Will Muschamp, Texas Longhorns Defensive Coordinator


Being reported from My Fox Austin this morning, Will Muschamp was hired today by the Longhorns as their new co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach. This wasn't the first time Mack Brown has come courting an Auburn Defensive Coordinator and I would have to assume that Tommy Tuberville is not too happy with the situation at hand. For a young, 37-year old coach, Will Muschamp has already amassed quite the resume. Muschamp has coached under Nick Saban at Louisiana State University and the Miami Dolphins as coordinator and linebackers coach. The defense Muschamp coached this year was outstanding as it seems most defenses he coaches. Auburns defense this year was ranked eigth overall yielding less than 300 yards a game. They were 7th in pass defense giving up only 179 yards a game. Plus, they were fifth in scoring having allowed just 16 points a game. Stack that all together and you've got a pretty dang good defense to lean on.
