New NCAA rule will limit Muschamp's and other HCs in waiting in recruiting

Silly. TX should just remove the title from Muschamp. Silly.

It's not that simple. It's a part of his contract. Muschamp would have to agree, and then they would have to draw up an entirely new contract.

exactly what i was thinking

Would you trust your boss if he or she promised you a promotion and refused to put it in writing?


If it is not in writing, it doesn't exist. In the world of multi-million dollar football programs there is a lot on the line and if they think they can do better and they don't have to keep you (i.e. it's not in writing), then they wouldn't.

The head coach in waiting thing, IMO, doesn't really have a big enough sample size to test whether it is successful or not. Kentucky and Florida State are going to be the first that I've really heard of that are going to be using the coach in waiting as their new head coach this year, and that's going to take at least three years to initially evaluate whether it is a success or not.

I guess the NCAA wants to get a beat on it before it becomes a success or a failure. IMO, it's a couple of years too early to think about any rules enforcing what a HCIW can do or cannot. Either way, like I've said earlier, they'll just name it under the table and tell the recruits who the coach in waiting is. If a recruit spills the beans, I could just see the school saying, "Nope, we didn't say this to that kid".

That's the loophole though. They can put this in his contract. They just don't have to publicly announce that they've done it.

I sort of like the rule. It isn't saying that a school can't do the HCIW designation. But it will keep a HCIW from getting to close to a recruit and promising him the world "when I become coach".

A regular position or coordinator can say something to a recruit but a kid may not fall for it as much as he would from his potentially new head coach who has the ultimate say.

Anything that chips Texas' @rse even a little bit is fine by me. Might eventually chap the Bammers, too.

I do wish they had clipped USC real good about a week before NSD. That would have been real, karma.
