It's on the news here (Austin) that it is a done deal

That's gonna leave a mark.

The barners will spin it though. They never wanted him anyway.

Shooooot...

He coached his players to be slow and lazy.

I know aTm can't be too happy about this. They had a serious man crush on him earlier this season when they were dreaming about who their new HC was going to be.

Does this mean we'll start seeing the chop block at Texas? :lol:

I think Tubbs has a copyright on that.

Only if they hired the OL coach.

I'm still getting bits and pieces, but I spoke with a friend who used to coach at LSU and the chop blocks may be a part of all this. Ironic, huh?

No matter which way you look at this, it's a negative for Auburn. You can say that Tubby is great in bringing assistants however, but we all saw how Borges turned out. I'm thinking the reason that Muschamp left was because he was a offered a contract much like Jimbo Fishers. Where he will take over when Mack retires in a predetermined year.

The move actually makes perfect sense to me, even if it is just a lateral move. Baylor, Houston, and SMU are all in Texas and they all hired new HCs this year. Any of those would have been a good place for Muschamp to start a head coaching career. He wasn’t really up for any of those jobs, mainly because people in Texas are not that aware of him and he has no recruiting ties in Texas.

I’m sure if here in Alabama a school like Troy needed a coach, Muschamp would be very close to the top of their wish list. I don’t believe that will change even if he spends the next two seasons in Texas. By taking this job, he gives himself exposure to all the schools in Texas, the schools in the Big 12, and can claim recruiting ties in Texas (which is a recruiting hot bed). He can already claim recruiting ties in Alabama, Georgia, and Florida because he has been a coach at Auburn.

Basically, I think this move really broadens his horizons and improves his chances at moving up into a HC job over the next two or three years. If he goes to Texas, has pretty good success, then someone like Texas Tech or Rice or Tulsa finds themselves needing a coach, Muschamp will probably look like a pretty good candidate for those jobs. Not to mention schools around here like the previously mentioned Troy or UAB who if they needed a coach, you know would give Muschamp a long, hard look.

I’m not saying there are not other factors which may be influencing his decision, I’m just saying that even if there weren’t, this would be the right move for his career. We would all like to believe this move indicates big problems down on the farm, but that may not be the case.

Solid post Randy, as much as I hate to admit, it actually speaks highly of Auburn's Coaching. Muschamp is a pretty solid Assistant Coach.

Good post Randy. Looking at it like that it does make a lot of sense.
