Muschamp has to live on $50,000 salary!

I wish him well

 

Best post ever!

 

I gave a best post ever and it didn’t feel like enough! THAT was funny!!

 

It’s welfare. He’s gotta show that he’s looking for work to get any benefit

 

Makes sense and he has been a huge part of the success defensively as you said.

 

Bottom line a great defensive mind. Not a fantastic head coach but as a defensive coach at several stops was really good.

 

He didn't get to coach them but those were his recruits that killed it with McElwain and Geoff Collins.

 

I met him at a Gator vs Usce basketball game when he was still at USce. He is the one that I wish had worked out, you never had to question his effort unlike some of the others.

Uga defense was really good before he got there, but I will die on the hill that he instilled that extra edge they have had the last 3-4 years that put them in the ELITE status.

 

Agree, and they could have been even better with Derrick Henry at linebacker and Lamar Jackson at DB.

 

He still will have a much higher, by far, income than I have.

 

Tough crowd ain't it? Lol!

Your point however, is well taken.

He deserves props for prioritizing family over money/ career.

Not a fan of his tenure as our HC, but as a person, he wasn't horrible. Pretty decent even.

 

I don't think I was ever as bullish on the Gators (long term) as going into his first year. Muschamp as HC promised to bring a great defense. Couldn't have been otherwise...

....and Superbowl winning OC, formerly HC at Notre Dame where his offenses there broke decades old records at one of the most storied programs in CFB history, as OC (Charlie Weis)...

Looked so damn promising on paper.

Alas.... reality failed to follow the script.

C'est la vie.

 

That was also his offensive line that Mac didn’t have enough of to even run a spring scrimmage with. In my opinion, Will Muschamp and Dan Mullen are tied for most destructive HC in the history of the Florida Gators

 

He has more money in the bank than most of us will ever see. He's a good guy but too many people castigate him for no good reason. 1965 Gator Grad

 

“for no good reason”?

Not
Sure
If
Serious

 

At Florida, like most schools that have tasted Dom Perignon rather than Cook's or Korbel's, only rings would confer love and sainthood upon a head coach. He had a great year in 2012, going 11-2 against one of our strongest schedules we've ever had in spite of having a 103d ranked offense. Had he been able to duplicate that in 2013 and perhaps 2014, he would be respected a lot more, if not loved, but as you said, the 2013 season was a nightmare of injuries. Muschamp simply struggled at all aspects of the game aside from defense. Like Bud Foster, Mickey Andrews, and others, Muschamp's greatest potential was as a DC. Becoming a head coach triggered his Peter Principle..

 

So if a coach doesn't achieve SOS/Meyer status, they deserve to be despised? Making SOS and Meyer the minimum standard is not only foolish, it insults the greatness of SOS and Meyer...

"What? You can't write plays like Shakespeare or novels like Orwell, Hemingway or Waugh?!? What an illiterate dumbass you are!"

 

Who said anything about SOS and Meyer? This guy inherited a talented roster and abruptly turned his back on the offensive side of the ball. He broke our nation’s-longest consecutive bowl streak. He lost at home to a Ga Southern team that did not complete one forward pass. He was hands-down our worst-ever head coach before Mullen came along.

SOS and Meyer? LMAO

 

Let's look at the number of OL'men recruited since 2008:

2002: 3
2003: 5
2004: 4

Zook average: 4/year

2005: 3
2006: 3
2007: 3
2008: 2
2009: 5
2010: 2

Meyer average: 3/year

2011: 2
2012: 2
2013: 5
2014: 6

Muschamp average: 3.75/year

2015: 6
2016: 3
2017: 3
2018: 4

McElwain average: 4/year

2019: 7
2020: 4
2021: 4

Mullen average: 5/year

2022: 5
2023: 4

Napier average: 4.5/year

Muschamp recruited about the same number of OL'men as everyone else. With Muschamp, several OL'men did not stay for a variety of reasons. Many here, of course, blame Muschamp for this, but they would never blame early departures on head coaches they love.

 

Dude, funniest post here in ages! Lol!
