Hat Creek Burger Company is rolling out the burnt-orange carpet to celebrate the return of newly hired Texas defensive coordinator Will Muschamp. To mark the occasion, the Austin-based brand has announced it is awarding the beloved coach free burgers for life.
A Tribute to a Texas Football Legend
The gesture serves as a unique welcome for Muschamp, who previously served as the Longhorns’ defensive coordinator from 2008 to 2010. After various head coaching and coordinator roles across the SEC, his return to Austin comes as the program continues to build momentum under head coach Steve Sarkisian.
Drew Gressett, a Texas alum and the founder and CEO of Hat Creek, noted that the offer is a fun way to recognize a coach who helped define an era of tough defensive play for the university.
“Coach Muschamp is part of the fabric of Texas football,” said Gressett. “Austin is proud to have him back, and we wanted to celebrate in the most Hat Creek way possible. If he’s drawing up plays in this town again, he’s not paying for a burger.”
Deep Roots in the Austin Community
Founded in Austin, Hat Creek has a long history of supporting the local community, schools, and youth sports programs throughout Texas. The decision to honor Muschamp reflects the company’s commitment to the traditions and people that make Texas football a central part of the city’s identity.
Known for its fresh ingredients and family-focused atmosphere, Hat Creek remains a staunch supporter of the program’s mission to bring another championship to Austin. By offering this lifetime supply of burgers, the brand is ensuring that one of the city’s most prominent defensive minds feels right at home.
