Muschamp Contract Extension
- Thread starter Bongsummers
- Start date
Muschamp has done a lot with a little bit. In time he will get us to greater heights. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither are successful football programs. He’s been more successful than Spurrier was in his first three years. He’s a recruiting machine. I like the direction he’s leading us. And I support the contract extension. I definitely support Muschamp.
your post makes logical sense especially if you are buying tickets to "anyone else's" games
I honestly do not think we should fire him. Neither should we laud
his mediocrity as if the many, many 3 *'s were the apex of recruiting success. Once again all the driveling platitudes which are being cast on him as if he were a pastor in a church of snake handlers seem to be just a bit over the top. I am no fan of Jimbo Fisher but I think his 2ND recruiting year at A&M deserves this type of recognition. But I am willing to admit my ignorance re recruiting prowess.
I think Muschamp is 'safe' for USC as far as turnover at his position (HC) is concerned as well as his 'core' coaching staff. The real bonus we have in Boom is that he has a fire in his belly. The names of the stokers are Kirby Smart (nothing personal), UGA and the 'Bull Gators' (big time donors) at UF. I don't think he'll rest until he's given them all their due - BUT you'll never hear him mention this matter or refer to it in any way.

Yep, if you look closely, Dabo has hammered us five in a row
but you are very astute in your observation
It could indicate a twisted evaluation of a really weird warp in reality which has encircled our dimension sorta like the twilight zone ?
That’s not how these things work. If USC needed a new head coach, that coach’s value in the market will drive his salary, not what the previous coach was making.
Tennessee would have been happy to have him last year during their desperate search for a coach. Plus, he beats them like a rented mule.
Not so sure about that. Vandy has been beating UT too and I don't know if their fans would be pleased with hiring Mason.

Then why prejudge this class based solely off of recruitniks and sports writers opinions? Maybe you should wait until you see what they can do on the field.But I am willing to admit my ignorance re recruiting prowess.
So did UK, which is a huge testament to how far the team fell before CWM arrived. It’s a long process. Boom is making progress.Yep, if you look closely, Dabo has hammered us five in a row
It takes time.
If you are to take Tanner at his word he stated he did not want to worry about CWM leaving.
With that said has anyone heard about other schools making serious overtures to Muschamp. I'm not aware of any.
If that indeed was the true reason for the contract extension, then I would question the wisdom of this business decision.

Yeah? And what are you?Yep, if you look closely, Dabo has hammered us five in a row
I think the term realist is applicable here as opposed to someone suffering from delusions of grandeur.
cheating includes being smart enough to understand the skinny...I've seen no evidence of that here....
UK is continuing the streak.... go take an asprin then lie down and count to six
but everyone says that is in the weak acc...so now it means something...hmmmm, just ain't never happy...
and who was their toughest competition in the ACC at that time? Ga Tech. That's how bad the ACC was back then, not that its better now but Ga Tech was the cream of the crop. They were winning ACC titles and we were 3 TDs better than them.
How many winning seasons did they have and what was their bowl record? What good is it if you beat a ranked team and turn around and have a losing record? The year before Muschamp took over we were 3-9. Did you expect a coach to come in and have us winning a NC the next season? There's nothing wrong with demanding excellence but you're expecting miracles. The team has improved each season under Muschamp and as long as we continue to see improvement you're not going to see him going anywhere. If Muschamp were to be fired right now, there's not a reputable coach that would even consider coming here. We might as well ask Shawn Elliot to come back.
and honestly, that contract extension doesn't mean that the coach will be here for the duration of it. If things went bad, I don't care how many years were left on the contract, he'd be out of here.

What a lot of people seem to still fail to realize about recruiting is that it really is about location. Texas A&M is in a state rich with talent. They could exclusively recruit from their home state and still have top 10 classes almost every year. In the state of SC, according to rivals there were 4 kids with a 4 star or better rating. That's it. We have to be able to hit neighboring states to do well and it's a lot harder to do that without success on the gridiron. Clemson is doing it because of their success over the last 10 seasons. We may not be where a lot of us had hoped in recruiting but it's still not bad and this year we needed defensive linemen bad and we hit that area the hardest and it should pay dividends real soon. I was worried about BMac but he has shown us some innovation on offense and I like the direction we are headed there. We were all disappointed with the way the defense played this year and if there isn't a dramatic improvement then some changes will need to be made.I honestly do not think we should fire him. Neither should we laud

It doesn't really matter. The weak conference served their purposes, and while competing in that environment, Dabo built a team capable of not only reaching the playoff, but winning it. They were both charmed on the one hand, but also became capable on the other.
funny you should mention this since jillions of posts have expounded upon the theory that our success/failure is dependant on in-state success in recruiting. hummh! I wonder which it is. By the by, I heartily agree with your closing assessment.
It all starts in state. You want to win the local guys first and we got the guys we wanted from our state. I think I heard we were 4 for 4 on the guys we offered. The biggest of those 2 were Zacc and Cam. I was also reading where a lot of people think that Cam is a fringe 5 star guy. He's supposed to be really good. I think our top guys in this class are better than they have been in the past.
It’s hard to lean on in state too much. We have so many non qualifiers that it can sabotage your effort. Have to be picky.
just wondering...i'd like for the experts on here to make up their minds... it just seems that often the stated opinions here waver like wind blown tree limbs... I guess it is ok to vacillate though... it's kinda like you might and you might not...that way you pretty much tag all your bases and since you don't really ever retract any statement, you can smile benignly
thank you for your time
