So Florida has a new coach...

I don't have any great insights about Will Muschamp. He's been a good defensive coordinator at several stops, but not every good coordinator is a good head coach, although he's been groomed more ("assistant headcoach" at two stops) than most and has some NFL experience. I do like the defensive coordinator he's supposedly bring in too and not just because it weakens Bama. The offensive coordinator I am less thrilled about. Muschamp may know him, but he hasn't been a ragging success. I remember Major Applewhite as a player (he was the other QB when Phil Simms's some was at UT) and did not see a special football mind. He's not a spread guy, which I am not sorry about, but that does mean next year may be a round peg/square hole offense - although quite frankly that was what Meyer did to Brantley this year anyway.
