- FOX10 News sources have told us Auburn will likely name Will Muschamp its new head coach sometime Friday. Muschamp was Auburn's defensive coordinator two years ago. WVUE in New Orleans first reported Muschamp would likely be the Tigers new coach.
This season he was on the sidelines as the Defensive Coordinator for the Texas Longhorns. He was also named as the Longhorns Head Coach in waiting.
jb, weren't you the one saying it was a done deal that Texas would play in the Sugar Bowl a week or so ago?

Call it 100 percent then. This all stems from when Muschamp was inititally contacted semi-informally about the Auburn job several weeks ago. That contact was, of course, what precipitated the whole "coach-in-waiting" gig at Texas, as they wanted to make sure to keep him around.
Some dumbass in the Mobile/Pensacola area was either out of the loop back then and just herd the rumors now, or they have powerful powers of wishful thinking.
Muschamp will not be going to Auburn.

Texas' Will Muschamp says he'll remain the head coach-in-waiting and not bolt for Auburn.
Texas defensive coordinator Will Muschamp said Friday he has no interest in other jobs and plans to stay with the Longhorns despite multiple reports he was on the verge of being named coach at Auburn University.
Muschamp, who last month was named the successor to coach Mack Brown at Texas, said he has not interviewed for any other jobs.
A television station in Mobile, Ala., reported Muschamp was set to replace Tommy Tuberville at Auburn.
“I have not interviewed for any jobs,” Muschamp said in a statement. “I’m not interested in any jobs. I’m happy here, my family loves Austin and I’m going to be at Texas.”
Brown does not plan to retire soon, and Muschamp has said he will wait for the Texas job.
Muschamp, who was the former defensive coordinator at Auburn, received a salary increase to $900,000, making him the highest-paid assistant coach in the country.

They got a Texas defensive coordinator. It just wasn't Muschamp. Chizik is a little more tightly wound than Tuberville was. Which if he doesn't have a stroke coaching in the SEC, he'll probably be alright. At least he's somebody who is familiar with the conference. But he needs to hire himself a dynamic offensive corrdinator if he wants to be successful. And recruiting a good QB wouldn't hurt either.
