Kirby will replace this minion DC with someone else he knows will follow his scheme to the letter.

Lanning is now on his own to either take what he learned from Kirby to Oregon, and do his best to implement it without daddy holding his hand, or implement his own scheme, his own vision. This is what separates pretenders from contenders.

Seems Oregon didn't want to play the $7.5 million/10 years game and I don't blame them in the slightest for that. Probably getting this guy for $4 - $5 million for 4/5 years. You lock 'em in with the long term big bucks AFTER they've proven their worth with CC's and P/O appearances.

I think he just promotes Muschamp to DC, imagine that, Lanning was good enough to keep Muschamp at a positional coach and not the DC.

He likely will. However, Lanning had already been in his DC position for a couple years before Muschamp came in just this year.
No reason to demote a guy who's running your system the way you want. Why disrupt that?

BTW.... Muschamp wasn't a position coach, he was a Defensive Analyst.

Kirby brought him in to also hold Lanning's hand.

"On February 3, 2021, Georgia head coach Kirby Smart announced that Muschamp had been hired as an analyst. Smart claimed Muschamp would work with the defense and "help coach the coaches".

Sorry to burst your bubble.

Agree but you sound old school RA. That doesn't seem to be the thinking nowadays. Now you don't need Saban level results to ALMOST warrant Saban level money.

I am old school. At this point everybody's just waiting for Saban to retire. The cream will rise to the top and it's yet to be determined who that cream will be.

Once Saban retires, it'll take every bit of a decade for this new carousel set to even be compared to the GOAT.

I agree. What I don't understand is why so many schools are willing to pay Saban level prices for someone other than Saban?

Proportionately and/or from a cost/benefit perspective, Saban should be making $30 million/year!

Over the last 10 years, $15 - $20 million buyouts to fire a coach after 3 - 4 years was egregious, but many would throw in the towel and dummy it up just to move on. Pelini/Riley.

2021 established $50 million and beyond to move on from someone not meeting the hyped expectations.

There's gonna be a lot of buyers remorse here in 3 - 4 years and some broke athletic departments who decide to swallow their pride from this years crazy contracts.

If Lanning is the guy (seems so) and he doesn't meet expectations at Oregon they'll be able to breathe a sigh of relief unlike many others.

That's assuming they get Lanning in the $4 - $5 million range for 4-5 years.

Now that paying players looks like it's going to happen, the stupid is going to soar to unimagined new levels.

I'd almost rather UF not pay any players and pay low staff salaries and just suck every year.

One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small

Don't do anything at all
