Terrific hire. He’s going to be a star.

Bryan Fischer ‏@bryandfischer That’s a really good fit/hire.

FootballScoop Staff ‏@footballscoop Mike Norvell is a quality coach. Different from Fuente. Will be an exciting brand of football. Upbeat, uptempo

FootballScoop Staff ‏@footballscoop A coach at Arizona State told me in the past: Mike Norvell is the best young coach I’ve ever worked with. Memphis getting a good one.

FootballScoop Staff ‏@footballscoop Mike Norvell: Hard working, very mature for a younger guy, leader. A guy others want to work with and players enjoy playing for.

Nice job Tigers. Memphis football is going to thrive for a very long time.

Sounds like he can give a great pep talk.

If you’re not familiar with Norvell, you should be. The rest of the college coaching community certainly is.

It was just last year that Norvell turned down an offer from new Auburn coach Gus Malzhan to be his offensive coordinator. The move would have nearly doubled Norvell’s salary. He politely declined.

Norvell is too humble to talk about the schools that have approached him. But according to a source close to the team, he’s been approached by Florida, Notre Dame and “pretty much every team in the country that needs an OC,” since the end of the regular season. He was also reportedly linked to the head coaching job at Arkansas State. Again, Norvell politely declined.

“Obviously his goal is to be a head football coach,” said Graham, speaking in San Diego Wednesday night at a media event for the National University Holiday Bowl. “That’s the only thing we want to lose him to is a head coaching job. He had some offers from some Division I schools to be a head coach which he declined and he stayed committed to us. We’re awfully thrilled to have him.”

They are getting more than a great coach. He is a great recruiter. When he was at Tulsa we got some great players from Louisiana, now I don't believe we have even one.

can we trade....we will give you Tubs for Norvell and a player to be named later
