Back on the coaching grind: Will Muschamp reportedly working for Georgia
While most folks would probably take a long break from working if they were set to receive a hefty buyout after being laid off like the one Will Muschamp has coming to him from South Carolina (the coach’s buyout is expected to be around $15.5 million), most football coaches are just wired differently than the rest of us.
Case in point, Muschamp is already back on the coaching grind at his alma mater.
That’s the word out of Athens as Chip Towers of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is reporting that Muschamp has been spotted entering Georgia’s football complex on a daily basis this week and even appears to have a parking spot assigned to him on campus.
It’s unclear what role Muschamp has within Kirby Smart’s program but Georgia currently has an opening after secondary coach Charlton Warren left the Bulldogs to become the new defensive coordinator at Indiana this week.
For what it’s worth, Muschamp’s son, Jackson Muschamp, followed in his father’s footsteps and is a walk-on quarterback at Georgia. Last season was Jackson’s first season with the Bulldogs.
UPDATE: Georgia has responded to this story and noted that Muschamp is not an employee of the school at this time. The official statement from Georgia reads “Will Muschamp is not currently employed at the University of Georgia.”
Who’s that coming down the track!?
Another proven loser to the red and black.
Imagine being so completely wrong about so much and then still having the gall to strut around and talk trash.
Hey troll, go find a bridge somewhere else! He may be an assistant coach, advisor whatever. Bama has been a home for dismissed coaches, to obviously good result. Chill!
Boxster was talking to the lsu troll, not about Muschamp
FFG and negan are cut from the same cloth. Both are miserable fans of their school but at least FFG is short winded and to the point. negan goes on and on about the same useless crap and never shuts up.
LOL
FantasyCoonAassFool
I hear Mike Leach whistling for his bytches, you better run along now.
@FantasyfootballFAKE………..Who’s coming to LSU? NOBODY unless they like getting screwed by A PROVEN CHEATER!!!!!! I’ll take a proven loser any day over a proven CHEATER!!!!!!
Say, coach O and the players haven’t been to the hospital lately, have they? To pickup their paychecks and STEROIDS?????
You just showed your football IQ!!!! Muschamp has always been regarded as one of the best defensive minds in the game. Kirby Smart being THE BEST!!!! At least people don’t have to get a translator to understand the English he speaks!!!! Coach O is sooooo backwoods and stupid. That even the people who sleep in the swamps think he is a hick!!!!!
You’ll be on probation very very soon. Probably be stripped of that FAKE CHAMPIONSHIP YOU WON! As for Muschamp. It ain’t easy to win at SC!!! Even Spurrier quit mid season. I suppose he can’t coach either?
PS. UGA is clearly already better than LSU! We are set to do great things next season. What is LSU set to do? Get hit with the death penalty maybe????? CHEATERS!!!!!
King Negan
After LSU went from the penthouse to the outhouse in one year, you should know what a loser really is Fantasy.
An LSU fan who is almost as dumb as his head coach shows up first to comment. Lol. Coach O would be lucky if he could hire Muschamp as a DC. Nobody wants the DC job at LSU because they know the ship is sinking fast.
Just what UGA doesn’t need. Muschamp. Was glad to see him go before, we don’t need him back. I don’t care where he goes, just go!
I mean Butch Jones didn’t seem to hurt Bama’s chances I don’t think having muschamp around the program is going to send it cratering.
Need him back? If I’m not mistaken he hasn’t been at UGA since he was a player.
This guy is such a fraud and doesn’t deserve to coach past high school. this is just good ol boys lookin out for one another
I mean he’s likely working as analyst and making about the same as a HS coach but ok.
Yeah except for the cool $15,000,000 we are giving him to not coach anymore. I’m sure you’d be cool if the roles were reversed and SC had just hired Kirby after he was fired for underperforming. Going to a rival directly after is a scumbag move even if it is his alma mater. Take a year at the very least, but its apparent the man has no dignity.
Good defensive coach but just not a good HC.
Could laze around as a rich man but chooses to work instead = no dignity. Strange set of standards you have there.
@mountain dog
Fine, then have him give up the $15 million. He’s being paid not to coach, so he shouldn’t be doing it (calling him an ‘analyst’ is BS). Would you think the same if the situation was reversed and it was Kirby at SC instead? I doubt it
Willybob, he’s being paid not to coach at S. Carolina. If UGA decided to fire Kirby and S. Carolina hired him I really wouldn’t care, I mean if we fired him it means we didn’t want him anymore anyway.
Muschamp is getting what he’s owed per the contract agreed to and signed by USC. I don’t know a single person that would give up $15M owed to them regardless of them working or not. Take a step back into reality. If you want to be mad at someone, be mad at USC for giving Muschamp that contract. Sounds like a good business move on Muschamp’s part. Just ask Spurrier … “Well, he’s not going away empty-pocketed. He knows how to get big contracts, I’ll tell you that,” Spurrier told Mike Gillespie of ABC-Columbia.
You’re absolutely right I would be cool with it. The guy is presumably going to his Alma mater where one of his friends is the HC and his son is on the team to help out and collect a little extra cash.
Most people would have suggested South Carolina to never hire Muschamp as a HC after his stint at UF. But they did. Most people wouldn’t have suggested they give him the contract they did with this large of a buyout. But they did. I just don’t know what you want from the guy.
If you gave me $15M to not work for you, I’m in no way obligated to do whatever is best for you. And you certainly couldn’t convince me that hanging out with my son and a friend and doing a little work was showing a lack of dignity. I just think you’re frustrated at the wrong people.
He is getting 15 million because of your AD’s stupidity. He can work anywhere because you fired him. Don’t complain, your school set all of this up.
Calling him an analyst isn’t BS since that’s precisely what he’ll be doing. Reviewing tape, scouting future opponents, giving feedback about UGA’s roster, etc.
That is, of course, if he’s employed. That has yet to be actually confirmed, though this article does imply it.
And stepping on south Carolina along the way. We might beat Beamer by 60!!!!! I think he is way overrated. One of yours said. UGA never makes it to the national championship without Beamer on our staff. UMM REALLY? HOW SO???? What did he do. That was so great????
Shane Beamer ain’t his family member!!! He will get FIRED long before Muschamp did. SC players are just pu$$ys with the exception of a handful. They can’t take hard coaching!
Y’all have a few elite players I wouldn’t mind seeing at UGA! Maybe they will read this. Follow your coach young men to UGA and become NFL PLAYERS!!! Ditch the Beamer experiment!!!!
PS. Commit to the G!!!!
King Negan
He will probably be ok as an assistant, not HC material
As an analyst, I think Muschamp could be an asset to UGA.
Still a mystery to me how the Gamecock D was so bad at times.
Jimmys and Joes mean FAR MORE in CFB than Xs and Os.
It is the ultimate axiom of this modern CFB era.
Honestly Muschamp kinda had his whole career marred when he took the Florida job. Urban Meyer left a real hot mess at Florida. Then an X Georgia bulldog was hired to clean it all up. What chance did Muschamp have at Florida? NONE!!!! Because he had no wiggle room. Back then especially for an X dawg it was NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP OR BUST!!! With their best QB being a former 5 star recruit who was a bust!!!! Jeff Driscoll was his name I think.
But more than half that team didn’t want Muschamp there in the first place!!!! You don’t usually go to Florida to be COACHED BY AN X GEORGIA BULLDAWG AKA THE ENEMY!!! Not to mention a dawg with a FAMOUS TEMPER!!!!! So a dawg they already probably hated. Yelling in their face probably didn’t make them grow tender feelings.
Yet, I distinctly remember a fairly CRAPY FLORIDA team that couldn’t throw the football. And their run game had been just average at best. YET AGAINST UGA THEY DID NOTHING BUT RUN THE BALL RIGHT AT US ALL DAY!!! I THINK THEY HAD CLOSE TO 500 YARDS ON THE GROUND!!!!!!! DOING PRETTY MUCH THE EXACT SAME RUN PLAYS ALL DAY!!! THEY WON ON THAT DAY!!!
IT WAS ONE OF THE FEW GAMES THEY LOOKED TRULY INSPIRED!!!!
Now you see. What I’m thinking is that as much as that team hated playing for Muschamp. They hated losing to UGA EVEN WORSE!!!! Being the smart guy I know he is. He may have used reverse psychology on his team. Realizing he could pass worth a flip. He probably told them we’re not throwing. We’re going to run all day and these few run plays win or lose!!!! BECAUSE HE KNEW THE TEAM WOULD TAKE IT. THAT HE WAS TRYING TO LET UGA WIN!!!! THAT THEY WOULD NOT ONLY RUN ANGRY BUT BLOCK ANGRY TOO!!!! AND PLAY DEFENSE WITH THEIR HAIR ON FIRE!!!! AND LO AND BEHOLD. THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY DID!!!!!!
BUT HIS DAYS AT FLORIDA WERE ALREADY NUMBERED AND HE NEVER HAD A FAIR CHANCE!!!!!
That failure at Florida as it was perceived. Has followed him ever since!!! From that day forward. In the eyes of most of college football. He was just a defensive coordinator turned head coach. That really wasn’t good enough. And he has dealt with that ever since!!!!! AND ITS NOT FAIR!!!!
ATTENTION WILL MUSCHAMP:
If you happen to read this. Please take some sound advice! STAY AT UGA! HELP UGA WIN A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE YOU EVEN THINK OF TAKING ANOTHER JOB!!! If we win one next season. I’m sure you’ll again be called by someone to come rebuild their hot mess of a program! BUT DON’T!!!!! Wait if it takes YEARS!!! Wait for the right team and the right program. That would be a team with a built in talent base! Some talent already on the team. Somewhere that doesn’t hate you!!!
I honestly believe you need to stay put for a few years. Let people see that Beamer isn’t the second coming of Saban, Kirby or Urban at SC!!! He is perceived well now. But give it a while. Allow people time to forget the mess you were forced to leave behind that again wasn’t your fault!!!! MY OPINION YOU MADE ONE BIG MISTAKE. THAT WAS HIRING BOBO! He’s a good enough guy I guess. But when he put Hillinsky on the bench in favor of his guy. I knew right then and there it wouldn’t work!!! Bobo’s offense didn’t work at UGA but a few times and never under pressure!!!
We always had an elite QB, ELITE RUNNING GAME AND GREAT TE’S WHEN IT WORKED. BUT EVEN THEN. AS SOON AS THE PRESSURE WAS ON. IT ALL FELL APART TIME AND TIME AGAIN!!! Bobo got credit for what elite players did. Trust me bobo was a mistake!!!! Anyway stay at UGA until a truly great opportunity arises! The right place. The right time. The right players! The right recruiting base. Sounds like if they have all that they should already be winners right? NOPE! Because maybe the head coach that is failing at this dream job. Possibly it’s because maybe they are coaching for their hated rival to? Like you at Florida!!!! And maybe the fans have no patience for them and only them??? So wait for that job before you take another head coaching job. Because Florida haunts you now. We both know if you had a real QB. YOU PROBABLY WIN A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP AT FLORIDA! But it is what it is. So wait. And when you do get your next big chance. Make 100% sure it’s the right place! Because now SC will also haunt you. I believe you have at least one more big chance if you stay put and have patience!!! BE COACHED EVEN AS A COACH. LEARN TO KEEP LEARNING. Have patience and you’ll get another shot!!! Don’t take Tennessee if it’s offered for example. Because that would be another trap job. Jeremy Pruitt found that out.
Then once you get that next big chance. Remember, don’t go backwards!!! Don’t think backwards. Look where college football is going and go with them. ONLY NEVER EVER STOP RECRUITING AND COACHING HARD NOSED PHYSICAL FAST DEFENSE!!!
PS. Because regardless to what anyone says. That never goes out of style with a championship team. Start with having a world class staff without stealing UGA coaches lol. Along with that staff. You need a world class strength and conditioning coach and staff. Second to none!!!!! Remember those guys are the year round coaches! That keep your players strong and plugged in and out of trouble!!!!

The ole bourdon coach’s last game at USCar (he’ll forever be a cock)
now that was a bad D
Greyson Lambert set the NCAA Single Game Completion Pct record in that game. I think UGA could have scored a 100 points in that game if they had so desired.
Then the ole bourdon cosch showed up for a post game show smashed and sounding like Otis
Priceless!
If someone constantly strives to move up in their profession, they sometimes reach their own level of incompetence. That is to say, that while they do well at all of their lower level jobs, they can eventually get promoted into a job that is just too big for them.
Say what you want to about Muschamp as a head coach. His record has been far from good. But as a defensive coordinator & below, he has generally done a good job, in my opinion.
It’s call the Peter Principal
Muschamp is a proven success at DC and as a recruiter. Muschamp is also a proven failure at HC.
I wouldn’t trade Lanning for Muschamp but with people coming after Lanning, Muschamp is a nice insurance policy.
So Peter should’ve never been promoted to Jesus?
You can say the same about Beamer soon. They hired a boy for a man’s job. Muschamp was in over his head, Beamer is wayyyy over his head.
Maybe Muschamp can fill the Defensive Analyst ‘On-Field’ role, just like Butch Jones did at Alabama.
Muschamp will naturally be limited to only patting the players on the back and giving an occasional attaboy as they leave the field.
No actual coaching will be taking place…
Every team can use an ‘extra’ on field coach.
The NCAA put Pitt on 3 years probation and hit them with with off-campus recruiting restrictions for a football analyst playing catch. But don’t worry, places like Bama and GA are in no way on the NCAA’s radar. Coach away.
Booches94, You’re giving UGA way too much credit.
I was joking, because the NCAA doesn’t allow Georgia any of those ‘extra benefits’. Only Alabama gets that benefit…
Oh poor you.., Always crying like a little b!tch…
The King of Negativity is not coming to Tuscaloosa ever.
Oh the tears from Mr. Conspiracy himself…. So UGA can’t be Bama because of Butch Jones?
LMAO…
@mountain dog
Fine, then have him give up the $15 million. He’s being paid not to coach, so he shouldn’t be doing it (calling him an ‘analyst’ is BS). Would you think the same if the situation was reversed and it was Kirby at SC instead? doubt it
That is kind of how it works. Whatever UGA pays Muschamp will be deducted from the amount that USC is obligated to pay him.
and the new $15 min wage will be in effect!
Please, stop the hypotheticals
UGA wouldn’t have been fool enough to sign a contract with Muschamp guarenteeing him millions and millions in buy-out money.
If SC didn’t want to pay him the $15 million they had 2 choices 1) don’t agree to the contract, 2) don’t fire him and let him work out his time.
He should never have been hired in the first place at SC, but the delusional Chicken fans just knew he would turn around a program with no winning tradition, and few solid recruits since your idol Spurrier refused to recruit. Just write the check Chickens, maybe one day you will learn, but I doubt it.
Spurrier = Laziest successful coach of all time.
Dawg fans shouldn’t even be allowed to talk trash about the HBC! Owned you at UF and had a pretty good record against you at South Carolina. Maybe he wasn’t an ace recruiter at USC but there’s a difference between doing more with less and less with more. Y’all know all about that though…
Yeah. Bill Stanfill compared sacking him to helping on farm capturing squealing pigs.
