. . . how do you think the coach-in-waiting (CIW) will do once he is handling all of the responsibility?
The potential retiree is Mack Brown and the CIW is, of course, Will Muschamp.
I realize Mack is actually enjoying himself now but even he has to be a little concerned about a drop off after Ponyboy, his BFF, the O-line, et al use up their eligibility and move on, leaving the sa*et offense but a shell of this year's version.
Win or lose the BCS this year, now is as good as it is going to get in Austin for the foresseable future.
So will Mack see the writing on the wall and retire (Aside: Does Deloss Dodds finally step down and let Mack be AD?)?
Anyway, assuming Brown retires, what will the Will Muschamp era of sa*et football be like? Watching him on the sidelines he looks like an excitable boy. That can work for an assistant coach but I think it is a bit much for a head coach. Administrators, boosters, parents of players/prospects aren't looking to meet and deal with the head cheerleader.
It is sa*et so the bloom won't fade from the rose overnight, but good, even great coordinators, don't neccessarily succeed at the top level of coaching. Is he the next big thing or is he over-hyped?
I think . . . hyped.
