Why is it assumed they settled? Because they aren't the huge names that some assume are great candidates?


Pretty much. Names like Petrino, Peterson and Harbaugh were being thrown out. It just seems to me that Muschamp is a downgrade from Meyer, while the others were a little bit closer to Meyer as far as being proven coachs. They obviously haven't won 2 titles like Meyer, but they are highly respected as head coachs. Muschamp is highly respected as a DC. Just IMO.

I understand your point, as they've all had HC experience. I do mention this though, most of these guys started as coordinators and then made the jump.

Stoops made the jump to OU straight from a DC and was quite successful. Same goes for Petrino at UL, Pelini at Nebraska, etc.

I think they were looking more long term. Get a young, up and coming guy that will be there a while and Muschamp fit that to a tee and comes from a pedigree.
