The Muschamp watch continues

If Auburn defensive coordinator Will Muschamp has made a decision on whether to accept an offer to accept a similar job at Texas, I don't know it. But based on the way these things usually work, it doesn't look good for Auburn.
In most cases, when someone in high-profile position like Muschamp's goes to another to school to interview, he takes the job. Maybe that won't happen this time, but I'll be surprised.
Word is that both Texas coach Mack Brown and Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville want an answer tonight. If that happens, I'll have that answer here as soon as I know it.
The question being asked by Auburn supporters, obviously, is why he would do it. Not having talked to Muschamp tonight, despite repeated attempts, I can only speculate. Among college football coaches, Texas is generally considered the best place in the game to work. The university and the athletic department are awash in money. Texas is the dominant power in perhaps the most fertile recruiting area in the country. It can dominate most of the teams in its league.
Having said that, I'm still surprised Muschamp is considering leaving.
He has a potentially outstanding defense returning. He recently received a substantial raise and is among the most highly paid coordinators in the country. He has told me on more than one occasion that Tuberville is the best coach for whom he's ever worked. He's on track to become a head coach, and could already be one at Southern Mississippi.
If he goes, we won't know the reason for it until he reveals it, if he does.
