Will Muschamp is the new coach of the Florida Gators

nope. why would they? That's like breaking up with girl and asking her to keep herself open in case you want to get back together a year or two down the road.

 

In regards to Muschamp taking the UF job, I don't think anything. However it does open up the question that just who would LSU have to choose from should we need a HC. So many believe that LSU would have the top of the tree to pic from, but is that really the case. UF is every bit, if not more so in some's minds, one of the top destinations for any coach to want to be. Well if UF can only get someone at Mushcamps level, just who do we have to choose from?

Not that Muschamp is a terrible coach or anything, just that one would think they would go after a proven HC like most LSU fans believe the Tigers would. Choosing a coordinator, as opposed to a proven HC, could be a potential set back for the Gators. Would that be the best LSU could do, as well. Even though UF states the WM was their first choice, I don't think very many believe this to be the case.

Programs like Vandy are who you expect to go after coordinators, because top level coaches probably aren't going to coach there. Programs like UF, Bama, LSU, UGA, etc you would expect to go after top level HC's to fill a HC position. What if those coaches just aren't available? What if we have to do the same as UF? Just what asst coord would we possibly choose from? WM is one of the best that was available and now he isn't. I know asst coor make very good HC, look at Bo and Jimbo, but at the time Neb and FSU were in need of a HC neither program was at the top of the food chain, and having to choose from an asst coor could have been the best they could choose from.

 

I'm just not sold on Muschamp. The power in the East is about to shift back to Georgia in my opinion. The winner in all of this is Mark Richt. I think Georgia fans should be thankful that they didn't run him out of town.

Now I'm not saying that Muschamp will never be a good head coach, or that he cannot do it, but he hasn't yet, and until he proves he can, the jury is out on him.

My question is who is going to be on his staff??

 

He might want to look to the entire UT staff that all just left. I mean he has a working relationship with all of them, and with the exception of last year they did a pretty good job at UT. Some of who have worked together for 5+ yrs.

 

Lets say that happens, and he hires Greg Davis as his OC. The team he has in place right now is built for the spread. Greg Davis (who got his start at Barbe H.S. by the way) isn't really a spread guy. There is going to be growing pains. Going to be interesting.

 

Probabaly a good choice on Florida's part. Of course you never know how an assistant will work out as head coach until he's been at it a year or two, but certainly the potential is there.

 

Very true, but Muschamp is going to have growing pains regardless. Not being a HC already he will have a quantum leap from DC to HC of UF.

 

Hey Red, is timing everything? :hihi:

 

What about OC? I know a guy he can have, I won't say any names but his name rhymes with Gary Crowton.........:hihi:
