Despite an internet report to the contrary, Auburn defensive coordinator Will Muschamp has not been hired as co-defensive coordinator at Texas.
Muschamp interviewed for the job Thursday, and OrangeBloods.com, a Rivals-affiliated site that covers Texas, reported that Texas hired the 36-year-old Broyles Award finalist.
The Austin American-Statesman reported otherwise, citing a UT official who said "Muschamp had not been hired."
In past hirings, the paper reports, including when Texas head coach Mack Brown brought in Auburn defensive coordinator Gene Chizik three years ago, Brown has moved quickly after an interview. Brown often finished the deal in less than a day.
Muschamp recently received a significant raise. He made about $350,000 for the 2007 season. He also has a three-year contract offer on the table.
Texas co-defensive coordinator Larry Mac Duff reportedly made $300,000 last season. He resigned Wednesday, citing "philosophical differences" with Brown.
Muschamp reportedly has an offer to coach linebackers and call defensive signals. Co-defensive coordinator Duane Akina, who called signals in 2007, remains and would coach defensive backs.
More when we know more.
