In addition to criticizing some of his former employers, Will Muschamp, the defensive coordinator for the Texas Longhorns, made a daring assertion about his student-athletes. Muschamp suggested that students at his previous schools didn’t attend class.
According to Muschamp, “Somebody that embraces work ethic, somebody that wants to improve and get better every single day, somebody that wants to get coached hard and developed. ” Right now, it may be simple to identify those who don’t want to be properly coached and developed in our society, and we must be careful to avoid such individuals. They must have a strong transcript. Texas is where our players attend school, in fact. In reality, we attend lessons. Unlike other locations.
In essence, Muschamp’s remarks implicate a third of the SEC. Before joining the Georgia Bulldogs, Muschamp was the defensive coordinator for the Auburn Tigers and also played for the LSU Tigers, Florida Gators, and South Carolina Gamecocks.
Since those players weren’t headed to the NFL, it’s unlikely that he was referring to the West Georgia Wolves, the Eastern Kentucky Colonels, or the Valdosta State Blazers. But who knows?
Which institution is Muschamp referring to?
Perhaps Muschamp’s wrath was directed at his most recent employer. And most likely not Auburn University, where Muschamp left amicably to take the head coaching position for the Gamecocks. Muschamp’s move from AU was organic, and several Auburn graduates have anecdotes about spotting Tigers athletes from every sport in class.
In terms of UGA, there are well-documented fundamental cultural issues in the football program. Additionally, Muschamp was demoted from defensive coordinator during his five years Between the Hedges on Kirby Smart’s team and came to Texas straight from Athens.
Muschamp will not publicly criticize Kirby in the public square. However, you might have only heard him mention a lot of NFL-bound Dawgs from his time as a coach or his own time as a safety for Georgia in the early 1990s.
