Who wouldn't rather have Will Muschamp over Bob Stoops, Nick Saban, or Bobby Petrino.
Just admit it - you look silly for throwing out those ridiculous names earlier in the process. Muschamp is a fine head coach prospect, but he's no different than any other "hot" coordinator that is available every year.
It would have been impressive if Florida snagged a big name HC like the fans bragged about, but frankly Muschamp is the most meh name that was mentioned.
Could it be a homerun hire? Sure. But in has to be a disappointment, whether you admit or not, considering the names that were bandied about leading up to it and his complete lack of head coaching experience.
On the other hand, Malzahn's offense has been incredible this year at Auburn. In a vacuum, the Malzahn hire at Vandy is a much better hire than Muschamp at Florida. That is a no doubt homerun, even though he will most likely never win more games in a season than Muschamp will at UF.

Of course the Muschamp hire has risk to it. He hasn't been a HC. I was throwing out what I was hearing, which was Stoops/Petersen. All of the "insiders" were wrong. All the media outlets were wrong. It happens.
