Chip Brown on Muschamp

At the end, Chip mentions Kindle as one of the key linebackers next season. I take it his recovery from microfracture surgery is going well, then?
 
Read it again. It says need to REPLACE Foster, Griffin, and Jackson with new young talent. That's more Akina's job, anyway.
 
Nice article, thank!

I don't think Muschamp will ever be the Head Coach at Texas. It is all Majors. Besides Mack has at least 6 years left with the Gilbert Era coming soon.
 
Major is so far away from being able to handle a job like Texas it is not even worth thinking about at this time. I love the guy and thnk he is a super brain when it comes to ability to coach and learn. But c'mon, he is eons away from being ready here and Mack won't be here long enough for him to be ready. I just don't see it.

Do I like the thought of Major one day being head coach at Texas if the stars alligned right and he was ready? Hell yes I do. But I also know he is more than a couple years away from being ready to be the man.
 
I don't think Muschamp will wait 6 or so years for Mack to retire. I think Texas will hire a young inexperienced Major and go through some growing pains rather than have him go anywhere else.
 
I disagree. I do agree that Muschamp won't be here for six years. I also don't think Mack will either. But I don't believe that Major will be ready for a job of this caliber in six years. He was over his head at Alabama, Saban being a prick included. He has a lot to learn and a lot of seasoning to occur.

He needs to coach at least two different programs of varying level of pressure or have many more years as a coordinator with tons of responsiblity. He is just not there yet.

You are thinking with your burnt orange bleeding heart if you think Texas will hire Major and wait through years hoping he gets up to speed. I would love for him to be our coach and hope he is one day, but not until he is ready.

As a fan I am not willing to wait it out till he is ready just because he is Major Applewhite. Programs this big just don't do that. If they do, they don't stay at this level long.
 
Um, it's been a while since I left school, but Sixth Street is within walking distance of campus?

That's a hell of a hike.
 
When Deloss retires, then I'll worry about Mack stepping down, (up). Muschamp will never be the HC at Texas. He will go SEC. Major will get a crew together somewhere else and vie for the job when it comes open.
 
I don't have a crystal ball to see who replaces Mack, but I'm pretty sure it's neither Major or Coach Boom.

I figure Coach Boom gives us two years, just like Chizik, then gets his own head coaching gig.

I think Major spends some years here, becomes coordinator, then goes to a Tulsa, Syracuse, or a college at their level as head coach for a few years.

I think whoever replaces Mack, whenever Mack steps down or moves up, is probably already a head coach out there. If he's young, Major may never get his chance here. If he's not so young, and Major proves something at one or two stops, perhaps there's a chance he eventually winds up back at UT as head coach.

Mack's the head coach now, and I plan to enjoy the rest of his time here, however many years that may be, without worrying too much about his successor.
 
I don't know if Major is 15 years away, but I think 10 is not out of the question.

As for Muschamp, I don't believe he's one and done at Texas. I think he wants to be a defensive coordinator until a major program is ready to make him the head coach. Remember that he was offered the head coaching job at Southern Miss and turned it down before he was offered the DC job at Texas. So if simply being a head coach was his goal, he wouldn't even be here right now. He'd be in Hattiesburg. I get the feeling that defense is what he loves, and that's what he wants to focus on for now. I think he realizes that if he pulls a Gene Chizik and takes the first HC job that becomes available (even when he may not be ready for such a responsibility), it could doom his career as a football coach, and he's way too young for that.
 
IMO, Muschamp is here until the next quality SEC head coaching job opens up. He'd undoubtedly be on the short-list for any such opening.

However, considering the current slate of head coaches in the SEC, it may be several years before a quality job opening arises.
 
When Mack retires, Texas will hire a proven head coach with a winning record. Texas will not hire a coordinator with no head coaching experience. Mark it down.
