Kansas University will officially announce Charlie Weis as the school's next head football coach Friday afternoon.
Weis leaves the Gators after just one season on the job as the offensive coordinator. The Gators offense was nothing short of a disaster this season-some of that was out of Weis' control-injuries to John Brantley, Chris Rainey, Jeff Demps and the offensive line. But beyond injuries, Weis brief tenure at UF was somewhat of a failure. He did assist in recruiting guys like Colin Thompson a top tight end in next year's class out of Warmister, PA.
Allegedly, Muschamp did not even find out Weis was interviewing for the job or that his assistant was in discussions with KU until he found out about the hire Thursday evening on his way to the Gator Bowl press conference.
At his press conference Thursday nigh, Muschamp said he was in communication with Weis "in recent days" and supports the move 100-percent. Muschamp says they will hire another offensive coordinator with a pro-style background.
We may never know the working dynamic between Weis and Muschamp, though there have been signs of tension. One area where Muschamp seemed to blame Weis was regarding the offense's inability to score in the red-zone.
It could be that Weis has always wanted to be a head coach again at a large unversity and the opportunity is just right. There's also another part of Weis which is defiant and wants to prove to a lot of people he can be successful as a head football coach.
It's probably the later.
