So is there also a posting for OC? I believe Texas law, like most, states that any open position has to be publicly posted for a certain time unless you are promoting from within. Might give a hint if Major will be passed over and likely off to Florida.

Ability to project the image of the University of Texas and the UT Men's Athletics Department with dignity and grace regardless of circumstances and environments.

Hint. Hint.

Saw this on espn big 12 blog. Thought the writeup was pretty funny.


A mysterious new job posting appeared on the website of the University of Texas' human resources this week, but you might recognize why the job came open.

Under job title, "Assistant Football Coach, Defensive Coordinator" is listed, thanks to Will Muschamp's departure to Florida, where he'll be the Gators' new head coach.

Another key phrase, under the "Position open to" row: "all applicants"

That means you! But it's not all fun and games. There are ladders involved.

Under working conditions:

Uniforms and/or personal protection equipment (furnished). May work in all weather conditions. May work in extreme temperatures. May work around standard office conditions. Repetitive use of a keyboard at a workstation. Use of manual dexterity. Climbing of stairs. Climbing of ladders. Lifting and moving.

Exposure to large crowds; weekend, evening and holiday work; intrastate and interstate travel; work long hours during peak periods; direct customer contact


The hours required lists "40.00 Variable," but the safe guess is that's on the low end. Though they do concede: "Additional hours will be required during peak periods to include evenings, weekends, and holidays. Interstate and intrastate travel is required to include overnight stays."

Better bring a sleeping bag.

Of course, the posting might be good for more than just a cheap laugh. A handful of names have been floating around over the weekend after Muschamp announced his intention to leave on Saturday night. Here's what's listed under "preferred qualifications."

"Minimum twelve (12) years coaching experience in a university 1-A program. Minimum 7 years experience coaching in the NFL. Experience coaching at a BCS school."


First off, fellas, we call it the "FBS" now. Otherwise, it's condescending. Expect a flood of angry calls from the Blue Hen faithful of Delaware.

But there's plenty to read into in that description.

One of the names who has drifted near that cloud has been Florida defensive coordinator Teryl Austin, Florida's defensive coordinator.

Austin coached defensive backs for the Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals from 2003-09 before taking over for Charlie Strong before the 2010 season at Florida under Urban Meyer. Before his NFL stint, he coached at Penn State, Wake Forest, Syracuse and Michigan from 1991-2003.

Do the math.

Sound like a clue?

Could be.

"Working conditions: Exposure to large crowds"

- Not if they lose 7 games again.

I'm in New England, and I have a friend who applied for the Red Sox GM position a few years ago. Basically he said "I love baseball, I'm passionate about the Red Sox, and I finished 2nd in my fantasy league last year." He actually got an official letter in response saying that they would keep his application on file. Actually pretty cool!

probably to laugh at

Interesting that under Required Qualifications is "Experience coaching in the NFL" limits there pool. Maybe they are going to bring back Greg Robinson. :)

Whoops. Too late. OB reporting that Teryl Austin, formerly the Florida DC for all of one year, is the new DC.

Don't worry you guys, OC's still open!

Successful experience as an assistant football coach at an elite level.

That would be taking a step down. :rolleyes:

After Stoops left Florida for OU, I don't remember Florida being known for their defense. :)

It was obviously a form letter/formality. I kind of thought that it went without saying that his resume being highlighted by a 2nd place fantasy finish wouldn't garner serious consideration for a top position overseeing a $150 million annual payroll. We just thought it was cool that he was officially acknowledged by the Red Sox, even for a joke.

Nice. I was thinking of applying and posting my fantasy football records for the past 7 years.
