Muschamp turned out to be a bad hire, but I still think the extension was worse than the hire. That buyout money was stupid.

That said, going back to that year I can't think of who we should have hired. Fuente failed, Lincoln Riley did pretty well at OU, and probably would have been exciting here but would he have stayed? Would he have been able to do anything close to what he did at OU? Kirby would have been a good get, but I feel like he walked into a good situation at UGA, It was a mess here.

Tanner is just a bad all around AD, but hiring hasnt been his worst attribute imo (not that it has been fantastic)

Idk, I hated the hire from the start
A guy who failed at Florida and we just expected him to become a better coach.
There were other guys at G5 programs I would have rather seen.
Muschamp had tons of talent on those Florida teams too as shown from the NFL draft too.
And he stunk

And yes , even though Fuente failed, I would have rather failed with him than Muschamp, we’d be in the exact same spot we were with him.

And with Riley or Smart, if we did get them and they left after say 2 years , it would have meant they were doing well with us and would have left our program in better shape than Muschamp left it
