Will Muschamp Continues to Go Out of His Way to Make an Ass of Himself
Not only did he guarantee a Cocktail Party victory, but he made fun of the idea of marrying a Georgia fan.
For the record, Will Muschamp is a University of Georgia graduate whose wife is from Thomaston and whose brother coaches in Atlanta. At the time of their wedding, Coach Muschamp's wife married a Georgia fan; apparently, he thinks Mrs. Muschamp chose her mate poorly. I would tend to agree.
I'll tell you what, Will. If we're that bad, you turncoat son of a bitch, how 'bout you don't come up here and recruit, either? Just stay out of the state altogether; I'll be happy to keep the game in Jacksonville just to keep you on your side of the state line.
Coach Chump is rapidly working his way up into Pat Dye territory for me.
And don't even get me started on people who get married during football season. . . .

HIlarious...
your response that is. Muschamp is playing it up for the crowd, and stirring the pot a little. I suppose your reaction is proof that it worked.

What is "it."
If “it” means “flippantly insulting your alma mater,” then he’s money.
If “it” means “getting Florida fans excited for the season,” then I don’t think he’s done much. How much is this guarantee going to mean to Florida fans in three months? In October? The upside here is pretty small, and the downside is great and legion. He’s making himself an ass to Georgia fans, and Florida fans will come to think of him has a buffoon if he can’t back up his talk with action.

All right. And your point would be?
If he’s dumb enough to guarantee victories with reporters in the room, fine; he’s your problem, not ours.
Interrupting a questioner to take an unwarranted cheap shot at your alma mater? That’s bush league, and that, not the guarantee, is what ticked me off. He may win ten national championships, but he’s still low-rent.
It never ceases to amaze me how much more classy and dignified Steve Spurrier seems when compared to every Gator coach who has come after him.

Sorry. I should have been more clear. By “type” I meant something in which the coach goes about an incident in a way that probably wasn’t the best way to handle something.

Spurrier Classy?
Maybe Spurrier is not as low class and undignified as his successors, but I wouldn’t go quite so far. If anyone can figure out how to insult people at his own funeral, it’ll be Steve Spurrier.

Please understand that this is relative.
As Florida coaches of the last 20 years go, Spurrier actually behaved with better manners than his successors.
This, I assure you, is not intended as a compliment to Spurrier, but as an insult to his successors.
Go 'Dawgs!
I think you guys are getting a little worked up for nothing.
I mean, I understand that as a Georgia alum, it must sting a bit, but if we don’t think it’s a big deal, why do you? Muschamp is simply telling the crowd what they want to hear, and throwing jabs at Georgia is what they want to hear. I just don’t think it’s as life and death as you guys are making it out to be. I mean to attack a guys character (not that you’ve been hesitant in the past to do that) because of a flippant joke about his employers arch rival, is absurd. I sincerely doubt that Florida fans will be most upset about this little promise, if he loses to Georgia. Just as I’m sure that UGA fans, will thoroughly enjoy mentioning this little flippant comment, if UGA does win…but really who cares? We care about the game, and we care about the program, and we care about our institutions, but what I don’t care about, is a coach trying to make his new employer, and it’s following happy. Relax guys…it’s just a little joke.

I generally enjoy the occasional exchanges you take part in over here, but don’t tell me to relax about any aspect of this rivalry. As far as I’m concerned, Muschamp can go to Hell.

I have no issue with how you interract within the rivalry...
I just think that getting all riled up over this, is a little dramatic. Like I said above, the fact that Muschamp is a UGA alum, obviously plays into this, but for your own sanity, I wouldn’t expect the head coach of Florida, to do anything but bash UGA…alma mater or not. I was also mostly directing the “relax” sentiment, toward your fearless leader, who seems to operate with the utmost respect and class….unless there is a Florida football coach involved.
contributing author - Alligator Army
I don't deny that that's a legitimate criticism of me, Cardsfan25, . . .
. . . but you can’t deny that Florida head coaches say and do things that make it awfully easy to dislike them.
Think of it from the other direction. How many things can you recall Vince Dooley, Ray Goff, Jim Donnan, or Mark Richt saying that you found either offensive or dishonest? I’m not saying there weren’t any—-I’m sure there were—-but it ain’t like it is in Gainesville.

Might want to leave Jim Donnan off that list.

Seems to me
that Muschamp has this huge axe to grind. This is part of why his tack is so unsavory. Whatever vitriol he’s trying to inject in the rivalry just comes across as someone who’s crass.
The University of Georgia is guilty of providing him a place to play ball and receive a quality education which helped pave the way for his future successes. No one is looking for gratitude, but what he’s spinning is way over the top.
I blame Ray Goff.

-Erk Russell
I appreciate the sentiment, and the tone with which you express it, Cardsfan25.
Please understand what is, and is not, getting me up in arms, though: I don’t mind a bit that he guaranteed a victory. I think it’s a stupid thing to do with reporters in the room—-save that for the club meetings where it’s just the faithful gathered—-but I understand why he does it.
It was the shot at marrying Georgia fans, one of which he was when his wife married him. Read the passage, and you’ll see that he interrupted the questioner to work in that jab. If he’d just listened politely and answered the question with the guarantee, I’d agree with you that it was no big deal, but he went out of his way—-not for the first time—-to break in with a cheap shot at the school that produced him.
It was one thing for Steve Spurrier to rip on us all the time; he never had ties to the University of Georgia, and he had multiple ties to Bulldog rivals (primarily, but not exclusively, Florida). Muschamp is making an extra effort to slam us—-and he was one of “us” six months ago—-even when the crowd isn’t asking or expecting him to do so. I’m sorry, but as one of the people he’s insulting, I take offense at that.
Go 'Dawgs!
I can certainly see how that would upset you...
but I still don’t think it’s a big deal. It would appear that Muschamp is going out of his way, to make sure that no one at Florida, misunderstands where his allegiance lies. That allegiance is with the guy signing the check. I can easily see, that if the scenario were reversed, and say Kerwin Bell (who’s a fine OC) ended up at UGA, and took shots at Florida in the same vein as Muschamp, that it would bother me too. I’m sure you can understand how when I see a TKK article, with a Florida head coach being discussed, I tend to be on the defensive myself. Muschamp’s comment was unnecessary, but I guess I just see it as him trying playing to the room etc. He knows what wins in Gator Clubs, and that’s insulting UGA, and FSU. Should he have done so with the media present? Perhaps not, but I just don’t think it’s an event that proves he’s an “ass”.
contributing author - Alligator Army
I agree that this one event doesn't prove he's an ass.
However, the fact that he has done this sort of thing continuously suggests that he is. Once is an aberration; multiple times is a pattern.
Also, not to get overly technical, but I didn’t contend that it was proven that Will Muschamp was an ass, merely that he had gone out of his way to make an ass of himself. If you say that I am being a jerk, you are making a comment on my behavior at this particular moment; if you say that I am a jerk, you are making a comment on my character as a human being. Both are insults, but one is more serious than the other. I remain hopeful that Muschamp is a fundamentally good guy who is merely behaving badly, rather than being a fundamentally bad guy, which I do not yet know him to be.
Go 'Dawgs!
In order for this conversation to reach the appropriate off season/bored/dying for football to start level...
we should probably talk about Urban Meyer. Kidding. I am extremely optimistic that Muschamp will do great things for the program, but the verdict is very much still out on him. I suppose it’s a small consolation to know that you think he’s merely behaving badly, and not a lifeless, soulless, evil robot sent here to win national titles, and be a bad person….small victories I suppose.
contributing author - Alligator Army
In my defense, Spencer Hall described Urban Meyer . . .
. . . in virtually identical terms; he just put a more positive spin on it, for obvious reasons. :)
Go 'Dawgs!
I don't have a dog in this fight, but I side with the Dawgs.
You can play to the crowd and talk up your current employer without insulting your alma mater. One need look no further than Steve Spurrier to see how it is done.
Tens of thousands of Georgians and Georgia grads cheered on Muschamp every Saturday throughout his college career. Millions more wished him well in his professional endeavors, as long as his interests did not run counter to Georgia’s. Muschamp has now made a mockery of that support and figuratively spat on both his diploma and jersey. In doing so, he has revealed his own lack of character.
I fully realize that this is not likely to matter to most SEC-caliber recruits or their families, but I would be extremely loathe to entrust my son to the care of such an individual.

I didn't read anything in there I'd call a cheap shot...
he guaranteed a win, if you wanna call it that, in front of a Gator Club meeting. Why are reporters there and why are these events now news in the first place?
If you mean the “that’s not my fault”, it came across to me as a joke, nothing more, nothing less.
But back on the guarantee, I wish our coach had the balls and self-confidence to say, “you’re damn right we’re gonna beat Florida. And I’ll do everything I can to never lose to those bastards again.” If our coach said that at a Bulldog Club meeting, I’d be happy, not upset at his arrogance or lack of class.

I'm going to subscribe to the theory...
that Muschamp is working deep, deep cover to ruin the Gators from the inside. We all know the Gators have the biggest group of spoiled bandwagon fans alive. They’ll run Will out of town in 2 years if he fails to win 10 games every season.
They’ll run Will out of town in 2 years if he fails to win 10 games every season.
He’s not going to win 10 games in each his first and second seasons. I’ll be just fine with 8 (regular season) wins this year. Plus we’ve got the toughest schedule out of all the SEC teams. Especially if it looks like the team is heading in the right direction. As for the second year…too soon to tell if we should expect a 10 win season.
The Once and Future King
Editor at Alligator Army
I've always thought
that much of Florida’s success over Georgia in the last 20 years is because of a psychological edge; the pressure for Georgia to win. This was never more evident in 2002, when we had the better team, but still spit the bit.
With bombast and promises comes pressure. If Will Muschamp chooses this as his modus operandi to get his team fired up, good for him. But every time he opens up his mouth and disparages our school and guarantees a victory, the expectation, already established in the minds of Gator Nation, grow.
I, for one, welcome all the hyperbole he wants to sling around. I hope he keeps talking.

Florida may sign his paychecks...
… but he needs to remember that he would never be under the employ of the hated Gators if UGA hadn’t given his gimpy butt a shot at walking on. I understand his loyalties now lie with Florida, and I wouldn’t expect any different. However, he could have addressed his unique situation with class by saying something to the effect of, “I’m grateful for the education I received at the University of Georgia, and I will forever cherish my days playing there. However, I’m a Gator now, and I’m going to do everything within my power to beat the Georgia Bulldogs.” Instead of taking the high road, Muschamp has taken every opportunity possible to throw jabs at his alma mater , and that’s just indefensible and trashy.

Precisely.
That’s all I’m saying. Vince Dooley didn’t feel the need to rip on Auburn, even though, as the Georgia head coach, he was paid to beat Auburn. Derek Dooley doesn’t feel the need to rip on Georgia, even though, as the Tennessee head coach, he is paid to beat Georgia. Since becoming the head coach at South Carolina, a division rival of the Gators, Steve Spurrier has never denounced his Florida heritage. Examples abound of how to do this with class. Only Will Muschamp seems to feel the need to kick those who gave him his start.
Go 'Dawgs!
THIS...
is why I’m convinced Florida may have just hired the next Lane Kiffin.
With the resources Florida has, this hire made absolutely no sense… we’ve seen no evidence one way or the other about his abilities as a head coach. He might end up being the second coming of Ara Parseghian… but running your mouth before the first game is typically a bad thing.

Muschamp was an awful hire for Florida
He would have been a home run hire for Mississippi State.
Given his ties to the respective programs, he would have been an acceptable risk for Georgia or Texas.
For what many consider the plum job in all of college football, ANY coordinator without HC experience is a terrible hire. There is no reason to take a guy who might become a great head coach when you can hire someone who already is a great head coach.

Yeah, I agree that it's too early to judge this hire.
I thought it was a great call when Texas made him head coach in waiting, but he is an unknown quantity. Of course, there was no guarantee that a guy who won at Duke or Utah would be able to win in the SEC, either, so every hire is at least a bit of a gamble. This one probably is as safe a bet as these things get, though.
The Charlie Weis hire is a bit of a head-scratcher. It’ll be interesting to see how those two egos coexist.
Go 'Dawgs!
Exactly. Totally agree. Hopefully Weis gets along and is comfortable in his position. That will be very interesting to watch. So far so good. But as we all know, things can change quickly.

He tried to play at UF first though. He waited and waited in the coaches office to meet the coach. But he was out jogging.
The Once and Future King
Editor at Alligator Army
UGA made the time for him
I understand that Muschamp spent much of his youth as a Gator fan in Gainesville, Florida, but the fact remains that, when it came time for him to choose a team, Florida flat out didn’t want him. If they did, Spurrier wouldn’t have been “out jogging” when he was visiting. Ray Goff and UGA gave him the shot that Florida wasn’t willing to give him. Without the opportunity afforded him by UGA, he wouldn’t be the head coach at UF, so you’ll have to forgive any of us who take the verbal barbs thrown in the direction of his, and our, alma mater as an insult.

it's childish all and all - and reminds me a lot of Kiffen
Maybe win a game before pointing at the fence. There will be nothing funnier than all heck if UF loses to Alabama, LSU and Auburn (and this is possible) before even playing UGA. I mean, Will needs to screw his head back on. He is playing a possible NC contender, and the defending NC before the Party? Are you nuts? The cocktail party is the least of his concerns, and UGA is most certaintly not anything to be worried about IRT to UF.
I think UF is scared, and talking smack is just covering it up. They maybe on the verge of the worst season in a long while.

I sincerely don’t get it, he has gone out of his way to take shots at the school that allowed him to walk on and he graduated from, when there are some much more pressing and serious issues at hand. I would think a brand new coach would stay as quiet and focused as possible.

Good thinking...
and as someone who attended both South Carolina, and Georgia, targetting off weekends is a bad idea too. For one, there’s future anniversaries that could become problematic. Plus, there’s a good chance of other school’s fans being involved, and they may not be on a bye weekend. Between September 1 and November 30, having a wedding that’s more than two people before the justice of the peace should be illegal.

Had a friend last year get married during Ga/Fla, and I’d have been more upset if we had a more realistic chance of winning. But we didn’t, so I begrudgingly went. Spent as much time at the car listening as I did at the wedding (thankfully, the ceremony was quick and coincided with half-time). But on the plus side, it did make for a great photo of everyone, bride included, huddled around a table watching the game on someone’s Iphone as we tried, in futility, to make a comeback.

When Will was hired by Florida, I thought it was going to be tough to hate the gators and not hate the corch. It seems the stars and planets have shifted back into place and full on hate for everything gator is back on. He is proving to be the biggest d-bag of all. I hate the gators and pray to all that is Holy that we can send him and his jort wearing following home from the cocktail party in shame with their 4th loss of the season.

If you read the commentary on Alligator Army
You will see them saying “What’s the big deal, I want a coach to guarantee a win.” Again, here we go, that was the core issue on this forum. He most defiantly should support UF winning, it’s the dissing of all things UGA that is the issue in dawgland.. He played there, graduated there, and if his wife is from Thomaston (my Grandfather was a minister at 1st Methodist there) I can tell you it’s all bulldog there.
I really just think the standard “We aren’t worrying about UGA, we are worrying about our spring training” type of line is best, especially since he has never been HC of a game yet.

Muschump (ok, I'll never do that again) was on the ESPN CFB Podcast a few weeks ago ...
As I recall, he gave the Georgia-Florida question the ol’ Paul Johnson “just-another-game” treatment. Perhaps he got some negative feedback, especially from some of the older Gators who are squarely in the Spurrier camp that prioritizes the Cocktail Party.
I’d be a little concerned if he said something like “Yeah, I guarantee we are going to lose that game.”

CTCSOB is just reading the memo left behind by his predecessors on his desk
“The Florida Way”….be an ass in all things, especially in regards to UGA.
Really, Boom is just being smart in a dumb way. He has to prove his gator creed to a crowd that rivals the entitlement syndrome in Austin (remember, football was not invented untill 1990 in Gainesville). Being the sideline rabid fool is his persona…and he uses this to get the glare of the spotlight on him and not his players. This is not about his newfound hatred for UGA, but simply a ploy he’s been taught and counseled upon by some of the best (worst?) in being sure it’s the coach and not the players making the bulletin board material.
Remember Corch’s fight with the FL media? Boom is just warming up.

You have a very healthy and mature attitude about that, FlaGators.
There are, however, a large number of bandwagon Florida fans who seem to think football was invented in 1990.

I still obsess over our longest losing streak to Tech, which ended nine years, seven months, and one week (less a few hours) before I was born.
