For the past few years whenever a head coach position opens in college football, Will Muschamp's name is on everyones list. He's young, somewhat psycho on the sidelines and his players will run through a wall for him. If he didn't have strong Georgia Bulldog roots he might have been the head coach at Georgia Tech rather than Paul Johnson. (Georgia Tech made a great hire anyway.)Right now Muschamp is employed by the University of Texas and now will remain so for the foreseeable future. Texas athletic director Deloss Dodds announced that Muschamp has been designated head coach in waiting by the Longhorns and is expected to take over as head coach of the Horns once Mack Brown retires.
Dodds says he wants Brown to stay a long time but wanted to avoid the "trauma" of a coaching search when Brown calls it quits. Mack Brown, you are on the clock.
By accepting this proposal, Muschamp will receive a hefty pay raise going from $425,000 to $900,000 in January and remain a very highly paid defensive coordinator for the time being.
Sorry Tennessee, Clemson, Washington, Kansas State and Syracuse (Do you really think Muschamp would go to the 'Cuse), Muschamp is officially off the market.
Texas knows it has a hot commodity and will pay any price ($$$$$) to keep Muschamp in burnt orange.
Will Muschamp, the eyes of Texas are upon you.
