    I believe he is.

    Their defense isn't even all that good.

    Agreed. Muschamp just doesn't look like the right fit.

    Pro-style offense with spread players isn't going to work. As far as the defense goes... They are in the same position that LSU's defense was in the last couple years... They never leave the field.

    Urban left him a mess on the offensive side of the ball.

    No real running back. No coached up receivers.

    Lots of gimmicky type players.

    Muschamp wants to run a pro-style offense (see Fat Phuck OC hire) and the players he got are nothing resembling that.

    Actually, Brantley IS a pro-style QB and that's MORE than half the battle.

    They could easily run a single-back offense. They lack a true FB and a beefy running back, but the players they have AREN'T entirely different from what you would use in a pro-style offense. Demps and Rainy COULD make it work better than what they already have with that stupid spread they are running.

    Again, if they didn't have a pro-style QB, THAT's a problem. But they've got talented WR's...talented TE's.

    Their OLine is thin on depth and suck in general. But that's not a scheme problem...that's a recruiting problem.

    I think its too early to say that about Muschamp, he walked into a nightmare. Why do you think Urban Meyer left? He obviously didn't keep the program with the same amount of talent as when he got there. I can't believe Ohio St hired him!:lol: I hope he screws up that program about as bad as he did at Florida. He is going to get a big payday and when the pressure gets great he's gonna bail!:lol::popcorn:

    Brantley doesn't appear to be the answer.

    He was benched in tonight's game.

    They may have some talent at WR, but Meyer did a god awful job getting them coached up.
