Well the first thing Muschamp has to do is teach his team who to block.

Although he's got a very small track record he took a talented, massively underperforming roster and got them to play tougher football. Isn't that exactly what Texas needs?

So, Gus would be taking over one of the best five football coaching spots in the country a mere 8 seasons removed from being a high school coach? That is one impressive career trajectory. One ginormous mistake for UT.

That's my thought.

Unlesssssss..... Malzahn turns out to be a Chip Kelly level guru, which he very well might be. Chip Kelly had a similar meteoric rise and it was a good gamble by Oregon.

It's all hearsay. I doubt Malzahn will be the next coach at UT, although Mack is on the way out fairly soon. If it's not this season, it's probably next season.

I would liken Chip Kelly to be more like Brian Kelly.

Both started out at a small school (DII vs FCS) on the defensive side of the ball. Brian became a head coach much quicker, but it took him basically 20 years before getting a head coaching gig at the FBS level. Chip Kelly took nearly the same amount of time before becoming a coach at the FBS level as Nike U's OC. We all know what they have done from there.

The one thing I do think both Chip and Gus have in common is that they took over a team crafted to run their offense. People forget that Gus recruited most of the players on Auburns roster, which allowed for quicker acclimation for both player and coach.

Yes, but as stated above, the roster was taylor made for his offense since he recruited most of the players. Not so at Texas.

Plus, to win championships, you need to play good defense. Auburn this year is ranked 69th in total defense, 51st rushing defense and 45 in pass efficiency.

A little bit of trivia for us all. Auburn was the last team to win the national championship with a team total defense that was outside the top 10. Who was the last team before Auburn to win the MNC without a top 10 defense?

What's the word on Ed-O and USC? Is Haden seriously considering keeping him? I don't envy Haden's position.

I'll say it again. If the two biggest recruiting thorns in our side (USC and Michigan) have Brady Hoke and Ed-O at head coach, I will rest easily.

Haden said he'd make 'a rational decision'... many took that as he won't be caught up in the emotional wave Ed O is enjoying right now... I'd be very suprised if Ed O is the head coach next year, very suprised... I think it's Sumlin's job if he wants it.

On a recruiting level, that could be worst case for ND. I hope it's Del Rio.

What realistic hire could SC make without hitting ND's current recruiting efforts... honestly??
Click to expand...

Anyone they hire will give them a recruiting bump the first year. Heck Ty Willingham even had a decent recruiting class his first year. That says a lot given what a terrible recruiter he was.

Exactly, anything can happen, but most likely Smith and Mama will be on board within 72 hours of SC's new hire... and then go from there... just my gut.

Come to think of it, Ed O and Brady Hoke are like Carmen Policy and Eddie DeBartolo. They look alike but are not known to be blood relatives. I could see a plausible scenario where it is discovered that Hoke and Big Ed O are brothers. Yeah, it could happen.

Well at least Muschamp is developing the character of his players

Virginia tech defensive coordinator Bud Foster interviewing for the UConn job. Wouldn't be my first choice.

Why? I think that is about as good as they are going to get. He's been the DC of team that has had very good defenses for years and many have speculated that he would be the front runner if and when Beamer steps down. Foster has a great reputation in CFB
