything out here "West Coast"!

His buyout is 7.5 million, ouch! I know he is northwest kinda guy, CSU is more to his upbringing than typical west coast. I think he will get the itch at some point and his coaching is more of an SEC/ Big Ten than PAC12/ BIG12. His teams are strong defensively and they run the ball. Sound familiar?

Coach Butch Jones, stay close to your telephone...

I don't know an inside information on how the little things are done at Fla but it seems to me CWM's biggest problem is hiring the wrong OC for his team.

If mcelwaine can recruit in the sec he will do good at any school he goes to. If you can't recruit good in Florida,,you can't recruit.

I'm really sorry things didn't work out for Coach Muschamp. He's a fine person and a class act all the way.

I don't know why a coach cannot get it right - it doesn't seem all that hard to me - but I'm just a fan so what do I know.

Mind boggling and losing really sucks so we'll see what happens.

Lot of support for Bob Stoops - and he has some credentials too, as posted by someone on our forum:

• 8 conference championships
• 1 national championship
• 5 national coach of the year honors
• 9 BCS bowls (he's the ONLY coach to win EVERY BCS game)
• 80% winning percentage (Spurrier's winning % at UF was 81%)
• Coached 4 Heisman winners
• Hired the likes of Mangino, Sumlin, Leach as OCs
• In 16 years he's only lost SEVEN games at home.

They MAY get a Stoops, but it won't be Bob Stoops.

Little Willie might want to go back to Tejas as HC in Waiting II for when Fluoride hires Charlie Strong...

Stoops may not be the long shot some here think it is. There was the article just this week about how stale things in Norman have become. Maybe Bob needed new scenery, a new challenge.

I hope all of you who are advocating the hiring of Kirby Smart as Coach Saban's replacement are watching VERY closely.

The SEC does NOT allow you to get "on the job training" when you've never been a head coach anywhere at the collegiate level. Mark Richt is an exception. Go look at all the disasters in the SEC lately:

Mike DuBose
Mike Shula
Ron Zook
Sylvester Croom
Will Muschamp
Lane Kiffin
Ed Orgeron
Gene Chizik (his title was a bought fluke)


You can go to a place like Miss State or Vanderbilt (Mullen and James Franklin) and get your feet wet and THEN take the big name SEC job. But you don't START at the top of the mountain without experience.

I'm just telling you - learn from what you're watching and how it will affect us.

Kiffin actually did a very good job at Tennessee, and considering the sanctions at USC, he didn't do too badly there as well. I think he's done a great job for us too.

I think he well be at TAMU as DC.

That wouldn't surprise me.

Re: Muschamp Fired

I would not be supprised if lane kiffin gets interviewed for the gator job.

crimsonaudio said:

Which one?

All three of them he hired were considered great OCs before they landed in Gainesville - either they forgot how to coach as soon as the plane landed or CWM didn't let them do their thing.

I suspect it's the latter rather than the former...

I agree. That's kinda what I mean. The right one for HIS team.
Either he did a bad job of evaluating them or he won't let them do what they do.
The fact he's had three different OC's in four years says he doing something wrong.

crimsonaudio said:

Bob Stoops could be on the table, I dunno. I do know that he made it clear he wasn't married to OU when Bama was looking for a new HC...

I have heard Michigan could be interested in Bob Stoops as well. There might be a bidding war for his services. He will definitely be making more money next year no matter what happens.

Jon said:

no way Muschamp takes that job. He's too smart and not near desperate enough. Don't know the details but I am sure he is walking away from Gainesville with a well stuffed bank account.

The AU DC job is a career killer. Ellis Johnson is a good DC, he looks bad at AU because, Gus's baby Offense get's priority, dibs on all talent and that O that get's on and off the field lightning quick puts extreme pressure on a Defense. Honestly what EJ has been able to do there has been remarkable considering the circumstances. Firing Ellis Johnson will start a massive chain reaction of DC's rotating through the plains. Going to be fun to watch.

Very good post. AU's problems on defense are at least partially a product of that gimmick offense. Their offense tends to leave the defense on bad positions and tires them out with very little time between series to rest. I don't think Boom is bad coach, but he had a quarterback who apparently fooled the coaches into thinking he was Tebow2. He could be successful in the right situation. Big time schools should not hire coordinators as head coaches. It has been proven time and again that they can't handle all the stuff outside football that come with running a big time program. The media, the fans, booster who think because they give money they can have direct input and access to the coach are all part of the problem. We had trouble figuring that out as well for a while.

Please correct me if I am wrong but I heard that Stoops OU contract agrees to have him the highest paid coach in CFB by $1? If so why ever leave?

Do you think big flop Bob is making $7M and $1?

I think Muschamp might end up as South Carolina DC......
