A View On Muschamp

by Peter Bean on Jan 4, 2008 5:29 PM CST in Football Comment 16 comments

From my friend Jay, who was nice enough to pass along a few words on Muschamp last night before this news was finalized.

He's a tremendous coordinator. In my opinion, he's even better than Chizik. He's without question a players coach. The kids love him. He's a crazy man on the sidelines. I'm including a link to a post I did following the Arkansas game. It's classic Muschamp.

He runs a solid 4-3. He uses the defensive ends and linebackers aggressively. He loves to blitz. He had ends Quentin Groves and Antonio Coleman do most of the dirty work for him this year. His numbers are incredible.

Heading into the Chick-Fil-A Bowl Auburn led the SEC in scoring defense and was sixth nationally. He was second in the conference in total defense.

During his two seasons at Auburn he's held 21 of 26 opponents to 20 points or less. He's the real deal.

Awesome

I can't wait till Dallas in October and the day after Thanksgiving. Black Friday indeed Mike Sherman.

Don't forget....

......he already has his first Nat'l Championship ring from his DC work for Nick Saban at LSU. He stopped Bob Stoops from winning his 2nd NC.

I am pumped...

This is great news... I really looking forward to seeing his defense next year. If we have a D that can hold people we won't need to score 50 to beat them.

so if he's the DC...

does that mean a demotion for Akina? I'm curious about not having any quotes from him about how he feels about this move.

Akina has been demoted

Per the Statesman, he now is the secondary coach and assistant head coach. Muschamp is the sole DC, plus linebacker's coach (I think, not sure though).

Big 12 running backs and QBs may now commence pants-shitting.

also...

Duarte of the Chronicle is reporting that Muschamp is considering bringing on Ed Orgeron as D-Line coach. I doubt it'll happen because I really doubt Orgeron would take a d-line-only job, coming off being a head coach in the SEC.

But if it does happen, it would be safe to say the Texas D would be the meanest bunch of beasts in all the land.

Good lord

That would be sweet. Oh how I wish Josh Freeman were coming to Austin next year...

The Orgeron?!?!

I have not gotten excited to this point, but if he brings The Orgeron with him, I will literally wet my pants with excitement.

So take that.

Does anyone.....

....know what we have agreed to pay Muschamp? And will we then match his salary with that of Greg Davis?

Huntsville papers claim he was scheduled to make $425,000 at Auburn. He's definitely worth that kind of money, and more. However, it would be a horrible shame to provide Greg Davis with a matching salary!

i wrote on the thread below

I think I heard from EDSBS that it's a 3-year, $1.6m deal. Quite the pretty penny.

correction

Statesman is reporting it's $425,000 for one year (but with spoken word he'll stay for two), according to a UT source. That's the same he was going to make at Auburn.

GD has received a raise every time a new DC is hired. He will make $351,000 this season.

I was wonding about that

What is with the matching salaries? Is Mack worried that he is going to be hired away? Maybe in 2005, but the last two years has taken the shine of that Broyles Award
