Chip Brown on Muschamp

Mack has a big annuity payment coming after the 2009 season. I wouldn't be surprised to see him leave (step up) then. It depends on Sally, his health and the team's success (or off the field problems).
 
I hope there is a plan in place for Mack to step down and give the job to Will. He's a special guy who brings a (gulp) Bob Stoops work ethic to the team.
 
Seriously...he hasn't accomplished anything here yet.
I don't want to fall into the trap again of "In Chizik we trust" that was uttered so much around here.
 
I really don't understand all this talk about MAck stepping down, or taking the AD job. Has DeLoss ever talked about retiring? Has Mack ever talked about retiring? Has Mack ever talked about interest in becoming AD? What's to keep Mack from coaching into his 90's like Paterno or Bowden? I think if Mack were to, for whatever reason, not want to be head football coach at Texas, he would just call it quits. He doesn't need money, so why would he want to put up with the political BS of being AD? He could still be a part of the team, as little as Royal is (casual observer), or could be some sort of support guy, like Cleave Bryant is.
 
Have learned over the years that reading each of your posts thoroughly, PFD, is a good/practical exercise for me...

On your first response, agree with "[this article is another] product of Chip Brown's consistently flawed coverage of the Longhorn football team." CBrown used to get quite a bit of inside info, but liberties taken with that confidence appear to have taken their toll. Now, more and more it seems he's out on his own--not a reliable place to be for him or us readers, imo.

Also think Muschamp will be at Texas for more than a year; the SEC coaching carousel coming to a stopping point for a while is certainly a rational enough reason as you pointed out.

Believe your comparison of Stoops and Muschamp fits well into the future HC picture/possibilities for our current DC when the time is right for him (after '09).

Thanks for what you do on this board and others, PFD.
 
UT is gonna love Muschamp. I had the opportunity to see him in the SEC and he's the real deal. I think the Horns defense has not been up to UT caliber in recent years and he'll bring them back to the level they need to be, or kill them doing it. The man is INTENSE, and demands the same of his players.
 
Technically, Fulmer did have head coaching experience before he was "hired" as head coach at Tennessee. He was promoted to interim HC when Majors fell ill in the middle of the 1992 season (as he was the senior assistant coach), and then was "hired" as HC during the next offseason, with a 4-0 "head coaching" record under his belt. Some questionable ethical moves made by Fulmer, as Laphroaig pointed out, but it is what it is. He served the role of head coach when the program had no other choice, giving him head coaching experience, but without the title or permanence of head coach.
You do point out a few examples, though, so point taken, although I seriously doubt that any quality SEC program would hire Muschamp as HC at this point in time until after he gets some HC experience somewhere. I would say there's a very, very slim chance that if Papa Bowden retires/dies, and Richt bolts for FSU, Muschamp could be considered, as a UGA alum. Again, I doubt it, but possible. I've been wrong on several occasions, so I could be wrong about this, too.
