Let the UGA fans crow all they want. They wanted Muschamp as DC when Van Gorder left, but WM told them NO.
I think it would be hysterical if we hired a mutt to beat them. Not only would we prove we are better than them on the field, but smarter too. Plus the hatred they would have for our coach would be so relentless, he'd instantly become a GT fan favorite.
Ugag's defense has come on very strong with a bunch of young guys. Plus their team abused Muschamp's defenses. Don't kid yourself if you think they want him as I am sure they're none too pleased with who they have.
Thats all fine...I want to know about OFFENSE! Score a lot of points, put people in the stands! If he was it then I would have to guess that he has some OC that has the scheme to be exciting and score points otherwise, a fiery good defensive guy will win 7-8 games like we have and not put any more people in the stands than we have now. Just my opinion.Auburn's offense had 5 turnovers, that had little to do with Muschamp's defense. Oh by the way, Muschamp's defense was easily in the TOUGHEST conference in the country and managed to be ranked #8 overall.

Last year his defense was ranked #7. He's slipping some. Especially when he was with LSU and his defense was ranked #1.
I agree WM is a good def coach however, having top 10 talent, which AUB and LSU, do have certainly helps!Auburn's offense had 5 turnovers, that had little to do with Muschamp's defense.

I think you would not like Tenuta so much if there was a youtube video of him during a game.
I've already heard some crap from mutt fans about hiring one of their own as our coach.
I assume that Muschamp's biggest pluses would be recruiting and the energy he brings to the game. What are his other strengths?

Why would Saban bring him to the NFL in top position if he was only a screamer and a recruiter.
i think both Tenuta and Muschamp have the personality to be great coordinators, like Bud Foster, neither IMO would be a good choice for HC
im not opposed to profanity, and yes i have played and been involved in many sports, including football
there is a time and a place for everything. to me, a coach that can ice you with a stare has more staying power over the long run than one with all the screaming and antics. to me, that is not 'energizing the program' that is more like acting like a child when you should be the leader
I keep hearing this More Qualified hmmmmmmmmmm.If Muschamp gets hired it will not be b/c of the YouTube video. I can't believe some of you think he will be hired just b/c he yells.
Some of you if you were bosses would probably even give a job to a less qualified GT candidate when a more qualified UGAy candidate is available
if you think they way you do in regards to this situation. Get over yourselves.
Making fun of them and beating them on the field is all I want.
As I hung out with the mutt nation at a Christmas party last night and had to endure the losses by WV and Mizz., it bring to the forefront the importance of this hire.
I know I have been a strong advocate for Hatcher and that has not changed. I still think he is the guy. Having said that, reality is that unless several of these people refuse or change their minds, he won't be the hire. That's my first diappointment and frustration.
My second is that I just have a hard time believing that Muschamp is the right hire. With what Dems says, however, it is looking that way. I can tell you that their will be a strong segment of the alum that don't like him immediatley due to age, mutt background or the fact that he seemingly can make a sailor blush with his fowl mouth. I still don't see the facination with him. I can almost assure you that he is not more qualified than others in speculation.
Face it, anytime at LSU was spent as a yes man to Saban as we know he calls the shots on the defensive side of the ball.
Also, he has not been anywhere that required the taking of lesser talent and winning over a peroid of time. He seems to me to be much more likey to use GT to get a SEC job ASAP. Hatch seems more likely to want to stay in Ga. and build our program.
Recruiting is a must but the mutt nation can tell you it's not all, see Ray Gooff. I know I am rambling here but I don't see the reason to hire Muschamp when Hatcher is more qualifed and has the same talents and obviously more HC experience. I am not against a Coordinator but when there is a guy with as much talent sitting there with the HC experience, it doesn't make much sense to me.
Don't discount the skills Hatch has developed as a HC that Mus would have to develop along with everything else.
Also, get ready for the mutts to scream that we need to get one of there's to even have a chance at beating them. I freakin hate UGA.
