Tennessee could not hire an assistant coach?

I have a feeling that there is a lot more to Muschamp's deal at UTx than has been made public.

And given fan expectations and the fish bowl their coach lives in, the Tennessee job may be "that bad".

Kind of a joke.

He isn't just an assistant coach.

It's hard to hire an assistant when they all leave to go to USC with the head coach.

Actually on the ceiling above his bed.

I think he was talking about Muschamp.

Just curious....is this "head coach in waiting" business written into his contract?

Yes. he signed it the same day Mack signed his big one recently. His salary gets bumped to 2.1 I think if he is not HC by 2012. (I could be wrong on numbers/years, but it is in the contract).

if you like to describe things by their lowest common denominator when there is other information that would be more relevant, then sure...

Don't take this as gospel, but I had heard that for every year that Muschamp has to wait to be head coach, his eventual salary when he does become head coach goes up something like $250,000.

Hack Brown is paid 5 million a year and he is only 59, it will be 10+ years before he steps down. Muschamp is going to waste some of the best years of his coaching life waiting for Mack to step down, sooner or later the hunger to run his own program will drive him away.

no chance Mack coaches for "10+ years before he steps down."

Muschamp is still very young. More importantly, I'm sure he has a MUCH better idea of Mack's timetable than we do and was comfortable enough with it to sign a new contract when Mack signed his.

Maybe he does leave for a lesser program, but he isn't going to have to wait 10+ years at Texas.

So Mack gets an extension through 2016 but Muschamp gets bumped to $2.1M if he's not the HC in 2 years??? Interesting.

What percentage of coaches coach all the way through the last extension they sign?
