His head coach-in-waiting status elevates him above most other "only coordinators".
He is known as a great recruiter. He looks like the kind of guy that will be able to restore discipline to a fractured and fractious team. And...since UT isn't in a bowl game, he can get to work on all of the above right away. Steve Mc --- On Sat, 12/11/10, Ken Kirkley <[email protected]> wrote: I'm not buying this yet. If it is true, it is a bad hire, plain and simple. If UF can not get a better head coach than a coordinator, then we are in trouble. Muschamp is an excellent coordinator and is widely thought to be a great head coach one day, but his first gig shouldn't be here. Add to that he is coming off a 5-7 season as head coach in waiting at U Tx and is a dawg, I feel like this is Zook II. No way is this a better hire than Charlie Strong, at least he has one year HC experience. Please let this not be true!

Muschamp, who just finished his third season at Texas, where he was the head-coach-in-waiting to succeed Mack Brown, replaces Urban Meyer at Florida. The person confirming the move spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak in advance of a formal announcement later Saturday night. -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us
