Really, how could he not have? I mean, just think about how different our season would be if we had actually rolled the dice and hired someone.

Two factors, and this isn't speculation. I'm not even saying I agree, but this is what happened.

1. The 2012 Season
2. The Injuries

The machinery to hire a new OC went into motion after we lost to Vandy for HC last year. From what I understand, the admin pretty much said they were giving Muschamp a mulligan at that point, but changes had to be made to the offensive staff. Even after GSU, everyone stuck to that plan. I had been told prior that, "Yeah, even if GSU somehow won, his job would be safe."

I suspect he is toast, but that doesn't mean that he will be dismissed Monday. My guess is that if it doesn't come Monday, it won't until after FSU. That doesn't mean things may not go into motion though. It was explained to me that the kind of money that hires coaches, even assistants, doesn't just become available over night. The university has to sign off on certain things as well despite the UAA being somewhat separate.

It's possible that nothing publicly happens but privately they start creating and approving a budget for a new hire. Of course, none of us would know that was going on, and the people that do it are not the blowhard types.

Now I know absolutely 0 as to what is really happening. I wanted to explain why he was probably kept (and I assume I was told correct information based on the way things played out), and I also wanted to explain the university's roll a bit.
