It doesn't matter who their DC is. Their offense can't stay on the field vs defenses like ours to give their defense a breather. We wore them out 3 years in a row by pounding their D on the ground.

It's bad for LSU. We need them to keep the dude they had last night.

Whoever is hired as A&M's new DC will have to recruit better, more physical players on the defensive side of the football. I don't think the Aggies have anything to lose approaching Muschamp about the job--maybe he'll like the challenge. Their quick scoring offense makes it tough on their defense.

Despiite his struggles, Myles Garrett is a great prospect and will be solid in the future, but it looks like he won't have enough help.

Muschamp is a HC level guy now, regardless of Fla results. He will go to another Power 5 Conf or lower tier regroup gig, before becoming an SEC DC again(been there done that at LSU, Aub , and Tex)..

He may take something like that(ATM DC), but if I were he, Sexton, or one of his consulting peeps, I wouldn't return back to the SEC as DC yet a 3rd time(it's semi job regression?), even at 1M per, unless he longer aspires future HC gigs?

He needs to get back on the horse and work his craft(being an HC) elsewhere.

Muschamp will not go there. He knows iron sharpens iron. A&M is inherently flawed with the offense they run that they will never have an elite defense.

They can definitely get better on defense but Muschamp is all about a tough physical defense and he knows that just isn't happening at A&M.
Is this the theory that explains why some people think that a better offense will weaken the defense? Maybe back in the 70's this made sense.

That might be the best way to approach it, but remember Kiffen returned to the SEC as a coordinator this season and had good results.

So Muschamp might do well as DC in the right situation, possibly even at an SEC school.

By the way, when is the coaching changes thread returning to the Rant?

This is what I believe. Guess it is a little old school.

Can't ignore this, and I can't help but think about Freeze and Ole Miss' success on D (lack of depth caught up with them late in season).

Saban had to reign Kiffin in. Defense in college between equally talented programs relies on schemes. You can find the holes in schemes after about 8 possessions.

If A&M is to have any defensive success, then they have to change their offense to hold the ball longer.

He's not going there. He'll be the next HC at SMU before he goes to be DC under a guy who's no better a HC than him.

Muschamp(one HC gig) is probably regarded higher in terms of a quick return to HC, than is a Kiffin that has proven mediocre in that regard at three stops.

Boom is infinitely more mature and level headed than LK has shown to date, in terms of a HC.

The SEC is the premier league, and the one known for elite D, but Boom probably will be leary of becoming an SEC DC a 3rd time..that pattern looks a bit habitual!

An 2nd HC gig(even if it has to be CUSA or MAC,etc..) >> 3rd SEC DC gig..if still aspiring an HC career path.

Everyone? No. He's a rantard favorite because he screams a lot like Saban. Close to their god ya know.

We sure better hope they do not get Muschamp. Our high powered offense under Cam and Jennings would be in deep trouble ........


You seem to have plenty of whine with that cheese melt you've been on the past couple of days.

Maybe his coaching gig at Florida was one of the biggest UGA troll jobs ever?

Hard to explain 38-20 though.

Muschamp has been DC at Texas, LSU, Auburn, and the Miami Dolphins.

Add head coach in waiting at Texas and Head Coach at Florida.

What do all those programs have in common? (Hint: championship pedigree)

Muschamp is not so desperate for a job that he'll take a job at an above average program in a shite town.



My money says he sits out or takes a job at a big program.

Say all you want about A&M ' s money but they just gave their HC a huge raise and extension that in no way reflects his on field accomplishments. Combo of A&M program status, city it's in, where muschamp has experience as a coach, and the shite he's been through just now that won't put him at a&m.


A&M fans also thought gruden would seriously be their HC ..... they don't realize they're not fricking USC in LA, or even Texas in Austin. Just the reality of A&M.

And the Alabama program has had infinitely more prestige and success than the A&M program. They're hardly comparable. So kiffin to bama is not a good comparison. Also Saban has been a proven head coach at the highest level of multiple jobs. Sumlin won conf USA once I guess? So which job reference would you want?

Not a chance Boom stoops down to that level. He's going to take a year off then be HBC somewhere in 2016
