I agree JF is not the guy Alvarez probably wants but he would love to have a guy who could recruit TX, OK, etc. since WI get most of the WI talent anyway (& traditionally does well in MN too for what that's worth).

Based on a strict dictionary definition of a "delta" that seems to be incorrect, but from a cultural perspective, it is arguably true. It has often been said that Memphis is the largest city in Mississippi.

Sure has! I didn't find out that it was damn lie until I had already moved up here. Been here nearly 47 years now and can't leave:

(1) Don't want to leave my children and grandcildren

(2) " " " " my alma mater

That proves it, TC is KE's split personality after he's had a few too many gin & tonics...

That's all it took?

We bumped into each other at El Mason

Couple of things:

1. This is basically a suggestion to Wisconsin rather than a report of who Wisconsin is considering.

2. What's going on in Badger Land? Two recent coaches bolting for arguably lateral or lower jobs?

I believe this to be true

He's a smart guy. Of course he won't. I'd rather him do that than say "Memphis is where I want to be"

agreed

I recall him saying, "I deeply appreciate the opportunity to be the head coach at The University of Memphis. I want to be your coach for as long as you'll have me." LIAR!!

Well.. sometimes people's wants don't pan out like they want.

What are you babbling about dude?

This contract negotiation is taking forever. Fuente probably has a lot of leverage and his agent is using it.

Probably mentioned here but who is the agent handling negotiations for JF?

Relax. Everything is fine

Waiting is a dangerous game for JF. If no other offer comes, we can increase the buyout and change terms to be more favorable to us than if we believed he could leave any minute. With every hire that isn't JF, we gain bargaining power

It's not what you think. It's actually just a simple matter actually. Be patient and let it play out. Coach and Bowen are busy men. They were down in Miami together this week.

Coach General Justin Fuente is fine, He isn't going anywhere soon....Also some of the Assistants should see some increases as well....PLus Big 12 will be coming for Memphis/Cincy once the waiver is denied.....University of Memphis, Delta's Team....The World Is Ours Memphis....
