http://www.fox10tv.com/dpp/sports/MuschampCouldBeGoingToAuburn wtf?! why hasnt this been on the news, just saw on ESPN NEWS that he'll most likely go?
I'm not sure this is true HOWEVER, if it is true, as a texas fan, I would be totally crushed. He is the best thing to happen to Texas for a very long time
Anyone who takes the Auburn job is likely doomed to failure with Saban at Alabama. I think he would be making a mistake.
It would be hilarious. The man would do an about face in what less than two weeks? What happened to my family loves it in Austin? I was listening to 1560 this morning and they were like how come the Statesman doesn't have this story? LMAO.
One thing for sure is this story will break one way or the other very soon today. If Muschamp is staying at UT, he will need to say so quickly to douse the fire before it burns him. If he drags this thing out, that's a sign he's gone.
Why would it be an about-face? He's currently the head-coach-in-waiting - that could be 5-10 years or longer. But that doesn't preclude him from taking a head coaching offer right now. He coached at Auburn last year - at the time the UT announcement was made, the Auburn job wasn't open. Maybe he loves Auburn too.
Umm, actually it looks great. It's one random podunk TV station in the middle of nowhere. This is no different than the report two weeks ago that Leach was set to become the Auburn coach, when in reality he hadn't even spoken with them. From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution this morning: http://www.ajc.com/blogs/content/shared-blogs/ajc/cfb/entries/2008/12/12/its_payday_for.html Maybe because the Statesman is an actual, reputable newspaper that reports news, instead of a random bum**** TV station in the middle of nowhere with no credibility? Consider the sources, people.
From Tony Barnhart, Mr. College Football 1. Will Muschamp will not the be the next coach at Auburn: I just got off the phone with Will Muschamp, the defensive coordinator and head coach in waiting at Texas. He emphatically shot down television reports in Mobile that he would be the named the next coach at Auburn today. “I have not talked to Auburn about this job and I have no interest in the job,” said Muschamp. “I really don’t know what else to say. I’m going to stay at Texas until they fire me.” My sources tell me that some Board of Trustee members did pick up the phone and call Muschamp to find out if he was interested. But those sources also tell me that when Muschamp was at Auburn as DC, he and athletics director Jay Jacobs did not part on the best of terms.
