Who The Hell Is This Joker?

He's the new head football coach at the University of Florida, that's who.  Meet Will Muschamp, the former defensive coordinator and heir apparent to Mack Brown at the University of Texas. 

Here is why this hire makes less than zero sense.  Texas, who, mind you, played for the National Championship less than one year ago, imploded this year.  They went 5-7 this year and 2-6 in the Big 12.  This guy was the signal caller for a defense that was ranked 51st nationally in points against.  The same defense that gave up 34 (THIRTY FOUR!!!) points to UCLA's joke Pistol offense.  Better story still...  They lost 5 of their last 6 games, with the only win coming against meatball Florida Atlantic.  This hiring is like if you or I did nothing but shit work for an entire year at our job and then got a huge promotion at a bigger company in spite of it all. 

So Florida, which is a MARQUEE job in college football, hires a guy who limped his way to the end of the current college football season.  Are the Gators resetting their standards here?  Is the new goal of this program to bottom feed in the SEC East?

I mean, Jesus, this is a really good job.  And it probably drew interest from guys who were actually good, proven head coaches.  Still, Florida hires this guy.

Umm...  Headscratcher.
