....that a deal has not yet been reached.  

Here's what the Bevo Beat says...

A Texas official said late Thursday that there has been no deal reached to hire Auburn defensive coordinator Will Muschamp.

An internet site and an Austin TV station reported that Muschamp had accepted an offer from Mack Brown earlier in the evening.

Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville told local media that he didn’t believe Muschamp would end up coming to Austin.

But in all coaching searches, everything is fluid. Stay tuned.

Hook 'em

napped Muschamp for our DC, the next should be replace Greg Davis w/ Major. I can't wait to see him comes back home from Alabama to be our new OC. Hook'em!

The guys on 1300 say it's a done deal, but they seem to be basing that conclusion on the weight of the published sources, rather than on independent information that contradicts the Statesman story.  They also say that Auburn media think he's leaving.

calls up Bill Little for a response. He says "no deal yet" -- and that is good enough for them.
Run the story with that response, despite every radio station and internet site claiming otherwise.

Newspapers - RIP ( I DO love the NY Times though)

From BevoSports:

Update: It is being reported (again by Orangebloods, best $10/month you can spend) that Muschamp was offered a "Jimbo Fisher deal." The Florida State offensive coordinator was lured away from LSU by the promise that he would be the coach to succeed the legendary Bobby Bowden. If this is true, Muschamp would likely have something in his contract that paid him a large buyout if he is let go or if someone other than himself is selected to follow Mack Brown as Texas coach. Biggest difference, Bowden is 78 and Mack is still a relatively young 56. (9:44 pm)

I guess we can afford the buyout if we decide we don't want him (Thank you Vince), but this is really locking us down on this guy.  Could be super good, could be bad... If true.  What does everyone else think?

I've long felt that Mack wouldn't be a Bowden or Paterno in the sense that he coaches until he turns to dirt. What I've always thought would happen was that in a few years Mack is going to retire and then take the Athletic Director job when Deloss retires. Then Muschamp takes over as HC, which I like because he has the fire in him. He doesn't just clap a lot, he says stuff like "Boom! Motherfucker! Yeah!" And that's the type of coach we need, someone who's going to get "hyped". This and Darrell Scott saying he's a longhorn (apparently, eventhough I can't find it anywhere on Rivals website)as of a minute ago is huge for Texas.

I didn't mean committed sorry. Was reading off a text message from a friend who gave a quick synopsis.

here's the link. chances keep getting better and better....
