Will-come Wagon

I'll admit, when Will Muschamp announced he'd take on the Florida coaching job, it hurt my feelings. Never had anyone turned down the Vols, and it hurt. I don't know I'm ready for him to be so close to us.

Of course, nothing could be better for Orange Nation. Dooley is a committed class act who has done wonders with this season and appears primed to become one of the most beloved figures in UT sports. He's represented us with integrity, but had some fun on the way. Once we get over these growing pains, we'll be right back where we should be.

Florida on the other hand...here's what I know about Muschamp: he shrinks from a challenge, allows cash to speak louder than his promises, and can make a losing season out of National Championship talent. That's to say nothing of the havoc changing systems could wreak on the program and recruiting.

After this year's Florida game, I marked next year's as a win. After Urban retired for real, I had to white that out. After the Muschamp hire, I feel confident again.

So welcome to the SEC, Will. Maybe you think you know what big time football college is like, coming from Texas. We'll see if the pressure blossoms you into a Spurrier, or crushes you into a Zook.
