Now that the Hoke news is official, A&M should be going after Mattison (Michigan's D.C.). He's not the splash that Muschamp is, but he'd do a heckuva job. Besides, A&M doesn't need a splash, they need a defense,

Auburn and S. Carolina also looking for DCs.  As is Wash St, (not that they matter.)  I'm sure there are some others as well that will come open. 

Aggie is in a tough spot right now.

Is the Pirate safe up there? Had a rough finish after losing that QB. Back up didn't look very promising. And yea, they need defense in the worst way. I thought Leach would be further along.

Pirate is very safe.  WSU doesn't fire coaches except like once every three decades, W/L record be damned.  He will be just fine.  It's just a slow process.

Auburn didn't waste any time. As per their Rivals site, they offered Muschamp the DC job.

Report: Will Muschamp Offered Auburn Defensive Coordinator Jobby Jack Jorgensen

 1h ago

The Auburn Tigers have reportedly extended an offer to Will Muschamp to run the defense on the Plains.  
The Auburn Tigers are in need of a defensive coordinator, and apparently former Florida head coach Will Muschamp is on the top of their list. According to a report Wednesday from AuburnSports.com, the Tigers have already extended an offer to Muschamp and he is seriously considering taking the deal.

At this time, the terms of the offer have not been disclosed.

After giving up over 50 points to Alabama in their Iron Bowl loss, Auburn parted ways with defensive coordinator Ellis Johnson. However, it wasn’t just that one game that did him in, rather it was the ineffectiveness of the defense virtually the entire season.

Muschamp coached his last game as the head coach of Florida this past Saturday in the loss to rival Florida State. When word came out a few weeks ago that he would not be returning to Gainesville as the head coach, the speculation was that he would go back to what made him a hot name in the first place, and that’s coordinating a defense.

One thing is for sure and that’s while the terms of the offer haven’t been made public, this is going to be a lucrative one, given what a hot commodity Muschamp is as a defensive coordinator.

IMO, South Carolina is a better fit for Coach Boom.

He can be Spurrier's "Associate HC/DC" and be well-positioned to inherit the throne soon when the Ol' Ball Coach retires. Gamecocks offense is more pro-style, too, so his D probably won't be on the field as long.

Anyone but aggie

True, BUT.....when Spurrier retires, there's no reason Muschamp cannot throw his name in the hat for that job at that time, regardless of where he goes now.

Also, keep in mind that he has several ties to Auburn, from relatives attending school there, to (I believe,) a brother that coaches HS in/near Auburn, a mom that lives near there, his wife likes Auburn, and (I believe,) he has a home in or near Auburn.   Finally, Auburn has a large checkbook and from what I understand they're not afraid to open it on up and start writing 0's.

I'd call them the clubhouse leader at this point.

Aggy fans seem to be pretty confident they are in serious contention for muschamp

Aggy fans seem to be pretty confident they are in serious contention for muschamp

They are also confident that:

• They run this state
• They've won more National Championships than just 1939.
• The only reason they're not playing us in any sport during regular season is because we are scared of them.
• Sheep enjoy their company.
• There are no off-the-field problems with their football team.
• Their dead dogs can actually see the scoreboard above their graves.
• Their stadium is always full, regardless of the empty seats shown on TV.
• A jar of jizz is somehow a sign of strength to beat Texas.
• Their "traditions" are not cult-ish.
• They never leave early from their games.
• They are God's gift to ________ (insert any subject)
• People are impressed with class ring tapping.
• Squeezing one's nuts during a game helps their team win.
• Whooping and Hissing are acceptable forms of response in public places and houses of worship.

Feel free to add, as I'm 100% positive I've missed a few. 

Nonetheless, their confidence has a history of being misplaced. It's a pattern.

They act like they are a top tier program. They've had one "decent" season in 20 years and act like they've won multiple titles. Oh but next year is their year! Give me a break.

LOL, its funny how aggy forgets the insulting things Boom had to say about college station while at Florida.

 

[joeywa]

Interesting rumor floating around the Nebraska job right now; Arkansas HC Bret Bielema. 

The hog fans will torch Fayette-nam if this happens.  And it also adds a bit of a twist to the Muschamp job search.  Would he take Arky?

Jim McElwain to FL looks like it is close to a done deal.

I just can't see Bielema leaving Arkansas for Nebraska. I've been wrong before though.

I'm still one of those people who think's Nebraska is a top tier program. Sure, they've had fits in the Pelini ERA but it's still a pretty notable program. Not to mention, Lincoln is considered one of the best places to catch a D1 game. They have plenty of tradition and winning history behind them. So I don't know, I'm not all that shocked. I'd actually like to see Nebraska start competing again. Despite their unflattering comments about our favorite University over the past few years.

 

[joeywa]

I think it's a great move for him.  He takes his run-based offense to Nebraska and Big10, where it would get them back to the old way Nebraska fans are used to seeing them play.  He would get away from the SEC, where Arky doesn't have much of a chance of competing with the behemoths of that conference.  And he'd have a legit shot at bringing Nebraska back into national title contention.  

 

[utisdabomb12]

Bielema has spent 2 years struggling like no other at Arkansas and he finally seems to have them on the right track. Does he really want to start over again? 

I firmly believe Arkansas can compete for the SEC West next year when you look at what they return on defense. If they get average QB play they can finish in the top tier IMO.
