IT'S OFFICIAL!!!!

Twitter is blowing up. Even Teablow welcomed him as the new coach.

Will this impact the talks with Stoops?

Looks like just another rumor.

Typical bonehead:

"Hey, Stoops used to be a DC...STOOPS TO TEXAS!!"

[JLEW1818]

Typical bonehead:

"Hey, Stoops used to be a DC...STOOPS TO TEXAS!!"

yes, Stoops and Mack team up to save big 12!!

[StoopTroup]

Jacksonville>Gainesville

[Leroy Lizard]

BTW, a thread title on Shaggy says "Stoops to Florida may look like a done deal." :D

[Frozen Sooner]

Looks like just another rumor.

[oumartin]

Yeah, I think that would be a retarded move for Florida. I just don't see it.

[StoopTroup]

:D



It appears Florida could be replacing one iconic head coach with another.

[adoniijahsooner]

From Shaggybevo lmao!

This is it. This is the decline. All of our worst nightmares are going to come true. Hello 1985-1997!!!!!!!!!

Both Florida and Texas just got worse IMO

[oumartin]

I agree, I think he'll go down in flames in florida and it couldn't happen to a better University.

[soonerbub]

This makes no sense--Stoops would not be a good fit as Muschamp's defensive coordinator. Maybe Stoops will be his coach in waiting :cool:





HAHAHAHAHA texass sux :mack: :mack: :mack:

[TMcGee86]

Looks like just another rumor.

does it? does it really? :rolleyes:

[sooner59]

I really needed this after being in Stillwater earlier today. I feel all warm and giddy.

[Leroy Lizard]

Unless Florida has a person named Sources on their staff, yeah.

[TMcGee86]

Unless Florida has a person named Sources on their staff, yeah.

Here's the schools official release. Maybe that's not a good enough source:

whatcha got now Leroy?

[DarrellZero]

Well I guess we now know what all this Stoops to Florida nonsense was about.

It was a disinformation smokescreen, probably intentionally planted, to distract the media from the real focus of the hunt.

This day just keeps getting better.

[BoomerSooner, esq.]

Looks like just another rumor.

I would tend to agree except that twitter and the right reverend have both confirmed it. Therefore, it must be true.

http://twitter.com/TimTebow#

[StoopTroup]

So when will Bob be back in Norman?

[oumartin]

What a great day! I really didn't believe it but if it's true it's awesome. while I think the guy is a great recruiter and motivator I just don't see him as a head coach. Guess we will get to see now..

So, WM wanted Davis gone and now WM is gone. Does that mean Gred Davis can come back now? Pretty please

[Leroy Lizard]

Here's the schools official release. Maybe that's not a good enough source:

So, I guess he's going to be the * coach in waiting except do it at Florida.

[Sooner91ATL]

Texas plants this Stoops to "insert name here" each year at this time to try to disrupt our recruiting. Since they have recruited each year's incoming class at least 3 years previously, they have lots of time on hand this part of the season, especially when they can't practice.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA


**** you Texas!

[Soonermagik]

Florida is dumb lol. Muschamp did nothing to save Texas this year. He was in charge of that awful defense.

[LASooner]

I love that it's probably Texas supporters who parrot the "Stoops to.." rumors, and it's there guy who gets snagged.

[meandmybutt]

LMAO....so much for "Head Coach in Waiting" I was waiting for one of these coach in waiting things to blow up on a university. That title never means anything. I think even a blind man can see that now. Hopefully this is the end of the HCIW era.

[soonercastor]

both * and Fla are pissed LMAO.

This is great!

Leach for OC and head coach in waiting.

Now they want the pirate. :D

This one was funny


I'm at a loss.

This kind of feels like when OU kicked our asses all up and down 60 whatever to -10 whatever.

wow

[SoonerBacker]

I've been out all day and heard nothing about this until I got home and saw the "Breaking News: Muschamp to Florida" scrolling at the bottom of the espin screen. Surely if espin is reporting it as "Breaking News," it must be true! lol

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

man this is like early Christmas.

bwaaahahahahaha

Best offseason ever

[yankee]

From shaggy. I'm in tears. :P


Mack needs to be taken out back and shot with the sperm of Greg Davis.


Be serious, other than 2005 and 2009, have we performed to expectations AT ****ING ALL?


You know, good for Will. Florida is a better job than Texas right now due to this ****ING ****ED ****TY ****ING conference we find ourselves in.


And Boom goes our Dynamite.

[Leroy Lizard]

I love the ShaggyBevo thread because it provides such insight into the mindset of UT fans. Just wade through and notice the pattern:

First, many UT fans claim that losing Will is no big deal and are LOLing at Stoops leaving for Florida.

Then, the news breaks and they consider it an epic disaster.

Finally, they turn on their fellow Horn fans who said Will wasn't leaving.

http://www.shaggybevo.com/board/showthread.php/78859-BON-says-Florida-is-reaching-out-to-Muschamp/page1

BTW, they're taking the news unbelievably harsh.

Wow. Just wow.

"If this happens I'm going to literally ****ing kill Mack Brown. ****ing burn his house down while he's sleeping in it. FUUFUFUUFUFFUFUU"

[Soonermagik]

This is a double win, guys. Florida gets a guy who hasn't done jack this season. In fact, he got torched at home by Iowa State, Baylor & UCLA lol. That wasn't Mack calling the plays.

The Whorns lose another coach and possibly more recruits to us. Christmas has come early!!!! :)

[soonerbub]

From a national championship 2 years ago to an assistant coach from the worst team in the Big XII South

HAHAHAHAHA

Texas is not destination job when your HCIW leaves to coach a better (7-5) team.

No OC , no DC, few assistants left. Who will coach the Bowl Game?

Let the transfers begin! I guess those stories about coaches fighting at halftime might be true afterall.

[Okie35]

Apparently Muschamp is taking Major Applewhite w/ him too to be Florida's OC.

[soonercastor]

Apparently Muschamp is taking Major Applewhite w/ him too to be Florida's OC.

beat me by a second

[SoonerPride]

Maybe I'm daft but I don't see this as that big a loss. Why all the wailing and crying? What exactly was so great about Muschump and his defense?

[the_edge]

Apparently Muschamp is taking Major Applewhite w/ him too to be Florida's OC.

That's a joke, right? Does he want his offense to suck?

[Okie35]

That's a joke, right? Does he want his offense to suck?

Its not. I don't think it will suck they run the spread option anyway but the funny thing about it to me is how he's leaving Mack and we all remember how he snubbed him when he was a player.

[Soonerfan88]

"Greg Davis to Defensive Coordinator. He knows how to keep points off the board."


Love this line from Shaggy. ROFL

[SoonerPride]

Its not. I don't think it will suck they run the spread option anyway but the funny thing about it to me is how he's leaving Mack and we all remember how he snubbed him when he was a player.

Hmm that just shows Applewhite wasn't a shoe in to replace Davis.
Too much is read into this like it's a love affair.
It's just a business deal and a better position for both of them.

[SoonerMarkVA]

I don't like it.

Going to be really awkward. "Head Coach of Florida, Texas Head-Coach-in-Waiting Will Muschamp."

I mean really, did UF think this thing through at all? :)

[Leroy Lizard]

I love one of the poster's sig at Orangebloods:



"I'm going to stay at Texas until they fire me" - Will Muschamp

Whoops!

[BigJerm7]

Texas' allsome D speaks for itself this year. Who wouldn't want him?

[SoonerNate]

Okay I'm good. I need no more Christmas gifts. This is as good as they come.

[TMcGee86]

Quote from MP5 on Shaggy Bevo "We are on a bullet train headed for a cliff. Hello Michigan, Hello ND can we join you at the table?"

And STAB must mean, "So Texas, About Brown..."

yeah my thought was Sorry Texas And Brown.

but the fact is, Cowherd said it was a headcoach not an assistant.

yet another great thing about today, Cowherd looks like the dip**** that he is. I can't wait to see how he spins this. I'm sure he'll say that Stoops was signed and delivered until the last min and then he backed out and UF went with plan B.

Unfortunately for him there are numerous reports that WM was UF's man all along and the only person they contacted.

not to mention they were meeting with him and signing a deal today when all the Stoops rumors were flying.

[sooner518]

i love looking at the posts from this afternoon talking about how they are "98% sure Stoops is gone to Florida" and how Stoops might feel drawn to his "alma mater"..... duuurrr :D

and my favorite:

Stoops to Florida. Official.

damn!

How surprised was the #UT team about the #Muschamp news? Most first saw it on TV during the Heisman ceremony. #hookem #longhorns

If this is true things have got to be all kinds of bad behind the scenes. I bet those kids were ****ting bricks when they read that.

[soonerloyal]

Great. As if the stench of living down here amongst Gator crap isn't bad enough. Now I'm due to get a huge whiff of transplanted Bevo shat too. There goes the already craptastic football neighborhood.

@Jake_Trotter Still collecting some information, but I can say there are several Texas commits who are wanting to hear from OU.

[RacerX]

First time on Shaggybevo today. Those guys are obsessed with dicks.

[TahoeSOONER]

Muchchump will fail at Florida and don't put it past Mack to make some moves to right the ship with all that $.

Thankfully OU looks primed to drop a streak on the horns.

They try to divert attention of their perversion by linking Stoops' name with phallic references every ten seconds. They must lack what he has. Really, it's sad and disturbing.

posted it in the recruit forum

[OUthunder]

This has turned out to be a pretty good week.

**** Texass!

[bigfatjerk]

This day couldn't kick more *** unless Mack Brown decided to retire.

[OhU1]

The Mack hate over on Shaggy has produced tears of laughter for me tonight. One of my favs: Mack is driving the Valdez drunk, This is a mismanagement of Enron proportions. Florida knows what to do to win and them having that potential staff is outrageous. Meanwhile Texas with Mack refusing to pry his liver spotted hands from the levers has us with no coordinators, a 5-7 record and a potential to lose many recruits. Thanks Mack

[Sooner_Tuf]

When the cat is away the mice will play. DUIs for everyone over the holidays!

Seriously it can't much worse for Texas. Unless Mack finally gets busted for all the inappropriate touching. Whatever happened with the Cleve Bryant situation? He and his wife are still on leave aren't they?

[Soonerfan88]

This day couldn't kick more *** unless Mack Brown decided to retire.

No, we want Mack to stay right there several more years. Their team hasn't been completely driven into the ground yet. :pop:

[AlboSooner]

I think that would ruin the day.

I want Mack to stay!

[bigfatjerk]

True. Texas is pretty much replacing the entire staff.

Karma is a bitch, isn't it, all you rumor-mongering Texas ****heads?

[AlbqSooner]

Yep. Waiting for bowl eligibility to return to asstin.:D

[VA Sooner]

A huge hire for Florida. A big loss for Texas.

Coach-in-waiting... a moniker that doesn't mean much, except for a healthy Texas salary.

Looks like Texas is rebuilding the ENTIRE team with new assistant coaches, QB, and running backs. Plus graduating a few more NFL caliber defensive players... what a huge exodus.

I know this thread is supposed to be about Florida... but I think it affects Texas much more so!

This just made my day. :D

[WestLakeHillsSooner]

This is "The Day After" in Austin and it is nuclear desolation. Muschamp, their supposed successor to Brown and best recruiter, Applewhite (Malcolm Brown's primary recruiter) and Duane Akina are all gone to Florida. In one fail swoop, Texas lost their three best recruiters.

Six coaches (so far) off the Texas staff. Continuity is a very, very underrated ingredient to success in major college football. Texas staff has been decimated and is left with the scraps.

Don't stand under any tall buildings in downtown Austin today. Please excuse me now. I have to go out to sweep all the nuclear ash out of my yard.

We learned this by way of the coaching carousel in Norman during the 90s.

Recruiting will get very interesting.....

The six coaching positions now vacant had to be responsible for 80% + of the recruiting communication.

This is going to be fun.

That is possible but Muchamp is a very good coach and recruiter Meyer will give him some tips I'm sure, I expect him to do well.. The state of Florida is a recruiters haven..

The ones that I know have already accepted the fact that Bob wasn't going anywhere, most accepted that after the last Florida run at Bob when he turned them down before they hired Urban. They don't even bother to poke at me anymore when those rumors start. They tend to be not as delusional as many of the others around here.

Local sportsradio on Friday wouldn't let it go. But that doesn't top my boss e-mailing me at 2:30 on Saturday saying the rumors had heated up, despite me pointing out everything wrong with that. To his credit he emailed me at 7:30 with the "FML" message.

When Texas announced Muschamp was the head coach in waiting, I had no idea it meant he was waiting for the Florida job.

Nice of Dodds and Jeremy Foley to work so closely together.

*Really* nice of Dodds to double Muschamp's pay when he applied the "coach in waiting (for Florida)" tag. Slapping down an extra $450k/year is a grander gesture than buying the next round of drinks.

LOL, at least he didn't have to fly through that squall line!

[bent rider]

I can see Mack coming into the office Monday morning and starting a recruiting meeting with the remaining coaching staff with the fast clap on overdrive.

Will any more rats be fleeing the sinking ship?

[Sabanball]

I still can't believe this. UF is a TOP tier program, and this is a stretch at best...a real reach. And now we see he's bringing in Applewhite as OC?? Lol. Foley is full of crap telling people this is the only guy they wanted. Whether he's telling the truth or not, I predict both he AND Muschamp will be on the market fairly quickly. There were WAY too many proven commodities out there, and UF IS one of the programs that should be able to pick and choose. And there aren't many programs that could outbid them.

Yep - I think Florida just conceded the SEC to Alabama for the next few years. While WM is an adequate, if overrated, DC, he's not a leader of a program and I think it'll prove true soon enough. For that matter neither is Chizik, and Auburn after Cam Newton won't have any staying power imo. Chizik's deal is defense, and they suck at that, so yeah I expect Saban to out-recruit and out-coach his competition in the conference for a while (save for a few hilarious Les Miles 4th quarters here and there, of course).

Remind me again about how much HC experience Stoops had when Oklahoma hired him.

Foley is the best AD in the business. He isn't going anywhere.

[SoonerMom2]

When I was driving back to Norman from Colorado today, the Denver sports were all abuzz about how bad they looked against AZ, but then they got into Tebow, the so-called quarterback in waiting. Seems people in the know said that Tebow was not drafted for this year or 2011 but for 2012. Tebow hasn't progressed and cannot throw accurately down the field very often, is slow when running in the NFL, and has not grasped the fast pace of the NFL which is also why the owner doesn't want him out there to show the fans what a huge mistake they made in giving up three draft picks to pick him up in the first round. All the shows were ripping the owner of the Bronco's and his GM who moved from the financial side to the football side and has little knowledge of drafting but inserted himself in the 2010 draft. Several of the callers in the know ripped Tebow but good and the owner for making him a #1 round draft pick.

Then another program had someone on that talked about other conferences don't recruit against the SEC because they don't pay players to sign with them and that Auburn was the tip of the iceberg for pay to play in the SEC. Also said that Urban Meyers wouldn't play ball in paying for recruits. Said he was told by a major recruiter from another conference who also said this was one reason that Meyer is leaving coaching in the SEC. Big offenders are supposedly Auburn, AL, LSU, and Vanderbilt (?) which doesn't seem to be working at Vanderbilt.

[Tigeman]

That'll go to show you to listen to callers on radio shows mom! Why would CUM care about it, if he's still pulling in top 2 and 3 recruiting classes year after year? Beating everybody in the SEC but maybe Bama???

The answer is, he doesn't! There's other reasons.

Remind me again about how much HC experience Stoops had when Oklahoma hired him.

Foley is the best AD in the business. He isn't going anywhere.

Stoops was the exception and not the rule, and it was a unique set of circumstances in Norman as I recall back in 1998/99. Most elite programs want an established HC. UF IS an elite program and not one that can have HC's on training wheels--or so I thought.

I'm not saying Muschamp will bomb but the gators could have done much better.
