Florida to hire Texas' Muschamp as coach (AP)

Texas defensive coordinator Will Muschamp is leaving the Longhorns to be the head coach at Florida. Muschamp succeeds Urban Meyer, who won two national championships in six seasons with the Gators but resigned Wednesday after a 7-5 season. The 39-year-old Muschamp spent three seasons at Texas, where he was the head-coach-in-waiting to succeed Mack Brown.

Hiring a career assistant at a top 20 team is risky business. On the job training at this level usually blows up. Where does he get his staff unless he keeps Meyer's staff?

Couldn't disagree more.

This is Bob Stoops to Oklahoma all over again. Muschamp was the perfect hire. He's everything they wanted (recruiting, intense, knows the SEC) and learning under Saban and Mack Brown at LSU and UT, is as much of a Head Coach on the job training as you are going to get.
