    a comment from blog.al.com

    Interesting...Fox 10 in Mobile says Muschamp, WSFA 12 in Montgomery is saying Spurrier...last year about this time, KNWA 51 in Fayetteville, Arkansas was reporting CTT was their new head coach...Maybe they're right this time, maybe they're not... WDE!!

    yeah...that blog has like 57 mentions of muschamp on the comments section...heres another choice comment:

    sparty and friends pulled a video from espns steve berthuim acknowledging the fox 10 report

    is posted only there. No where else. Not on ESPN, CBS, FOX or Sporting News.

    Sorry Danna. I will wait till the main line press pick this up and carry it before I believe it. I think there is more evidence to move toward Spurrier than Muschamp at this point and that is with his latest denial.

    Probably will be someone else anyway.

    I am not a Muschamp fan after how he left in the middle of the night on us. I am not saying he would be bad... but I would sure hate to be a reporter trying to interview him. You think the coach at Ok St was bad.... Geez. You ain't seen nothing yet.

    It just went on 6 here in Auburn, just wondering if anyone has heard anything new.  Watched the local news at 5:30 they didn't have much to say about it they just mentioned the usual suspects Gill, Dooley, etc.

    Wow. That was a lot of comments. As an Auburn guy, I just want us to get a good coach. The SEC West is getting pretty crowded with the big name coaches and National Championships.
