Urban Legend

After 6 years as a Florida Gator, Urban has stepped down. For real this time. No Favre-ing.

I decided to forgo the fun of guessing who the new coach might be and analyzing the resumes and credentials of the possible candidates. Now that it’s been made official, let the analysis begin.

Will Muschamp will be taking over as our head coach after Urban’s final game, our bowl game against Penn State. The fine folks at Gatorsports.com have already done a nice job of writing Coach Muschamp’s mini-bio, so I recommend you check out this link if you’d like the details. In general, his results with defenses he’s worked with in the past sound good. The fact that he’s from Gainesville is a plus. Him leaving a pretty sure future coaching at Texas to come coach for us seems like another positive sign. The only thing that really makes me wonder is that he went to UGA. According to the article, he’s also BFF with Jimbo Fisher, but considering my past, I can’t say much about being friends with Noles. Hopefully this stellar recruiting he’s known for will get things back to good for the Gators. Urban, thanks for the memories. Welcome to Gator Nation, Coach Muschamp!
