PatBoCamRob 30 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I think Guschamp will be what makes dinkybear quit. I think "I'm too old" gets muttered by 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU64 10,122 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 JMO but the biggest (and immediate)impact he can have is to improve the talent pool. Might be able to turn around some of those guys who are on the fence or committed elsewhere....lots of senior departing from the defense this year.

caleb1633 1,418 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Should be a heck of a match up for A-Day then. That was a thought I had. How much better will our offense be going against a defense like CWM's every day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StatTiger 3,188 Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 The amazing aspect of Muschamp's accomplishments as DC at Auburn was that 67.8% of the scholarship players he had to work with on the defensive side of the ball were 3-star recruits or less. Of the 56 scholarship players he had to work with during 2006 and 2007, only 18 were rated as 4-stars or better and only 10 of those 18 players became eventual starters. The average rating of his scholarship players was 2.9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be anxious to see what the level of defensive talent will be around here now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoALtiger 3,849 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 He'll have some good talent to work with and more to come. Defense gets a little better overnight immediately just with Boom being involved. What a way to kick off the weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weagl1 1,781 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Look for some big time DL, LB and DB recruits to be turning their attention to AU over the next few weeks! Will has a lot of ground to make up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarTiger 3,896 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 While Muschamp had the TITLE of Defensive coordinator, I'm not convinced yet that he was the reason our defenses were good. Our defenses were consistently good over that 10 year stretch because Tommy Tuberville was here. We had several defensive coordinators and the defense hardly changed at all from year to year. It was ALWAYS consistently good. I'm severely tempering my expectations until I actually see the improvement on the field. Oh and for those talking about Muschamps recruiting prowess, think about this, Florida's recruiting class for 2015 is ranked 71st in the country. I hope this Muschamp thing works, and I'll be the first to admit I was wrong (if I am), but I'm not a big fan of this hire at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooltigger21 0 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 well nothing is guaranteed but the recruiting at UF was excellent on the defensive side of the ball. The offense, especially at QB was awful. We've proven we can get the offensive recruits with Gus and his offensive staff. Defensive recruiting looks like it's going to escalate.

stealthyfan 124 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 From the TexAg Board: These guys get it. Personal Best 9:28p, 12/12/14 LAG Auburn and Alabama now have the two most loaded coaching staffs in all of College Football. That state and rivalry are on a whole different level.
