Muschamp is a Saban...

Anyone can go apeshit 24/7 on the sideline. Texas defense is ranked 63 (ncaa.com under stats) Hardly Saban-like.

(And I dont give a shite that it's the Big 12)

BamaScoop, you are a great poster on this board and I have said it before, but why do you think a good sign a of a quality coach is seeing them go ape shite on the sidelines. I have always thought a great leader is one who is cool and calm during when the team is at its best and worst. JMO

Auburn- Tubbs (def. minded) ran the D

Tubbs did not run the D in 06/07. I assure you.

quote:

---

UT- he has had tons of points and yards put up on him this year.

---

While facing the most offensive firepower anyone in the nation has gone up against this season, while starting a sophomore and two freshman in the secondary, and with the defense with not even a full year under his system.

Facing 3 of the Top 25 ain't too bad.

Facing 4 of the Top 7 is.

It should also be noted that while we are giving up a shitload of yards through the air, we are allowing less than 20 PPG.

quote:

---

These coaches are only hot for so long. Muschamp needs to take a hc job before people cool on him.

---

And people could cool on him if he took another job and yielded average results.

He can stay hot by improving the defense, which will take time.

quote:

---

I don't get why UT is so scared of losing him.

---

Because if Mack Brown and Texas want to win another national title, there best bet is by keeping Muschamp. They should start out high in the polls next fall with Muschamp and McCoy coming back.

And that is obviously what Texas wants to do.

quote:

---

Why not let the guy get some hc experience and when Brown is ready to step down just hire Muschamp

---

Why not keep him and increase your chances of winning a national title in the next few years for Mack?

Why are you worried about it? If he takes over and he fails, they can fire him. He won't be the first or the last to be canned.

And you're wrong about who was running the defense when he was at LSU, Miami, and Auburn.

quote:

---

Let UT lose a couple games each year and who they would rather, Muschamp or the new hot coach on the market.

---

Or they can keep him, win a national title and his name be even more popular than it is now.

You're not thinking about the short term. It's a great move in that regard. And if he takes over and doesn't experience success, they can and probably will fire him. But, I don't think that'll be the case. You don't always have to have head coaching experience to succeed. Stoops, Fulmer, and Richt didn't have any head coaching experience

quote:

---

Brown isn't going anywhere as long as he's successfu

---

How do you know? You've talked to him? You can read his mind? You don't know. He may retire next fall for all you know.

quote:

---

Once the program starts to show chinks in the armor, he'll move on to AD or something and UT will be stuck with Muschamp.

---

Are you a closet Texas fan? Why do you care? Sticking with Muschamp just may prove to be a good thing. Nobody knows how this will work out in the long run.

quote:

---

He may turn out a good hc, but no way would I be thrilled about locking up a guy that has only 1 true year of coaching defense by himself.

---

I have a pretty good idea of what you mean when you say "by himself" and I'm not sure why people are so stuck on this. He said it himself that when he was here, he ran the defense during practice and game day responsibilities were his and that he and Nick game planned togther. Do you feel Mack Brown doesn't sit in the meeting rooms with him and the rest of the coaches? I don't think most coaches are like Spurrier and his obsession with offense.

But, I understand. With you and other folks, there is a lot of ambiguity there and you don't know one way or the other on who called the plays when he was at Auburn or LSU. So in order to be sure he's good in your mind, he has to coach for an offensive minded coach and put out good defenses then.

And Texas fans appear to be pretty pumped up about this move.

quote:

---

He was the D cood in name at LSU and Miami

---

No, he wasn't. He was calling plays. Nick wasn't just telling him what to run and then Will call it in to the defense.

quote:

---

Everyone knows who ran those Defs

---

Obviously not

quote:

---

He wasn't

---

So, you're basically saying that John Lovett, Chizik, Gibbs, Muschamp and Rhoads have gotten paid at Auburn to just send in the plays that Tuberville has called?
