The 5th Play Turned The Tide(s)

Aloha!  Been a while.  Let's get right to it:  The 5-7 campaign for the Texas Longhorns was dealt a final death blow over the weekend as coach and defensive coordinator, Will Muschamp, left the 40 Acres to replace Urban Meyer as the Head Coach for the Florida Gators.  Texas did their best to prevent this by naming Muschamp their "Head Coach in Waiting."  One glaring problem, no timetable was ever given to Muschamp on Mack Brown's decision to turn over the reins to the program.  Did I mention that Muschamp just tripled his salary?  Yeah, that's a thing.  While $900,000 goes a long way in Austin, TX, $2,700,000 goes a bit further in Gainesville, FL.  So, what happened here?
