How much worse would it have been. We probably would’ve just hired Muschamp. Nobody wouldve blamed Kirby for going to UGA, his Alma mater, before he coached a game here. Would it have been embarrassing? Maybe. But are we really trying to make the Muschamp era not rock bottom? I remember the LSU game where TJ Finley looked like a future 1st round pick. See how bad he was this year for Auburn? I remember us not covering the best WR in the league last season against Ole Miss. I’m not saying we gave up a big day…I’m talking about the best player on the field and nobody within 30 yards of him…from a defensive minded coach.
Why reach guys? The Muschamp hire was a disaster. We could’ve hired anybody and got, at worst, the same results. Not sure how any candidate could’ve been worse.
