Muschamp Unplugged Mother%()*$*$!

I went to the National Football Foundation’s Austin Chapter banquet last month where they honored a football scholar/athlete from 38 area high schools.

It is held annually at the Texas Union, and usually the keynote speaker is a collegiate head coach (Darrell Royal, Joe Paterno, Bobby Bowden, etc).

This time is was Muschamp. Mack introduced him. Deloss and Darrell were sitting up front. You got the feeling it was a dress rehearsal for Mus.

He gave a short speech, with a couple of semi-funny stories highlighting the values you would expect for that crowd (hard work, dedication, education) and while it wasn’t the smoothest performance around, it was certainly head-coach-lite and showed that if that is his weakest link in his resume he will do just fine.

You bastard! I was on the waiting list for that lunch. I bet you took my spot! :-)

We should have hired this guy.

Thanks very much.

I needed that…a little dose of football, just enough to take the edge off.

Great job V and thanks for the report. I’m realizing now that it was probably silly of me to fret over Okafor’s lack of hustle in the Spring Game; Muschamp will choke him with his own entrails before it’s a problem on game day. Earl Thomas is going to be his on field surrogate this year and I bet he’s looking forward to that. I know I am. I think he’s correct about E. Acho as well.

Now here’s what I really want to know: did you order the Prime Rib Enchiladas and if so how were they?

No ordering these days, they just serve you chicken alfredo.

Just for dedfischer, I can confirm Muschamp was indeed wearing the snakeskin loafers. Sockless of course. Untouchable, baby.

I still can’t believe we hired this guy. I remember watching his ‘boom motherfucker’ clip for the first time, and thinking “This is EXACTLY the kind of hire we need to make, but Mack won’t do it”.

That’s better. Should hold off the DT’s for another week and a half or so.

I know the guy can coach up a defense, and get’s fired up on the sideline, but can he really play the role of head coach of the University of Texas?

It’s almost more of a political role than it is a true coaching position. Mack seems to have gotten it down pat, BS with the booster crowd, grin and wink with HS coaches and media, high-pressure hard sell the recruits, and clap his hands on Saturdays.

Muschamp seems more like a coaches coach, I just can’t see him kissing babies, and wiping the ass of boosters like Mack does.

I guess Bo Pilini and Mike Leach have done alright as head coaches so far, and they seem to fit the same mold, so maybe Muschamp can do it too.

“Then he repeated it three times while shaking his head. Clearly it still worked him over that OU backassed it’s way into the Big 12 title and national championship game.”

I like the fact that OU’s bullshit is starting to get under his skin. Stoops should be afraid, very afraid. There’s a new sheriff in town and now Texas has the best D in the B12.

“Mysteriously, it never fails to produce robust laughter.”

It’s not a mystery. Longhorn Nation has their collective lips firmly attached to Muschamp’s ass. To be fair, I can’t blame you. The guy is a BAMF. People might’ve been laughing out of fear.

Nate,

Look on the bright side. Maybe our cocky defensive-minded coach will eventually turn into a pathetic titty-baby, just like yours did.

“Look on the bright side. Maybe our cocky defensive-minded coach will eventually turn into a pathetic, EXCUSE MAKING, titty-baby, just like yours did.”

FIFY

Way to knock it out of the park Vash, the fat waiter with the maroon tie and the lazy eye…classic.

The difference is that Big Game trained at the foot of Steve Spurrier and Boom has Mack Brown. Take what you want from that.
I’m not a Greg Davis hater but what is the over/under, in days, for Greg’s resignation when Mack announces his retirement?

Great report. I look forward to the day when the entire staff has to report to Boom.

Muschamp also learned under Saban. If you take the best of Saban and Mack Brown, then you’ve got SuperCoach.

“It’s not a mystery. Longhorn Nation has their collective lips firmly attached to Muschamp’s ass. To be fair, I can’t blame you. The guy is a BAMF. People might’ve been laughing out of fear.”

Funny stuff Nate and I can’t argue for a moment.

“The difference is that Big Game trained at the foot of Steve Spurrier and Boom has Mack Brown.”

That’s a good point, and I hadn’t thought of it in those terms.

My God, I cannot wait for October 17, 2009.

Hook ’em!

A few follow up comments that missed the first draft.

Quan Cosby and Roy Miller will be missed for their leadership as much as if not more than their contributions on the field. You hear this a lot as lip service but we know the reason everything came together in 2005 was VY controlled the locker room. Cosby, Roy, Colt, and Orakpo did last year.

Roy gave the guys on defense a speech right before the Fiesta Bowl kickoff and Mack told Will to go check on the boys because he heard a lot of loud crazy shit coming from the locker room. Will said, “Screw that, I’m sending Giles.”

The players both feared and respected Roy. Same with Rak but he lead by example. Roy got in their faces. Players get sick of hearing from coaches, but they’ll jump to it if a respected player gets on their ass. We need another Roy Miller badly but I don’t see one on the roster.

Missing Chykie for three games last year to injury was a big loss for the secondary. Has very high hopes for his lockdown corners this year.

TE is still a huge concern. Irby will likely have to fight through some nerve damage before he ever gets back on the field.

Loved Antwan Cobb’s emergence in the spring.

“A player we’re counting on stepping up big time is Malcolm Williams. He hasn’t put it all together and he needs to earn his scholly.”

Notice served.

Comments on your first OU game? “You can definitely tell the difference between our fans and their fans … it’s win or draw in that game – there is no other option.” He gets it.

Regarding playing for polls/stats/postseason awards: Don’t expect any changes. We’ll continue to do things with class. The last thing they want to do is humiliate other kids. It’s not about the coaches.

Lastly, the defense will be ready come Fall.

Tim- all that political back slapping BS only comes into play when you don’t win on the field. Muschamp will be fine.

The new field sounds like it will be great for reducing impact stress. Might be a good idea to install a cooling system. Maybe something as simple as flowing chilled water to the surface and making sure the drainage system is real good.

Great observation about how Coach Boom being the future head coach affects the relationship between Muschamp and GD.

"A player we’re counting on stepping up big time is Malcolm Williams. He hasn’t put it all together and he needs to earn his scholly."

Very unusual. I haven’t ever heard a DC telling a specific offensive player very publicly that he needs to step it up. My guess is that Coach Boom only does that if he thinks effort is an issue.

Is Keenan Robinson one of the 4 linebackers? Haven’t heard his name recently. I had high hopes for him.

Good stuff although just once I would like to see us say “yeah, look. It’s a one game schedule. Ou is it. The other game in Stillwater is against a team that has never won anything in football-ever. We have talent 4-deep at every position on the field that 99.99% of all other college teams would kill for. If we don’t play for the NC, it’s on the coaching staff. End of story.”

Groundhog,

Yes he is. We’ve grown used to discounting our LB play because of a lack of true coaching but I think you’ll start to see our players actually improve at that position from year to year instead of tread water.

Tables began to rise on their own.

That is subtle genius, Vash.

It’s all about the trident.

Lorem ipsum dolorum.

I simply love my new tea cozy.

wut.

Best read of the summer thus far. I’m a Vash fan now.

I can get a bit giddy knowing that Texas will be playing balls to the walls defense for the rest of my life. It’s been pretty much hit and miss on that side of the ball since Akers was moved out.

I’m far too old to be close enough to the team to know any players. I had no idea that Roy was a “get in your face” kind of leader. That’s pretty cool.

You guys are calling the wrong guy a faggy. I understand the metaphysical foundations of homo-ness and hetero-ness. I suspect that you fellows do not. And if that is the case, then with respect to the gayness issue, I would be rubber and you guys would be glue and whatever you guys say about me bounces off of me and ends up sticking to you.

Funny how you guys as a group do not have the wherewithal to challenge me or my statements on a direct basis. Where is all this rhetorical arrogance you guys are supposed to be famous for? Seems as if when I come around, it all turns into runny chickenshit and goes runs and hides like a scared little girl. And I hang out around playgrounds in my van so I know what a scared little girl looks like.

Why we challange you? I don’t try and correct the strange, unintelligible shouts from the homeless guy when his on his corner, why would challange him just because he somehow found a way to get online? What do you want us to say?There’s no reason to mock the aggies because they do it themselves without meaning to better than any of us could do with purpose. The SEC is overrated in every sport. What ever other avatar you choose to portray in order to goad us into anger is just further proof that the University of Texas really is the greatest school on the earth because why else would you spend so much time here?

Sorry for the grammatical errors. I’d like to blame them on the phone but in reality I’d probably make them just the same.

“just once I would like to see us say ‘yeah, look. It’s a one game schedule. Ou is it.’ "

How’d that one game schedule work out for us last year? The myopic focus on OU should not filter out the other games. When it does, you lose games to inferior, front runner squads out in the tortilla flats.

If loving Coach Boom makes me gay, I don’t want to be straight.

“We look out fo yo Intris!”

That’s gold Jerry, gold!!

Muschamp is a calfone with some real chuzpah!

While being pissed about OU winning the Big 12 championship, did he say anything about losing to us?

Muschamp cannot(and probably never will) deliver a speech like President Obama, but he has this “folksy” kinda style that’s all his own. He gets the message out and its a clear message.

Muschamp is a legend.

Leach, I do remember him saying something about “Tech” and “losers”.

Nice defense.

cannot(and probably never will)

I see you made a reference to a room full of white guys getting erections at the thought of a young black man. I’m conflicted.

Thanks, Vasherized. Needed a hit of football. Fall camp is still a month off—toughest part of the off-season.

Genius of the deal keeping Muschamp in Austin is what beowulf said: it keeps our defense the ass-kicking soul of the team. Scoring points is great but an intense, physical defense sets a tone that is essential.

Leach, after shitting the bed at ou, Baylor nearly bearing you, and losing to Ole Miss, you might wonder if you team quit on you.
