re: What would the depth chart be in a 3-4 scheme?

He came from the church of Saint Saban so he is a 3-4 man at heart....

Everyone who coordinates under Saban runs a 3-4, because that is Saban's defense. Unlike Saban, Muschamp is not a devoted "3-4 guy"...otherwise you'd see that as Florida's base defense, which isn't the case. I don't believe that he ran a 3-4 at Valdosta State either.


"Muschamp is from the Nick Saban coaching tree, and he has a similar defensive philosophy. The main difference is that Muschamp prefers to run a 4-3 defense, compared to the 3-4 that Saban and defensive coordinator Kirby Smart use at Alabama. The Longhorns used a 3-4 in recent years because of a shortage of defensive tackles, but the scheme Muschamp will use in Gainesville is mostly a 4-3 with the 3-4 used in some situations."
