First, Texas was 7th in total defense (51st in pts/gm) in 2010. The whole team was awful in 2010. Their O was 59th overall and 87th in ppg. Even a great D is going to break with an O that bad.
But go ahead and discount that Muschamp was DC in the SEC for 5 years and each time his D was top-10 in the country. Discount that the previous 2 years in 2009 and 2008 Texas his D's were 3rd and 50th in total D (8th and 20th in pts/gm), respectively.
Then look at Malzahn who 4 years ago was a high school coach. His offense at Arkansas was good (with McFadden, Jones, and Hillis - none of whom he recruited) and his two years at Tulsa his O's were mixed but trending downward: 38th in Total O & 47th in ppg in 2009 and 2nd in total O & pts in 2008.
No one mentioned Muschamp because no one even thought he was available. He was HCIW at Texas, a top-3 job. Yet Malzahn was a better hire?
