As far as hiring a D-Coordinator as a HC this was a home run hire. He was the HC in waiting at Texas.

It depends on if you expected to hire and already proven HC. If you did then you were likely disappointed.

Foley is a beast..

Never doubted the Champ hire. Never will.

I doubted at first but after that presser I was hooked.

Do you guys think Muschamp would leave UF for Texas once Mack is gone? One of the only jobs out there that would be considered better than UF is Texas, but I still don't see Muschamp wanting to leave. Interested to hear your guys' thoughts though...

Fair enough question, but I don't think so at all. He grew up in Gainesville and wanted to be a walkon at UF but a meeting fell through so he ended up at UGA. He has ties to UF and the SEC. I don't see any reason why he'd leave to go to Texas.

I was ok with Boom as a hire but did not see it as a home run. Agree with CLF4L that we need to see we need to give it another couple of years but more to see how his recruits develop.

Two concerns I have going forward. One is controlling his "passion" when a call does not go his way or a player makes a mistake; I will leave it for Foley to continue to work with Muschamp on this; he does seem a bit more in control this year. I would hate to see us lose a good coach because he grabbed the wrong player at the wrong time.

Secondly, as a fan I want more access and less coach speak when we get it. I know this is up to Muschamp and there is less complaining this year than last because or our record and we have become use to it.

I got you and I understand, but history shows the elite coaches go BIG in year 2 and we are 11-1 (as good as we ever were with Meyr or Spurrier) in year 2, with a first year OC and QB. That is an insanely good job. Look at how our team has developed too, I'm telling you guys we have a GREAT one!! I would not trade Muschamp for Nick Saban right now, because I think BOOM is a younger, more creative version, and we got him!!!!

As a matter of fact, our loss this year is better than the losses Meyer had in each of our NC runs (unranked Ole Miss and AU). Food for thought. I also don't remember ever having the intestinal fortitude to be down on the road and then just OWN the 4th Qtr. We've done that more than once this year!

I agree with you here. I wish that FSU was in the same position as you guys money and conference wise so we didn't have to hear head coaching rumors every December, but it is what it is. Muschamp has definitely changed the complexion of your team and I'm hoping we will learn to be more physical and less finesse after that loss.
