Will Muschamp’s UGA buddies conflicted about ‘that Florida thing’
Will Muschamp (30) started at safety for the Bulldogs in 1994 and was named defensive co-captain that season. (UGA photo)
JACKSONVILLE, FLA. — “Wherever I played has no bearing on this game at all.”
“There will be a lot of wasted ink on the fact that I played at Georgia and I’m now coaching at Florida.”
“I don’t mean any disrespect to anyone, but I’m loyal to people, not places.”
This is what we’ve heard Will Muschamp, the Florida Gators’ first-year head coach, say this week about his ties to Georgia. Those ties are pretty strong, as most folks can tell you. Raised in Rome and married to a girl from Thomaston, he played football and earned his degree in communications from the University of Georgia.
But Muschamp has downplayed those connections at every turn, understandable considering his current address. Instead he tells the Gator Nation that he really wanted to play football at Florida, having spent the early part of his childhood growing up in the city in which that university resides. Circumstances were such that, after breaking his leg playing baseball, only Georgia would give him the opportunity to play big-time college football. So he went there instead.
And that may well be the truth. But Muschamp also forged some lifelong relationships during those four years in Athens and his latest move in a whirlwind coaching career has left them in a conflicted state.
Whit Marshall, who played linebacker for the Bulldogs with Muschamp, was probably his closest friend while the two were in college. As it turns out, Muschamp also chose to marry Marshall’s first cousin, the former Carol Davis.
“I’ve been good friends with him for a long time,” said Marshall, who works in real estate and is raising four kids in Atlanta. “But it’s been funny seeing my in-laws become Gator fans. They were Georgia fans. Two my cousins went to Georgia, but now that Will’s the head coach they’re all big Gator fans.”
Muschamp also roomed with quarterback Eric Zeier all four years they lived in Athens. Zeier, one of Georgia’s most beloved players, is color analyst for the Bulldog Radio Network. Seeing one of his best buddies dressed in orange and blue and leading the Gators’ onto the field is something Zeier is still trying to get used to.
“For the record I called him up on day one and firmly announced that he was a traitor,” said Zeier, an executive with Bank of America. “But the serious answer is, as players and teammates, the minute you go into coaching your loyalty lies with the team that you’re on and with the players that you’re leading every day and you recruit to come to your school. We all realize that.”
Georgia offensive coordinator Mike Bobo and Muschamp have remained close in the years since they were at UGA. They used to talk almost weekly – that is, until Muschamp landed in Gainesville.
“We haven’t talked, except when he first got the job,” Bobo said. “Georgia-Florida’s a little different.”
Coaching a former rival against your alma mater is not unusual in the business. Auburn grad Vince Dooley led the Bulldogs for 25 years and Georgia grad Pat Dye coached Auburn during some of its most successful years. In each case, they downplayed their school ties when it came to the games.
“That’s the way you’ve gotta approach it, or try to approach it,” Bobo said. “Especially the magnitude of what fans think of the Georgia-Florida game.”
The fact of the matter is, as defensive coordinator at LSU and Auburn, Muschamp has coached against Georgia five times already. He’s 2-3 in those games.
Some have wondered if Muschamp’s presence in Gainesville has in anyway softened the rivalry between the two schools. On the contrary.
“Just the way this game has played out over the years, this game is as big as it gets for Georgia,” Zeier said. “It’s one that we want to win because we haven’t had success lately. The fact that Will is the coach heightens that to some degree and from a fan perspective it should. That’s what makes college football in the South so great.”
Meanwhile, no one buys Muschamp’s “it’s no different than any other game” spiel.
“It’s definitely one that means a lot to him just simply from the fact that he went to Georgia,” Marshall said. “But the reality is he’s been to so many different schools since then, it’s probably as not as big as if it’d had been a couple of years after he finished at Georgia. But I know deep down inside it means something to him, for sure.”
The whole thing is more than a little aggravating for Marshall, who said he always hoped Muschamp would remain at Texas, where he was “head coach in waiting” before taking the Florida job. Nevertheless, Marshall makes it clear that he “bleeds red and black.”
“It makes it tough, for sure,” Marshall said. “I’m always pulling for Will, but it’s hard to pull for him in this game. I have to pull for Georgia.”

You can have a lossing record and beat the Gaytors and still have a good season. I also have to think if CMR and company can’t get a “W” this Saturday, I will have lost all confidence in the staff in place at Athens.

I get it. He’s the Gator coach. But as a young person you never forget things like that and I am sure Muschamp has not forgotten that. Georgia gave him his start in footbal and he realizes it.
He just cant say it or the media will blow it up and then the crazies* would run him out of Gainesville.

Regardless of what Coach Muschamp says, this game will be very emotional for him. Regardless of who wins, he is going to get blasted by the losing team’s fans. I am sure that Vince Dooley and Pat Dye went through the same type of emotions during their first few years coaching UGA and AU respectively. Will’s wife should probably stay with her parents for a few days after the game. Hopefully, he will control his emotions better on the sidelines which are becomming an embarassment to many of us.
It should be a good game if both teams show up. Go Gators!

4 losses in a row for Muschump and the salamanders.
Dawg’s defense will be the difference maker in this game as they lay the wood in true, classic Junkyard fashion.
Hopefully, the offense can stay on the field with long drives and put up 6’s instead of 3’s by running the ball down their throats.
Go Dawgs! GATA!!

***************************************
So, Muschamp, a DC at Texas, was offered the UF job, with four-times the salary, and he was supposed to turn it down because he played football at UGA?
Any of us would have done the same thing if offered.
Hell, I’d leave right now for Atlanta if the Jackets offered me $3M!

There are enthusiastic and intense head coaches and there are whiny head coaches. Muschamp’s sideline antics sometimes fall in to the latter category. He can be such a crybaby sometimes.
If Muschamp wants to say he’s just a professional doing his job that’s fine, but dont’ go pandering to the Jort Nation with this “I really wanted to play at Florida” bullcrap. That’s a slap in the face to the institution and program that provided you with the education and background that got you where you are homeboy. If it wasn’t for Georgia it sounds like you wouldn’t have played anywhere. A little gratitude might be in order.
I hate Florida.

As an old coach, now retired, it’s easy to judge another’s character when he makes bonehead statements like that about loving the one you’re with because they’re who pay you. It’s not that the sound of what he said is shallow and mercenary, it’s the shortsightedness of it. Young coaches are looking at a long career and you need all of the respect and friends you can get and turning your back completely on your Mama (Bear Bryant’s name for his alma mater) in such a callous way will haunt you for the rest of your career. I’m not a UGA alum but if I was I would not take kindly to such a dismissal of your Mama. I hope that it’s just Coach Muschamp’s immaturity because I’m sure that Vince Dooley, Bear Bryant, Shug Jordan, Bob Neyland would never have said something like that. What has coaching come to?

Don’t blame the guy for taking the Florida job–it’s one of the best in college football–and for wanting to beat our skulls in on Saturday. UF is where his loyalty should lie now. But you don’t have to throw momma from the train. Can’t imagine Coach Richt responding toward U of Miami if we played them. Muschamp seems classless and arrogant. Come to think of it, he’s a pretty good fit for the Gators!

You’re making things up. He has never said either of the “quotes” you posted above. He said he was born in Gainesville in the shadows of the stadium and grew up wanting to be Gator. He has NEVER said he HAD to play for Georgia. He wasn’t offered a scholarship and chose UGA for financial reasons.

Read the article again, then read my comment again, rather than saying stupid things.

My point is he should be grateful to UGA for giving him a chance when UF would not and should not revise history to act like he was never a Dawg. If an UF fans think he will go easy on UGA because it his alma mater, those people are idiots and I do not understand why he is rewriting his personal history for their benefit and acting like UGA is something vaguely nasty on his shoe, rather than being where he made his name.

I am so sick and tired of this about Muschamp and his “loyalty” – and the AJC keeps saying he was raised a Bulldog fan – when Muschamp – who up until age 10 lived in Gainseville FL – has stated that he was a Gator fan in his youth. Further more – if you use the same logic about “bleeding red and black” because he played for GA – does that mean Mark Richt still bleeds “orange and green” – or whatever Miami’s colors are, because CMR played at Miami – or bleeds “maroon and gold” – once again, whatever FSU’s colors are – because CMR coached at FSU for most of his adult life??

I have friends who live in Rome and went to Darlington – the HS that Muschamp went to – because his father was the coach. They say that he wanted to go to FL (he was actually offered scholarships to many schools before he broke his leg) but basically chose UGA because the out-of-state tuition was too high for him – they didn’t have many financial resources – after all – his father was a teacher/coach – teaching/coaching at a private high school where they make much less than public school teachers/coaches. So – he chose UGA, basically because it was much cheaper – since he was a walk-on.

That is exactly what I’ve read. Does it mean he hates UGA? Absolutely not. I’m sure he had a great time at UGA and made some lifelong friends. The folks that think he’s now a traitor as the types that define their own personal success with a football team composed of 18-22 year olds.

“But it’s been funny seeing my in-laws become Gator fans. They were Georgia fans. Two my cousins went to Georgia, but now that Will’s the head coach they’re all big Gator fans.”
If you switch to the Gators you were NEVER a legit Dawg fan in the first place.
Muschamp bends over backwards to let everyone know he has no loyalties to UGA and it doesn’t matter that he played there. Muschamp is officially disowned from Dawg Nation. Here’s hoping UGA lays a nice, swift a$$ kicking on the gators in humiliating fashion.

What do you guys want him to say. Of course he will lead to being a loyal Gator. Stop making such a big deal over it and calling him a traitor. If he said nice things about UGA during the GA/FL week the UF fans & alum would be looking to hang him.
He is getting paid a nice sum of money to coach at UF. His loyalties should be with UF.
I’m by no means a gator fan. My background in college was baseball. If I pursued a coaching job and UF hired me I would be totally loyal to the gators. They are my employer and they took a chance on me.
Too many of you sound like a bunch of “num-nuts” on here bashing CWM.
If the Dawgs can pull it off there will be no Dawg people even caring about him.

My entire Dad’s side of my family, including my dad, are Florida Gators. Most of them, now aging in their 80s-90s and passing on, recall that ” UGA has historically owned us but not lately ( 20 yrs) not so much.” True, older Gators beyond say 45 yrs old know that UGA has controlled it over the long haul and that we Dogs are due for a win.
I had a cousin that played LB with the Gators on a couple of Spurrier led teams in mid 60s. We whupped them once or twice or three times, in that four year or five year span. I am a UGA grad and is my older sister and she was born in Jax at St Joe’s Hospital.
I will be very ill as usual, if we lose. Losing to UT and AU and LSU and GT, then SC or if ever to Clemson, THAT is bad enough. Losing to family is horrific.
Gators for me are family that need a whuppin.
Friends? Nope, we are a tight family and I pull hard for my Dogs knowing that my Dad would be pulling HARD for his Gators.

1.) If my son were great enough to go to the NFL and sign for big bucks like kids get today as a top choice as a college Junior, I would urge him to take that money and lock his future up. Knees and legs do wear out. Invest that money and he would be set. Loyalty to the school? he must have done well playing for that school, hence the big $$ bucks as a Junior and under classman. Use logic.
2.) Muschamp did graduate from UGA as did his wife. SO WHAT??? The man is a coach, so you kids out there read and move on and stop with the dissing of Will Muschamp on loyalty issues. HE IS a professional NCAA football coach and is making around $ 3 million.
This has nothing to do with so called school or lam mater loyalty ……………..his loyalty is to his career advancement, his wife and family. Period.
I am a UGA man too. Go Dogs. UGA 31-29 Florida.

Being a 76 graduate of Georgia I bleed Red and Black. But my father is from an area of Florida about 60 miles from Gainesville . I spent too many vacations with true Gator fans to hate Florida. They never said one bad thing when I would drive up in my all red and black Mustage with UGA tags. I have too many relatives in Florida to hate them. I always pull for Florida if they are not playing Georgia. I always pull for Florida State because there is no coach in my life time that I respect more than Bobby Bowden.
Now if Georgia fans want to save hate for someone direct it to AUBURN. Shug Jordan was the dirtiest coach ever in the SEC and I will always HATE Auburn. Ask the UGA players in the late 60’s and early 70’s what they think of Auburn.

Really? Did you see last year’s game? I distinctly remember two guys there named Demps and Rainey in Gators jerseys.

@TG — I really don’t want to get technical about the definition nor do I think it’s necessary to discuss the “logic” of one’s definition of the word ‘traitor”, but certainly it matters whether or not you are the betrayer or the betrayed. I honestly don’t get that worked up about it. At one point, I did hope that he may consider returning to UGA one day to coach. Now that I’ve seen that he has even less control of his emotions as a head coach than he did as a defensive coordinator, I am glad that he made the decision that he did. I echo BoiseDawg’s sentiments….he is another Pat Dye. Good riddance.

UGA fans are some of the most loud mouth fans I have seen through out my world travels. and 90 percent of them have never been on a field to play football

I don’t know who Tobias Funke is, and I’m not sure what his comment about Carol Davis is supposed to mean, but the tone of it is certainly questionable, unnecessary and shows a complete lack of class. I don’t know Carol, nor do I know her family, but I do know of them and they are a very fine family from Thomaston, Ga., not lacking in class as you are, Mr. Funke. I personally know the Muschamp family and they are fine people, and as a loyal Bulldog, I personally wish we had Will on our side, but certainly don’t begrudge him doing his absolute best for what is now his team.

It would be a much better sport if there were no fans who hadn’t played the game. Then we wouldn’t have to build all of the huge stadiums and when a player’s college career ended, he could take advantage of his free education to go out into the world and get a real job. That would be a much better life for the athletes than is sucking up millions of dollars from idiot fans for playing a child’s game until his brain is turned to mush.

I haven’t heard a kind word come out of his mouth since he took over at UF. He’ll get none from me, either. Here’s hoping the Dawgs hang 50 on the Gators. And when he invariably gets fired, UGA shouldn’t even give him a courtesy interview. All bridges are burned.

Good luck to all, and may the best team win—it usually does.

For a guy with a degree in communications, he sure knows how to stick his foot in his mouth. Hopefully after today, he will still be able to think a little before he says something, and not make himself look so over matched in the brain department. You shouldn’t try to add fuel to the fire you are going to step into. UGA should win this game. We have superior athletes, that are young, motivated and believe in themselves. As long as Bobo doesn’t play Mr. Conservative in his game plan and play calling, UGA will win. If Bobo, coaches like the same old Bobo, I say we package him up and offer to pay his salary for a year for any team that wants him. Let these young kids play, and let them keep scoring anytime they have a chance. This rivalry transcends any decorum in respect to showing the other team respect. If UGA can pound them in the ground, by all means, do it. It will help UGA’s recruiting and just might restore some fans faith in the coaching staff somewhat. I think our defense can have a great day against their offense, so the only hold back will be Bobo, if there is any. I don’t care how many points UGA wins the game by, just win it. I expect a certain element of the supposedly fan base of UGA, that will not be satisfied no matter how big or little the win for UGA is. They will just come up with their same old dry stats. about UGA not beating a team in the top 25, or something to the effect, that Florida was an easy game or UGA should have beat them anyway.

Today we put the wounded lizzards out of misery and in trash heap where people throws out the dung waste. We started drinking early to be ready to let traitor Muschumps and flabby schematic advantage Wies have it at game as they bonehead way to loss with Dawgs exposing talents on them.

I think Mushcamp might be a good coach in a few years, provided UF doesn’t put have to put him on medication, to prevent him from having a stroke on the sidelines. He did, to his credit, wait until the mid point of the third quarter to go ballistic this time anyway. I am not sure Weiss will be around that long though. It seems that his large girth may be causing him some physical problems, so he is now in the booth, instead of down there on the field. I noticed in one game a few weeks ago, where he was coaching from a sitting position on the sidelines and that is never a good sign. I hope he improves his health even if he coaches the Gators offense, because I don’t like to see anybody have health issues.

The reason of your jealousy is because UF has been in the AAU since 1985 and while Tech was recently invited, UGA still has not met the academic qualifications to be invited. Course a dump leg humper doesnt even know what the AAU is.

Vince Dooley never insulted Auburn. Pat Dye respected his time at UGA. Will Muschamp is the one guy who completely went against that… I don’t care where he coaches, I think it’s slimy and opportunistic to start claiming you never liked your school, the team you played for, the people who gave you a scholarship, the town where you met your wife… all to prove you lingratiate yourself to the basest of the school’s fans. Most UF fans would have had no problem respecting his history in the SEC.
