The Mobile, Ala. Fox affiliate says they have the story, and that Muschamp will be announced Friday as the head football coach at Auburn. Their web site is current as of 11:30 EST Thursday.
Of all the candidates currently being mentioned / interviewing, he is most logical choice left that might actually fit in Auburn. He's also the only choice that would make me nervous as it would force Mark Richt to move extremely quickly and aggressively to lock Coach Searels up.
To clarify, I'm less worried about Muschamp as a head coach than I am about him going after Searels and being a strong recruiter in Georgia. Hell, we averaged over 40 a game against Muschamp's last 3 defenses (LSU '04, Auburn '06 and Auburn '07). The Xs and Os stuff is less unnerving than the other stuff.
Update: No other reputable site has formally confirmed the story as of 12:30 EST.
Update 2: Phillip Marshall of AuburnUnderCover.com (formerly an Auburn beat writer and an actual journalist) says that it's not Muschamp.
This is a fluid situation.
