He recruited America's # 1 quarterback-Brian Brohm I'd say that recruiting him with Stefan Lefors coming back is pretty damn talented... If you've seen Brohm play in spot duty-They've had a lot of action on Thursdy nights this year-he is 'tharealdeal'...
Brian Brohm is from there I think. His brother played QB for Louisville a while back, and is now the QB coach (I think) for them. Pretty safe to say his brother recruited him. I am sure BP played a part too though.
It is a fact that while the defensive architecture is admittedly Saban's, the playcalling is t-o-t-a-l-l-y Muschamp's responsibility. As a playcaller with adequate talent, he's unparalelled. The question is, can he scheme in the offseason and on gameweek, and make adjustments in game to his schemes... It's a fact Muschamp and all DC's called Saban's defense because Saban admitted that he took over playcalling on defense at the half of the 2000 Peach Bowl against Godsey & Georgia Tech...Elmassian sat in the box with his thumb up his arse in the 2nd half...
Saban credits WM for most Blitz packages. I heard he had to convince Saban to blitz so much. He is a great Defensive mind. A must keep IMO
The knock, so to speak, against WM is his age and relatively spotty record. One wonders if a young, offensive-minded coach like Petrino would consider retaining Will. If so, Will would be wise to consider staying. If there's a perception out there that he was just Saban's puppet, then running the show all by himeslf while Petrino tries to hang 60 on each week's opponent is a quick way to shed that image...and do so while winning championships. In short, a high-profile position, full responsibility on that side of the ball, and a very fast track to his very own HC position down the road. How fun would that be: Bobby and Paul Petrino serving as the equivalents to Mike and Bob Stoops at OU, just on the offensive side of the ball, while Will Muschamp brings his ultra-intense, Saban-infused defense to play week in, week out.
I was just about to post that myself. I too feel a little for what they're going through...not to mention concerned a bit by Petrino's canniving ways.
If he didn't consider keeping the DC of the 1st and 3rd ranked defenses in the country for the last two years, then his mental capacity must be questioned.
