I'd be surprised if Muschamp even reads Gene Frenette, much pays any attention to his advice. Now that Frenette has said it I'm even reconsidering my opinion of Muschamp's sideline behavior. If Frenette is against it it must be good. Actually, the players like it. They say they feed off his enthusiasm.
