Maybe it was a bad fit, or another opportunity to be a head coach?
According to AL.com, Will Muschamp will likely be a head coach or defensive coordinator at another power SEC school, but he’s done at Auburn.
Will Muschamp may be the next head coach at South Carolina or the new defensive coordinator at Georgia or Alabama. The destination is unclear at the moment, but sources close to the Auburn program tell AL.com they don’t expect him to return for another season on the Plains.Muschamp either has the gig at South Carolina, or Alabama and Georgia just present far better options for landing the coveted head coaching job.
His departure, if it happens as anticipated, would be the worst thing that could happen to Gus Malzahn.
After watching the program regress for the second straight year, Malzahn will start his fourth season as head coach on the hot seat from Day One. It’s hard to imagine the Tigers competing for the SEC West title next year even with Muschamp on board.
