It made a lot of sense. I would have been just as happy with Dan Mullen or Charlie Strong, but I have a lot of faith in their AD. Foley knew what he had in those guys, so if he thinks that Muschamp would be a better hire, I trust his judgment.
Of all the candidates who weren't former coaches at Florida, Muschamp was the one that excited me the most. I love everything that I have heard about him. Whittingham, Peterson, Patterson, etc...those guys would have been ok too I suppose, but Muschamp has coached at a lot of big time schools and knows the SEC very well. Stoops/Gruden/etc was purely fiction and didn't make a lot of sense. Harbaugh would have left for the NFL after a few years so I didn't want him.
