Mike Norvell is out.

[Graybeard]

He signed his extension.

[Razorback Pastor]

Man...

[JONAS]

Link?

[jry04]

But Pig in the Pokey said he signed a week ago!

[Razorbackers]

But Pig in the Pokey said he signed a week ago!

Almost 2 weeks lol

[WestMemphisHog]

Hell yeah! Per ABC in Memphis!! Go Tigers

[CaliforniaHawg]

He's taking quite the gamble.

[ur]

and finebaum

[Karma]

If that's true, I expect to hear about our hire very soon. Sexton lets Norvell sign his extension while he still has the leverage.

[AirWarren]

Called it.

Just because his wife is from here and he played at UCA doesn't mean squat.

People don't see this a destination job or dream job.


Getting closer to Paul Rhoads........

[moses_007]

Crap, and he was the coach we really needed too.............

[redeye]

Yep, just heard it on Finebaum.

[Oliver]

Well crap!

[bjeffersonhog]

I'm glad i'm not PiP..... He's going to have enough crow to eat until our next coaching search.

[Svrdhd]

He must have been told to move on.

[AirWarren]

He's taking quite the gamble.

How? He is winning, getting kids to fit his system, and building a resume for a BIGGER job.

Intelligent.

[ARfan#1]

Precursor to Arkansas announcing their guy. Don't think Norvell would have signed the extension if Arkansas were still in play.

[johnny cash]

Bring back Bobby.

[Wildhog]

Kiffin, please.

[rljjr]

Another band nerd troll..............

Not sure how you think that's even relevant here. There's an actual link to him signing his extension from Norvell himself.

From the horses mouth.

[devildoghawg]

If we end up with Chad Morris and we blew this Norvell deal, I'm going to flip the F*** out.

[HogFansReunited]

Signed a contract extension at Memphis.

[Tortfeasor]

Dang, I really wanted him if we didn't get Kiffin.

[OtterHog]

Called it.

Just because his wife is from here and he played at UCA doesn't mean squat.

Getting closer to Paul Rhoads........

Paul will do well here.

[Atlhogfan1]

Lane Train!

[Pork Ranger]

But Pig in the Pokey said he signed a week ago!

Pretty much sealed the deal for him not coming

[ThisTeetsTaken]

Relieved.  He's too much of a gamble for the money. 

[NuttinItUp]

Move on down the list...

[jkstock04]

Welp, puts that to bed. That sucks.

[Captain Hogthrob]

Probably indicates we have our man.

[cjack]

I'm thinking that means we've got an announcement soon

[jgphillips3]

We better hope to God it's Kiffin.  If it's not, they have screwed the pooch. 

[Lanlord]

I assume he was told he would not be offered then.

[TexasRazorback]

He signed his extension.

Hurray, Now we can stop talking about Norvell to the Hogs, I think he is a great offensive mind but not ready for the SEC and the big lights. LETS GO GET VENABLES

[Ironhawg]

Let him get some more experience as a HC.  Maybe we bring him in somewhere down the line.

[NotSoFastMyFriend]

Kiffin, please.

Yes. This place might meltdown otherwise.

[hogfan446]

Where is Pokey at.... this was done over a week ago.  He wasted Bubbly BAWZ!!!!

[TexasRazorback]

We better hope to God it's Kiffin.  If it's not, they have screwed the pooch.

Ever heard of Venables?

[SquidBilly]

Glad he is happy where he is at.  Now that he is out we better get Kiffin.  No way he should have been eliminated before we made a final decision on who the coach will be.

[bjeffersonhog]

ball is starting to roll.  Sexton knows we have our guy... whether its one of his coaches or not.  Makes sure Norvell gets that pay raise and extension sealed before our news comes out.

[Swestwill66]

Probably indicates we have our man.

Yep!!!

[colbs]

Well Pokey said it with so certainty.

[BLS50]

Well.......ok then. Another one off the board......good luck to you Coach Norvell.   Now.....let's go hire a Coach for our Razorbacks. 

[Tusks]

Stupid move by the UA

[Tejano Jawg]

Well, fun while it lasted.

[Kevin]

he was told we have moved on, I am sure

[CaliforniaHawg]

Intelligent.

It's hard to sustain success at those mid-majors. That's why coaches usually get in and out as quick as they can.

My post was mainly just a joke about his gambling rumors though. My guess is this is more of the bigger programs passing over Norvell, rather than Norvell passing on the bigger progrms.
