Whenever there is a coaching change, fresh storylines emerge as the new coach comes in and the old one leaves.
That's been the case for the past nine months as the Gators transitioned from the Urban Meyer Era to the Will Muschamp Era. It's now time for new storylines to unfold.
Muschamp finally makes his head-coaching debut on Saturday night when the Gators host Florida Atlantic in the season opener.
