We aren't hiring Norvell

[Rudy Baylor]

I don't have a link.

It's over on Norvell. Okay folks?

It's. Not. Happening.

I like him too. Great young coach. But he's too young. He's too unproven.

[Grizzlyfan]

So that's that.

[jcbville]

Dang. Ok then

[rhames]

Lol

[SPAL]

Welcome to yesterday.

[HF#1]

So you're a Memphis fan?

[Rudy Baylor]

Welcome to yesterday.

don't give a rip about yesterday

[247Hog]

So you're a Memphis fan?

Ole Miss

[jkstock04]

Excellent idea for starting a thread! Very informative and thought provoking. I give it 10 min or less before it's moved to the coaching search forum.

[Rudy Baylor]

my brother is a Memphis grad

my uncle went to grad school at Ole Miss

[elksnort]

I am asking this as a serious non sarcastic, nor trolling comment.

How is it some who post are so certain what they post?

Rudy Baylor posts with such certainty. Not singling him out. Many others do the same.

How do you KNOW?

No Gus, no Norvell . . . you won't see me shedding any tears over losing out on either.

Sorry Rudy, he's still in play whether you like it or not.

Is this because you have more recent info from a source than Memphis people reports, Barrett Sallee report, and others that say the initial reports weren't true?

99% of people don't. They give opinions off as facts. Such is the way of the internet.

Because he has about 15 duplicate accounts and doesn't have to worry about any repercussions, lol.....

I have no answer for that question at this particular time

[COCHISE]

Good.

[tigers68]

There's a thought out there that Mississippi State would like Mike Norvell (edit)

[greenEGnHAWGS]

I have no answer for that question at this particular time

You have have no reason for certainty..yet you give certain statements...? Hmmm...makes sense...

[KlubhouseKonnected]

So it isn't Gus nor Norvell?

[ricepig]

There's a thought out there that Mississippi State would like Jay Norvell

He tore it up at Nevada this year.........

[imtad16]

There's a thought out there that Mississippi State would like Jay Norvell

Do you mean Mike Norvell?

Or Jay Norvell the former WR coach and current HC at Nevada that went 3-9 this season?

[elksnort]

Because he has about 15 duplicate accounts and doesn't have to worry about any repercussions, lol.....

I have kept the same log on name since I started on this board in 2006. Heck, I would not even know how to change it.

Maybe I take things too seriously, but if you don't really know, then post accordingly or better yet, don't post at all.

[Rudy Baylor]

99% of people don't. They give opinions off as facts. Such is the way of the internet.

for one, his asst coaching staff has the experience of a collection of SEC "part time analyst coaches" and/or literally Sun Belt level.

It's working for Memphis. I get that. But his asst coaching staff is unacceptable. That's not Mike Norvell's fault. He's a young guy. Those are his guys. Cool. But we rightly fired CBB because of a collection of Assistants to the Assistants from NFL teams. Another staff of graduate assistants we're not doing.

It's not happening.

[ballz2thewall]

supposedly ole miss didn't want norvell because "a red flag was raised by something in his background".

that "red flag" was unexplained. memphis message boards say the "rumor" is the red flag is gambling.

that's what they say......

edit: norvell is a pick that i'd take in a minute.

Oh I see. You just don't want him. The OP made it sounded as if you knew something.

[COACHINTEXAS]

Good, don't think he's proven anything yet like most do here. I don't get it!!!! If a proven coach like Bielema can't do it, I doubt he would. Need someone with deep Texas ties!!!!

Well, you might not know it for a fact, but I will applaud you for providing some very sound reasons.

I agree with you in spirit. But when you post many times that the guy has not even close to what could become an SEC level quality staff, even with growth within a couple of years, and folks refuse to listen, then they need their bells rung.

Are these your concerns, or the concerns of the decision makers? Personally I agree.

He's not coming to Arkansas cuz his assistants at Memphis suck...? Am I missing something?

[Iwastherein1969]

If we're going to go through all the BS as is per usual at the UA, I'd just as soon keep the phat man and fire every assistant except Enos.

[elksnort]

I agree that Arkansas has a history of recruiting in Texas and probably still should.

But seriously, how is the defensive talent in Texas high school football these days?

About 15 years ago Gus was coaching high school in Arkansas. "Never gonna happen" is probably the only thing he's heard his entire life by folks like yourself lol.

[Billy Bats]

Last coach we had was "proven". 

[Rudy Baylor]

Well, you might not know it for a fact, but I will applaud you for providing some very sound reasons.

If you're interviewing him, you're going to ask who his staff would be. What will his answers be? Will he stammer and stutter? Then he won't get the job. Will he reel off a collection of stalwart SEC veterans that he "knows"? No, because he doesn't know any except in passing from the coaching convention each year.

What's he going to say? The answer would be that he's bringing his current staff.

That answer would be unacceptable.

[cjack]

Haha.  Rudy Baylor knows as much as his puppet avatar does

[jkstock04]

Gaaaaahh, when people post a long winded link and make the fonts tiny and long makes thread almost unreadable. I'm out.

[Rudy Baylor]

Are these your concerns, or the concerns of the decision makers? Personally I agree.

I don't know. If it's not the concerns of the decision makers, we need new decision makers.

I am not so easily swayed, but you make some a good point. I guess my philosophy major side tends to question certainty.

I like him too. Great young coach. But he's too young. He's too unproven.

He's in play, your info is leading you a stray.

I asking because I don't know. But do most coaches rattle off their entire list of assistants during the interview?

I figured they'd be hired for their own personal abilities, get hired, look at the current staff, review and replace as needed.

[cjack]

This needs trashed.  People read the headline thinking something has been decided but find out it's just another no name poster that knows as much as I do.  It worked on me, though.  Got me to read and comment.

none of what you just wrote has any relevance to this November/December coaching search
