Will Muschamp has already moved on from being Florida football's head coach, now that he's the new head coach at South Carolina, being named Steve Spurrier's successor in early December. Florida's program has moved on as well, they just gave second-year head coach Jim McElwain a $500,000 annual raise, making him the highest-paid coach in the SEC East.

Despite both sides appearing to not be holding onto anything from the past, Muschamp is still repeatedly asked about his tumultuous tenure at Florida - one that consisted of a 28-21 record and an abysmal display offensively for four, long seasons. He was most recently asked about his time in Gainesville, Fla. by Gridiron Now's Tony Barnhart, in a recent interview. Muschamp reveals that the thing he regrets the most is changing the offensive scheme that former head coach Urban Meyer had put into place before Muschamp arrived.
"I probably made a mistake at Florida trying to change schematically from what they had done before," Muschamp told Barnhart via the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "As a result, we ended up not being very good at anything. These days you just don't have time to make a lot of changes. You have to adapt to what your kids can do."
While he was at Florida, Muschamp consistently tried to implement a spread offensive scheme under the likes of offensive coordinators Charlie Wiese, Brent Pease and Kurt Roper, and consistently failed to successfully identify and develop talent on the offensive side of the ball. If Muschamp can recruit and develop players, as well as implement an offensive staff that he can leave alone on that side of the ball, things might go much better than him in Columbia. S.C. than it did in Gainesville.
