And there, Sandy has expressed my view in a nutshell. I like Muschamp. I like his hard-nosed style and his straight-forward manner. I like his values and think he's a good role model for the players. There's no question but that Muschamp is a top-end defensive coach. Our complaints about defense this year really can be attributed to injuries.
But... and it's a big but... he only has long-term potential if he takes a philosophical 180 on his ideas about the offense, and then hires someone who can get the job done. He is hopeless on offense and he must realize that by now. So get in the right OC (and by 'right', I mean an OC who believes in scoring points every time you're on the field), and then turn the offense completely over to him. If CWM can't learn from his mistakes, and find a way to have an actual offense, then he really does need to go. I hope it doesn't come to that, but only time will tell whether Foley is right, or whether the fans calling for Muschamp's head are right.
