Muschamp glad he answered call from an unknown number

Certain people love to say, “I don’t pick up my cell if it’s a number that I don’t recognize.”

Well, Will Muschamp is glad he did.

In December, while in Austin, Texas, Muschamp got a call that he’ll certainly remember for the rest of his life.

Muschamp explained to CBS reporter Brett McMurphy, "I got a phone call on my cell phone from a 352 area code. When I lived in Gainesville [as a kid] it was 904. So as I look at the cell phone and -- as a football coach you never turn down a call you get coming in because it might be the next great player -- I said, 'Hello.' He said, 'I'm looking for Will Muschamp. This is Jeremy Foley, athletic director at the University of Florida.”

"Well I've got a lot of buddies that like playing jokes, so I, of course, said 'What do you want?' He said, 'Maybe this isn't a good time. I can call you back.' I said, 'No, no, no. What do you want?' Thank goodness I didn't say what I would normally say -- or I may not be standing here right now. As I continued talking to him, I thought, ‘You know what? This sounds like Jeremy Foley.' So I said, 'Yes, sir, what do you need?'"

Muschamp’s first summer as the Gators head coach will be a busy one. Florida will host a 4-day quarterbacks / individual camp, a 4-day OL / DL / individual camp, a 3-day kicking camp, and a 3-day youth camp.

Muschamp will personally coach the kickers, all day long, during the 3-day kicking camp.**

Something tells us that he’ll likely wind up in Omaha, about 9 rows up on the third base line doing an interview with Erin Andrews, assuming the #6 ranked Gators continue to mash. Remember, this is the first year the College World Series won't be held at Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium. The classic gives way to TD Ameritrade Park.
