Report: Muschamp now working for UGA

[Cockyandproud]

For 12 million I would.  

For 12 million, you could strip me naked, and paint me like a clown for the duration of the contract.

The contract followed a successful year and came at a time when programs were flush with cash. It is easy to criticize now that covid has changed the market and plunged programs deep into the red, but it made sense at the time.

If we had not bumped up the money and Boom had maintained the success over the next couple of years, we would have lost him to a bigger program. And Tanner would have been trashed for NOT getting off his pocketbook.

no one was coming and looking for him...i agree that COVID probably magnified the problem but I would love to lose a coach b/c they were successful as opposed to paying one this is/was an abject failure

The magnitude of what happened here is finally settling in.

There should have safeguards in his contract to prevent this from happening.

Shouldn't lawyers draft a contract to assure the school is protected? Someone truly dropped the ball on this!

Too bad Champ didn’t go the Gary Anderson route and deny his buyout.

We fired a coach and then his subordinates got better SEC/NFL gigs.  So he was doing something right if everyone he hired landed better jobs and my opinion on this whole thing is that it has been a total failure, firing him was one of the biggest mistakes we've ever made. 

I hope we get real lucky with Beamer, we're going to need it... but there really isn't anywhere to go but up.

The Gators would probably disagree with you about Muschamp.  LOL

The bottom line is he and his staff failed to develop talent across the board to win enough here and he's gone.

The players are undoubtedly coached about what to say in the pressers, but you have to believe enough were unhappy about losing so much that they are glad he's down the road.

I can be bitter about the lump sum buyout, but the honest truth is Muschamp probably stuck to his guns because he knew it was unlikely he would ever be a P5 HC ever again.

Also, the awful defenses here may have convinced a lot of people that the game may have left him behind and he's not the defensive guru everyone thought he was anymore.

Not sure how “there isn’t any where to go but up,” yet firing him was one of the biggest mistakes ever?  JMHO: the program was in a death spiral. Not sure how 2-8 left you feeling like firing the coach that produced that record was a horrible idea...but to each their own.

Your post is nothing but an indictment of the failings of muschamp yet it was a mistake...the only thing that matters is what they did under muschamp Ans it was lousy...muschamp  took full advantage of masking and robbed USC blind (tanner needs to go too)
