I've gotten some info on this fwiw ... it's vague but here goes:

mUSChamp had a yardstick high stack of resumes on his desk. A lot of OCs and potential OCs want the job. He wanted someone who had OC experience.

He narrowed it down to four and has spent time focusing-on and talking-to those four. One in particular he was/is hoping to lure away from another program.

Decision has been made. We're waiting on the details of all the new contracts to be ironed-out between agents and our attorneys, our AD and Board of Trustees.

Boom is getting a nice raise but he sacrificed some to make more room for his assistants and this new hire and that's what's being worked-out ... who gets what cut and incentives built into T-Rob's, BMac's, Lance Romance's and the new OC's contracts.

Should be announcing pretty soon. It's all pretty-much done.

I will be the first to admit... I thought Muschamp was going to be the interim hire. He'd recruit well, last two, maybe three seasons, and then you'd get someone else.

Hell, I called him Moosechimp.

Well I was wrong. He was the right choice for you guys from the get go. I think he was handed a poisoned chalice at Florida and what he went through matured him a great deal as a coach.

If you land a good OC then I think y'all will be just fine going forward.
