That may go double or triple when you are talking about a head football coach at a major program and the money, pressure, and scrutiny involved with that position. So it was with Will Muschamp in year one plus, but the man seems like he has an answer for everything now. http://florida.scout.com/2/1291221.html 2047 Bob Redman http://florida.scout.com/2/1291221.html Mon, 13 May 2013 20:25:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida After improving the Gators by five games from his first season to his second, Florida head coach Will Muschamp was named Southeastern Conference co-Coach of the Year, splitting the honor with Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin. http://florida.scout.com/2/1246780.html 2047 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1246780.html Wed, 05 Dec 2012 20:18:00 GMT 0 168 Florida florida It may have taken a little bit of time, but Florida head football coach Will Muschamp has become the current “Face of Florida Football”. Bound to do it his way and risk early rewards for future success, Muschamp has quickly turned a program that spent two years in mediocrity to one that is on the cusp of greatness again. http://florida.scout.com/2/1246423.html 2047 Bob Redman http://florida.scout.com/2/1246423.html Tue, 04 Dec 2012 19:02:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Florida head coach Will Muschamp conducted his weekly SEC teleconference for the national media on Wednesday. Saturday is senior day and the last home game for Florida’s seniors who will be honored at midfield and Muschamp talked a bit about the importance of this senior class.

All of that talked about here. http://florida.scout.com/2/1239911.html 2047 Bob Redman http://florida.scout.com/2/1239911.html Wed, 14 Nov 2012 18:01:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Florida head coach Will Muschamp has his team poised to clinch the SEC Eastern Division this weekend if his Gators can win Saturday against the Georgia Bulldogs. Muschamp took questions from the national media Wednesday as he does every week about his team, their journey, and the big game this weekend.

Muschamp answers a myriad of questions like he usually does in this transcript from his SEC teleconference call. http://florida.scout.com/2/1229014.html 2047 Bob Redman http://florida.scout.com/2/1229014.html Thu, 11 Oct 2012 18:22:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Every week, Florida head coach Will Muschamp talks to the media via the SEC coaches' teleconference. This week the focus is on LSU and he gives his take on the Tigers. Florida is feeling a little healthier these days as well and will see the return of linebacker Jelani Jenkins, http://florida.scout.com/2/1227542.html 2047 Bob Redman http://florida.scout.com/2/1227542.html Thu, 04 Oct 2012 04:53:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Florida head coach Will Muschamp talked to the media Wednesday via his weekly SEC teleconference. First up was a medical report on his team and especially the status of junior linebacker Jelani Jenkins. Muschamp talked about the depth in the trenches and how it is helping his team in the fourth quarter of games. Here is all he had to say to the media on Wednesday. http://florida.scout.com/2/1225390.html 2047 Bob Redman http://florida.scout.com/2/1225390.html Wed, 26 Sep 2012 17:28:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida The problems have existed for all three games this season. When the Gators get near the goal line or in a third-and-short situation, the Florida running game hasn’t been able to convert. The team rushing stats have been impressive over the first three weeks of the season, but it’s the inability to get the tough yards that has Florida head coach Will Muschamp rethinking the focus in practice. http://florida.scout.com/2/1222746.html 2047 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1222746.html Tue, 18 Sep 2012 15:35:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida KNOXVILLE, Tenn.—With an offense predicated on rushing, it can take time for the Florida offense to break a game open. Saturday was no different. The Gators secured their second win in as many weekends while trailing at the half. The focus of the offseason program was key. Florida struggled as the games wore on in 2011. Through three games in 2012, the Gators are thriving in the second half. http://florida.scout.com/2/1221953.html 2047 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1221953.html Sun, 16 Sep 2012 04:40:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Will Muschamp talks to the national media and the conversation is focused on the health of his team and the ability of Tennessee to really throw the ball. Here is everything Muschamp had to say to the media on Wednesday as his team prepares for their second SEC road game of this early football season. http://florida.scout.com/2/1220847.html 2047 Bob Redman http://florida.scout.com/2/1220847.html Wed, 12 Sep 2012 16:03:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida COLLEGE STATION, Texas- The Texas A&M offense had Florida on its heels. The Gators back peddled into the locker room at halftime staring at a ten-point deficit that felt like it was twice that. Florida coach Will Muschamp didn’t waste time grabbing his team’s attention. It wasn’t a speech that included massive overhaul of the defensive scheme. It was about getting back to the plan. http://florida.scout.com/2/1219530.html 2047 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1219530.html Sun, 09 Sep 2012 00:51:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida The game plan was simple. Run. And run a lot. Will Muschamp didn’t give offensive coordinator Brent Pease much of a choice. The Florida coach wanted to show the mindset he has instilled in his players since taking the job at Florida. It handcuffed the offensive creativity Florida could have shown in Saturday’s 27-14 win over Bowling Green, but that isn’t what Muschamp wanted to accomplish. http://florida.scout.com/2/1217192.html 2047 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1217192.html Sun, 02 Sep 2012 02:45:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Will Muschamp and the rest of the Florida coaching staff will be locked away in a meeting room for hours on Sunday. With two scrimmages in the books and fall camp coming to a close, it’s time for the coaching staff to decide where players stand on the depth chart in all three phases. It’s important for Muschamp to decide where the majority of the reps go as the team prepares for the season opener. http://florida.scout.com/2/1212783.html 2047 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1212783.html Sun, 19 Aug 2012 02:57:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida The Gators will be on the schedule for both new SEC teams this fall. Luckily for Florida, head coach Will Muschamp already has some familiarity with Missouri and Texas A&M. The spread offense head coach Gary Pinkel and his staff run at Missouri causes matchup problems, and the Gators will be the first SEC team to take on the new Texas A&M offense under first-year head coach Kevin Sumlin. http://florida.scout.com/2/1180861.html 2047 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1180861.html Wed, 25 Apr 2012 18:04:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida The conclusion of spring practice means Florida head coach Will Muschamp moves immediately into exit meetings with players. The purpose is to bring players up to date with where they stand in the coaches eyes, as well as Muschamp getting feedback about what the program can do better for the players. It’s a two-way conversation with each player that is aimed at improving the program. http://florida.scout.com/2/1179299.html 2047 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1179299.html Fri, 20 Apr 2012 21:15:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Will Muschamp learned from what happened during the fall. After the Gators struggled to stop the opponents’ run game or get a run game going for themselves, he decided to load up on players that will see time on both lines of scrimmage. Florida officially signed 14 players to do just that on Wednesday, adding size and strength to a team that needed it. http://florida.scout.com/2/1154876.html 2047 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1154876.html Wed, 01 Feb 2012 22:55:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Florida head coach Will Muschamp found the offensive coordinator he wanted. Former Boise State offensive coordinator Brent Pease was officially announced as the hire Wednesday morning. Pease spent one day in Jacksonville watching Florida's preparations for the Gator Bowl and spent last weekend in Gainesville with his wife before deciding he wanted to take the job as the play caller for the Gators. http://florida.scout.com/2/1147678.html 2047 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1147678.html Wed, 11 Jan 2012 18:34:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Will Muschamp has to replace a strength and conditioning coach and an offensive coordinator / quarterback coach. He insists that a decision hasn’t been made with either and that the decision will be made and announced after his Florida Gators play in the Gator Bowl on Monday. Muschamp talked about it and what he thinks of interim coordinator Brian White. http://florida.scout.com/2/1142629.html 2047 Bob Redman http://florida.scout.com/2/1142629.html Wed, 28 Dec 2011 02:19:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Florida isn’t used to fighting for bowl eligibility. When the Gators secured that with a win over Furman in mid-November, the excitement from head coach Will Muschamp about playing in the game equaled his optimism about gaining extra practices. That excitement didn’t change when Florida accepted its invitation to the Gator Bowl against Ohio State. http://florida.scout.com/2/1136039.html 2047 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1136039.html Mon, 05 Dec 2011 21:50:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida
