Muschamp interviewed with Houston

[LongviewLobo01]

That's a shocking development.

Why is it shocking?  

He spent a couple of years in TX and knows the landscape.  Who can UH get that'd be better than Coach Boom?

said in the other thread...winner, winner. UH's last coach was some guy named tony levine. Muschamp at least brings a little gracitas to the job and it's a good place for him to rebuild his image without the pressure of 'big time' expectations.

Yep. It's also a far better option than going back to being a DC. Now he can learn to be a HC without necessarily learning on the fly with the fact that his expectations will be much lower. That said, I think it's much easier to be a HC at a lower tier school with a gimmick offense than a strong defense.

Shocking just because I didn't expect Houston to be able to go out and possibly get a guy like Muschamp. Usually they get solid coordinator's with ties to Texas. Guys like Tom Herman, who's also been rumored.

This would be a great place for Muschamp to resurrect his career. Solid recruiting base and a relatively soft conference. Get a solid OC to come with him and open it up on that side of the ball and there ya go. He could be winning 10-11 games a year in short time and then get a better job from there. Remember, the last two coaches before Levine were Briles and Sumlin and both parlayed success at UH to better gigs. I could see him winning there and then getting back into the SEC in a couple of years if a guy like Spurrier retired or someone gets let go or moves on.

Potential landing spot for Major as OC?

Wouldn't shock me. . . 

Tom Herman I think will land a better gig than UH. . .

Frankly unless Michigan thinks they can tap Harbaugh. . . . If I'm then, I suck it up and get Herman. ..

I could potentially see Miles taking the Michigan job and then Herman taking the LSU spot.

A step down for sure but as has been said this might be a good place for him to start over and not have real high expectations coming in.  I wish coach Boom good luck!

Potential UH degree of separation in this comparison  .....

2 mil a year to coach the Cougars after being fired from the Florida job isn't too bad of a deal.

That new stadium at UH is really nice too. Plus they serve beer!

 

[Juan]

I could see that being a part of Coach Boom's contract negotiations

"I get 15% of all net beer sales above the baseline established in the 2014 season."

Is it a done deal?

 

[Juan]

It has been suggested its down to UH or Auburn DC jobs, decision shortly

Yeah, I always thought he would have been better served being a HC at a place like this where there is less pressure than Florida/Texas. At the same time, can't blame him for taking the chance when Florida offered.

 

[primal defense]

I rather he coach UH then help a SEC team such as Auburn. The UH coaching job has proven that it can lead to better jobs. If he does take the job, just don't hire Charlie Weiss as your OC.

 

[dillohorn]

I kind of figured he'd stay in the sec. I'd think Auburn before HC at UH.

HC (and more money is being reported) vs DC? 

Pretty much a no brainer. . . 

Granted DC on a much bigger stage. . . .
