Think about how many times Sark said they want to play tighter coverage in the secondary. It was a like a 4 year running thing. I am not sure this will make Texas a better defense, but it will definitely change how they play defense. Much more aggressive defense. It may make Texas a more physical team and culture.

Not a bad thing And considering PK had trouble with the Briles' tree veer and shoot, and now 2 coaches in the SEC who run it (Briles at SC and Lebby), we won't give up 38 points to MSST again

No idea if this works out, but it certainly comes with risk.
December 18Dec 18 This is an easy upgrade and allows us to have an experienced SEC-caliber DC instead of the woke pac 12 style of defense we have had under PK. Now he can go coach in california like he always wanted and Muschamp gets to return here.

It may make Texas a more physical team and culture. Was thinking about that. Texas under Sark have had a nasty habit of starting slow, playing catchup, then trying to hold off teams late. There’s been no killer instinct. And part of that is because PK defenses sit back and keep the ball in front of them to reduce big plays and force other teams to work their way downfield. For the most part, the Texas defenses have been very very good. But when they ran into aggressive teams, they struggled more. Maybe Muschamp does bring a little more edge to the D and they make more big defensive plays, and the team overall is more aggressive.
December 18Dec 18 Guy knows the SEC backwards and forwards and his time as an coach/analyst with UGA certainly won’t hurt.

Our D has been amazing, our Offense has struggled and in no imaginary world can that be attributed to the defense. I'm sort of pissed about this, I want to see the Offense get the attention it needs. PK had his side of the ball humming

December 18Dec 18 Muschamp is an upgrade, especially if PK was wanting to go back west coast. All of you(myself included) who have been screaming about the soft coverage we always run, that has been PK calling the defense. Also for a few years now, there have been rumblings from people that PK isn't the strongest recruiter, I have no idea if that is correct. But I do know a guy who played for him who pointed out that he isn't a big recruiter and that was part of the issues we had recruiting defense a few years ago. Look PK built the defense back up and I appreciate the hell out of his work and wish him well, but Muschamp is again an upgrade.

Sark is replacing one of the best DCs in the country. This is not like firing Akina. Edited December 18Dec 18 by Codaxx

December 18Dec 18 I mean, the defense is just going to be a shit show in the bowl game. Embrace it even if we lose who cares. It’s all about 2026. We should see if Michigan will agree to just do a “skills challenge and autograph session”. This doesn’t even feel like a real game anymore.

December 18Dec 18 PK also had zero personality and couldn't even be sent on the road recruiting. He offered zero value in that area. Not saying Muschamp will be burning the road on the recruiting trail but he is surely going to offer more in that department.
December 18Dec 18 And anyone upset about this just ask yourself one simple question… who has been better at defense the past few years, us or Georgia? It’s an easy answer. And yes I know muschamp wasn’t DC there, I’d still favor anyone on their staff over ours.

December 18Dec 18 Popular Post Texas defense ranks per F+ the last three years: 8th, 2nd, and 14th. The odds Muschamp does better than that are pretty fucking low. If PK really did want to leave, then fine. If this was actually a firing the year before Sark is trying to make a big run at the title, then this was a dumb move.
December 18Dec 18 Sooo....any Georgia defensive 5 stars that redshirted this year we might be interested in?
December 18Dec 18 Are your heads ready to get blown? PK to Michigan, he will coach in the bowl game. Loreal has entered the portal. Looking to follow PK for a nice staffer job…….

December 18Dec 18 Will might manage the department better - help with hired, S&C, portal acquisitions, etc. Just be more aggressive

We're ranked high....but seriously ....Vandy, Kentucky, Arkansas, Miss State......the defense had some really bad moments. Outside of the 2024 defense, PK's defenses were never as good as their rankings made them appear. 3rd and 19 against vandy, end of the game against OU in 2023, etc. I appreciate PK and the job he did, but Sark has wanted tighter coverage since he arrived and this year it was worse than ever. That isn't Akina, he wasn't pass defense coordinator, PK called the defense and the coverages.
