I guess we don't know for sure, but I have a hard time believing a guy with that kind of rapport with his players wouldn't recruit like mad. Add in that despite his occasional screw-ups (you're exactly right about that '06 Iron Bowl, where Tubby had that unmistakable WTF?!? look), the guy can coordinate a defense (in retrospect, holding Oklahoma to just 35 points was impressive), and he's an attractive candidate.<BR/><BR/>But no doubt he's much less of a known quality than some of the other alleged candidates. He'd be a gamble. But a better gamble than most, in my opinion.Jerry Hinnenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15097537044668238939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20559458.post-9418419707585468432008-12-04T14:18:00.000-05:002008-12-04T14:18:00.000-05:00J,I'm curious about one thing: is there any empiri...J,<BR/>I'm curious about one thing: is there any empirical evidence that Muschamp is actually any good?<BR/>Here are the things I know he's good at:<BR/>• Hanging around winners (Saban, Tuberville, Mack Brown).<BR/>• Jumping and down on the sidelines and calling people "motherf--kers." <BR/><BR/>On the other hand, I'm not so sure how good he is running a defense. Tuberville was always the actual DC at Auburn — even heard him say so prior to the '06 season — and Saban has always been the same wherever he went. If anything, his propensity for calling big blitzes at the wrong time hurt Auburn's defense as much as anything (I'm thinking of the '06 'Bama game specifically). And without looking it up, I can't say his Texas units are exactly lighting the world on fire — the 'Horns this season are basically the same group of speedy athletes in an "ALL O NO D" conference they've always been.<BR/><BR/>Of course, Saban, Tuberville and Brown all think very highly of him, which of course says something (those guys know a lot more about football than me). I just haven't seen one thing inparticular from him that makes me think, "Wow — the guy running this defense must be some kind of a mastermind."<BR/><BR/>dbhAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129235080749224440noreply@blogger.com
