Muschamp Staying at Texas

What seemed like a harmless story on Tuesday night of Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin leaving to take the USC job turned into downright panic for me yesterday as Will Muschamp was named as the Vols' first choice...and the only sound we heard from Bellmont was crickets chirping.

Now, when you have a defensive coordinator as awesome as Muschamp is, he's going to be mentioned in every big job that is available, but this one had Alessandra Ambrosio-type legs to it by yesterday afternoon.  We heard Muschamp was in Knoxville, we heard he was in Denver interviewing there, we heard he might even be in Dallas, and we heard he was flying back from Orlando along with Mack Brown.  Then even though word started trickling out that he had refused Tennessee's offer started to leak last night, Volunteer message boards and even a radio show were reporting that he had accepted a 7 year, $21 million deal with no outs to Texas and Georgia.

In the end, we really don't know what was true and what was not, but what we do know is that Muschamp is here for another year, at least.  Now let's just hope that no other SEC jobs become available next off-season...
