Muschamp Contract Extension

[Bongsummers]

Ray Tanner is worried that someone will come in and steal Muschamp.

“I don’t want to be in a situation where I worry about him leaving. I’ll just leave it at that,” Tanner said then. “I really respect and admire the way that coach Muschamp runs his program. We are doing very well in football.”

This is a quote the day after the Clemson game.

Smh....

 

[ConKreteCock]

Seriously, Ray's gotta go. Champ has 1 win against top 25 teams and can't beat freakin' Kentucky. No matter how that is spun the bottom line is unacceptable.

Dabo lost 5 in a row to us

Dabo lost 5 in a row to us

But they either won or played for an ACC title all those years, and appeared in some big bowls, so that was his "out". The SEC ain't gonna work out that well for us.

 

[Bongsummers]

Dabo lost 5 in a row to us

Dabo was also winning championships and finishing in the top 10 during the same period. The two situations are not comparable.

"We are doing very well in football."

Calm down there, Ray. Last I checked we had a better football record last year. The offense appears to be improving but that's about it. I do like the recruiting class coming in. But I wouldn't worry about anyone stealing Muschamp away as a head coach. That's concerning if Ray is throwing out raises for mediocre production and is worried about losing Muschamp. Will must be laughing all the way to the bank.

 

[South Cack]

OK, fire every fu***** body and close the program.

It's an indicator of what our standard is going to be around here in football. It's inadequate.

As purely a business decision, it makes no sense.

 

[zack#]

get the taters out of here.

 

[gville898]

As purely a business decision, it makes no sense.

Ray's terrified that somebody may come in and poach Muschamp, which would force him to hire another football coach. We all saw how that played out when Ray had a 3 month head start.

 

[Bongsummers]

OK, fire every fu***** body and close the program.

There is a middle ground between firing everybody and giving contract extensions.

 

[sclawman77]

There is a middle ground between firing everybody and giving contract extensions.

Yeah, you reward improvement.

 

[robertfootball]

Just don't up the buyout and have a Gus situation and I guess we could stomach a 2 year extension.

 

[rogue cock]

No it's not....it's an indication that Tanner likes the direction the program is heading not that he is satisfied with the immediate results.

 

[king ward]

I'll go on record right now as saying that, as long as the program wins more than it loses, even if little more, Ray will not move against Muschamp.

 

[Carolina4]

I don’t think this is a big deal. Pretty common to do this. Have to have your coaches under contract for 5 years just to be able to recruit. Tanner can be criticized for some things but this was certainly going to happen.

Muschamp has a better record in the 1st three years than Holts, Spurrier, or Dabo.......damn dude give the coach a chance.......He was left with nothing.....

 

[king ward]

I'm good with it.

 

[rogue cock]

You are wasting your time. He simply does not like Muschamp....we should've hired unnamed SuperCoach.

 

[South Cack]

I'm good with it.

I'm sure you are

 

[king ward]

I'm sure you are

Go big or go home.

 

[gamecocks247]

Do I think he deserves an extension or raise, no, I don't think mediocrity should be rewarded. But in the end I don't care about extensions or raises as long as the buyout has not increased on our end.

 

[bostonsc]

1. Muschamp is doing a great job. I wasn't happy when we hired him but I am now. Our program is absolutely headed in the right direction. Those who only point to the record are short sighted. We had luck on our side in 17 and won more games than we should have. This year we had every bounce go against us and we still put together a good (but not great) season. This year very easily could have turned into a Tennessee type dumpster fire but the team fought hard and got 7 going on 8 wins. Then when you add in all of the returning injured players and our strong class coming in we are looking at second place in the SEC East and a top 20 season next year.
2. You have to do this for recruiting. Otherwise other coaches would use it against us saying Muschamp won't be around for long. It also acts as good marketing because it makes it look like other schools are trying to steal Muschamp. Whether that is true or not doesn't matter. Perception is reality.

Where's the dissatisfaction in "we are doing very well in football?"

 

[rogue cock]

Where's the dissatisfaction in "we are doing very well in football?"

It doesn't indicate satisfaction or dissatisfaction in the current record. It just indicates that he is happy with the overall progress in the program.....as am I.

 

[Debbo4Heisman]

Dabo lost 5 in a row to us

Yes but he was also winning 10 games a year and going to BCS bowls during that time. A lot different

 

[Horseshoe 04]

Skai Moore isn’t walking through that door ( to lead our program in INT & tackles)!

I want some progress on D in the Belk close out sale bowl & 2019!

 

[Horseshoe 04]

His raise is sitting on the sidelines in Gainsville, they/he left it there

 

[robertfootball]

Do I think he deserves an extension or raise, no, I don't think mediocrity should be rewarded. But in the end I don't care about extensions or raises as long as the buyout has not increased on our end.

Yeah we don't want to get into a situation like Gus and Allbarn are in!

 

[SMwilly brice]

Muschamp is doing better than I expected after taking over a 3 win team.

 

[robertfootball]

New contract terms: Beat Clemson, collect $500k extra and $100k extra for each assistant.

[jake4290]

Ray got used and abused by 3 coaches, all of whom shared the same agent, when he hired Muschamp. Nobody was interested in hiring Muschamp as a head coach then, and nobody is interested in coming in and stealing him now.

Ray was a heckuva baseball coach, but he is in way over his head as an AD. You do not reward mediocrity. Who have we beaten that was highly ranked at the time we played them? Nobody!

 

[king ward]

Muschamp is doing better than I expected after taking over a 3 win team.

So, what were your expectations?

 

[ConKreteCock]

You are wasting your time. He simply does not like Muschamp....we should've hired unnamed SuperCoach.

Champ is what...?.....1 for 412 in beating top 25 teams?

At SOME POINT you are forced to do the math. A simple good luck / bad luck scenario would have him closer to 50 / 50 in wins and losses in those games. Winning only ONE indicates he cannot coach to save his life and it cannot be spun any other way.

Now, throw in the inexcusable and unacceptable losses to UK and the writing is on the wall. I'll say it again: Neither Ray nor Champ will be here in 2 years because the fact of the matter is neither one of them can get it done. Sunshine pump away....doesn't change the facts.

 

[SMwilly brice]

So, what were your expectations?

I didnt expect to win enough games to get a bowl invite in year one.
Did not expect 9 wins in year two. Beating Michigan was a great way to start the New Year.
Year 3 went nearly as expected. I knew before the season started the SEC East would be tougher than 2017.

 

[jimnasium]

So, what were your expectations?

His expectations are more realistic after 3 years than yours are. Tanner must not be reading your posts because Muschamp got an extension and he didn't call you once. You want everybody fired and start over so you can whine about that new coach too. Do you live your life this way too man?

I'll reserve that praise for when he starts beating ranked teams and challenging for the East.
