re: What record saves Muschamp's job?

I'm not sold on Muschamp, but I don't think the record last year is an indication of his ability as a head coach. Especially given the 11-2 season the year prior against one of the most difficult schedules in the country. There were a lot of things that did not go Florida's way last year. There was just a total clusterfrick of bad bounces, unlucky breaks, and critical injuries. There were some faults of coaching too, but I think most of those were on the offensive side of the staff, and really, if those have been fixed, I like Muschamp as a long term coach at Florida.

One more year will tell us if he can do it.

I don't think he's a bad dude but there's only one type of coach that survives and perseveres these times: Those who can adapt.

And so far, Muschamp has shown that he is either unwilling or incapable of that.

If he comes back with a completely different offense -- one based more for the spread then I'll be content but he should have foreseen those problems way, way before a 4 - 8 season.

The production has been terrible from the get go, and it took him the worst season in Florida history since before I was born, losing to an FCS, getting blown out of the water on our homecoming, empty stadiums and a humiliating loss to Louisville for him to finally get with the program that his offense was the problem.

I really hope he sticks around and changes the offense -- I think he's at least marginally inspirational to his players and he seems like an honest man.

But he's got to change just about everything about his offensive coaching philosophy.
