Tubby will find another good DC. Good Luck to Muschamp, at least he came back to Auburn and told them in person. He’ll do well, with easier competition and a larger recruiting area.

A P –

Help me out again by listing all the conference and national titles they’ve won out there in Lubbock. I’ve lost count.

Calling Texas Tech an also-ran in college football history is being charitable.

Texas Tech (pre-Dread Pirate Leach),

your supposed viewpoint of experience would have any credibility if Tech had markedly improved under Mike Leach, but the reality is that Spike Dykes was regularly winning. Grant Teaff is a notable coach, Houston was a top 25 program under Yoeman, Jenkins, Pardee.

Texas has Auburn’s coach, yet again. All the yapping on the internet doesn’t change the fact both Chizik and Muschamp see it as a step up.

Coop:

The SWC — at least in my viewing lifetime, from the late 70s forward — combined all the football excellence of the ACC with the ethics of the SEC.

Sure, there was Texas and A&M, which have a level of national recognition. However, they were joined by perennial cheats SMU and a legion of also-rans and never-weres like TCU, Texas Tech (pre-Dread Pirate Leach), Baylor, Houston, and Rice. Sure, Arkansas was competent — but never more than that in the time frame I reference.

Quite frankly, it was significantly weaker as a football conference than the Big 12 it managed to, frankly, hijack. If either NU or OU was Texas’ equal, the other was definitely A&M’s superior from a national recognition perspective. In the later years when Colorado and KSU got good, well, there’s really no contest.

Multiple MNCs at Texas in the next 3-4 years? That’s pretty amazing considering the not so young Mack Brown’s run of 1 conference title……ever. As for Muschamp, he’s a good young coach, but he’s not worth those dollars. Anyway, that’s what Matt Stafford told me.

hilarious, “Texas and the SWC sucks,” how old are you? 18?

auburns last 2 DC’s left for Texas even though it’s supposedly a lateral move to a shitty school in a shitty conference.

It’s official. Muschamp to Texas, per Phillip Marshall.

Mack Brown probably cried and said it wouldn’t be fair to Texas for them to work so hard and not get the defensive coordinator they wanted.

From the 30s to the early 80s, the SWC was as good as any other conference out there.

To argue otherwise is to reveal ignorance.

NEWSFLASH !!!! Muschamp landed in Auburn and said he has not made up his mind yet. He’s going to talk with Auburn before making an announcement. This was just announced on the local Auburn ” Sports Call” radio show.

Look, it is very simple why a guy who wants to be an head coach would rather be a DC at a Big 12 school than an SEC school — he gains exposure to a lot more shitty programs that are going to need coaches in a few years. Think about it, he can go to Texas and play Baylor, Iowa St., Texas Tech, Ok St, Colorado, etc. every year. Then, when those programs fire their coaches in the hope they can crawl out of the shit cellar, he’ll be tops in their minds as a replacement. There are only a couple of SEC programs (MSU, UK, Vandy) who would readily take a chance on a young guy with no head coaching experience. There are half a dozen or so at least in the Big 12.

A friend with a sister on the AU BOT told me AU matched the offer he got from Southern Miss during Tub’s negotiations……
