Muschamp was mentored by the best of that group, Saban, as well as Mack Brown. That has not turned out well. Hopefully, it will. But, it has not yet. Who a coach has been mentored by means nothing if you can't produce on the field. Muschamp has yet to produce, being fired by Florida and being on the "hot seat" here. And as said, Stoops has said he erred in firing Heupel. Dabo soured on Napier and ran him off. But, I too like Napier. When all the smoke has cleared, not only has Heupel won 85% of his games, BUT , he took a group of far less talented players and won 60% of his games against Power 5 schools and coming close to being 5-0 against them. The fact that Yahoo Sports lists him in the upper tier of young Head Coaches in the nation, speaks volumes to me and to most on this thread. But, there's no opening now. And, hopefully, Muschamp will do well enough to make that a moot point. But, if an opening does develop, none of us have confidence in Tanner to pick anyone as highly regarded as either Heupel or Napier.
