Will Muschamp to UF

[Burhead]

Various UT reporters are saying Lance Thompson could be contacted by Muschamp.

 

[RockyTop411]

I now hate that POS. He basically just slapped us in the face.

 

[VolBuck24]

Great hire for the gators. Unfortunately.

I don't know how good of a coach Derek Dooley...

but I do know that he is in prime position to take over the East.

 

[KnoxVillain]

Too good for us huh? He's not my least favorite coach in the SEC.

 

[Mason72]

Great news>>> ha ha ha ha .... Zook part ii

 

[HialeahGator]

I called it....rumored he had a face to face with Foley during the Home Depot awards. Moved up the list behind Stoops and Petersen.

 

[KnoxVillain]

Considering I thought Florida had Mullen in the bag...I'm ok with this hire.

 

[theutvolunteers]

Interesting. What type of offense will he run?

 

[orangespirit]

Hahahahahahaha thank you Florida for being idiots if true.

I guess the Gator fans will get to sweat it out when Richt is out at Georgia and/or when Mack Brown retires. I'll be interested to see what kind of staff he puts together. I also would view his hiring as indicating some/several "bigger" names turned the Gators down. Funny how, per reports, Mullen, who is familiar with UF, the current philosophies, and recruiting the area, didn't have enough HC experience or any "big" wins, yet they hire someone with zero HC experience and zero wins. Not bashing the hire, we would have been happy for UT to have hired Muschamp last year, just highlighting some points of interest.

that basturd didnt want us though.

I don't know if that's all the way true. Rucker tweeted that UT and Muschamp talked. UT was intrigued but not blown away by him. Acted like Hamilton didn't really miss on him because the interest wasn't what the media made it to be.

I think he is a good young coach, hes put a lot of guys into the NFL.

 

[Pulscifer]

Wow, I'm in shock.

Wow, they could have had anyone and they hire Muschamp? If I'm a Uf fan I'm a little underwhelmed

 

[zjcvols]

If the decision came down to Mullen or Muschamp...

I mean, that's a really, really gutsy decision by Foley. He must know something about Mullen we don't.

Tough to do at Texas

What if Mullen turned them down?

 

[CountVolcula]

Interesting Florida hiring a defensive minded coach. Dont figure they will be burning the scoreboards up in Florida running the spread anymore. Muschump will more than likely go after a Pro-Style OC.

I like this hire

True, but I think he has potential. Look at Dooleys record at LTU most didnt think he would have a good year this year, but he has. So you never know.

 

[zjcvols]

I don't know what to make of this. Muschamp has had some very good moments...but this year, it wasn't pretty.

ESPN is saying Will is the only person FL interviewed.

 

[zjcvols]

That...would shock me more than this.

I love this hire. Florida hiring a guy who always has top talent and consistently gives up big points to big 12 teams coaching a team loaded with talent. I like that equation.

 

[OrangeBrownie]

Also, that's a pretty underwhelming hire, imo.

Let's not forget that he did turn us down

I think its about what I expected.

I didn't think they were going to get the homerun that a lot of the florida fans were talking about in their pipe dreams but at the same time they got a solid hire
