He'd have it figured out before 7 years

Not bad. Pastner inference in a little over two hours. Slow day.

Why not share some of those stories with all of us?

I second that, lets get some talent in here to replace what we lost. We still need a few with more talent at some positions. I want that NY 6 bowl trophy.

then he's gone.

our chances were slim and none........they were recently downgraded

Norvell's resume doesn't indicate he's a job hopper and he's remained loyal to his mentors and sponsors. He turned down Malzahn's offer to run the Auburn offense so working in the SEC is not his hot button. If we take decent care of him financially for his successes and Bowen doesn't piss him off or try to micromanage him we just might have a keeper for a while.

If not for Jimmy Sexton's input, UCF almost had him and Larry Porter together as a recruiting tandem and in Florida they would have absolutely torn it up. Norvell and Porter are still close friends.

Fuente was a young,first time HC at Memphis. He had to grow into the job.
He "struggled" with losing seasons his first two years.

Fuente was arguably the nation's hottest candidate in the recent coaching carousel . He didnt do so bad here.

otay...But now it's time for you to either tell us some good stuff you've heard or at least tell me. Good stuff is good to hear.

I watched Zona a couple times when they really clicked offensively, so I'm pretty amped for next season.
not kidding.

I'm still learning the ropes on what "is" and "is not" acceptable to share in this place.

Don't mention Kroger on Sanderlyn.

This is why nobody likes you

He won my confidence and admiration the day I heard him speak at the introductory press conference. The fact that he chose to come here speaks volumes - Fuente's success in the last two seasons is a very tough act to follow (might have even been a factor in his leaving). Actions speak louder than words. While Norvell's words were convincing, taking this job proves that he has a great deal of courage, confidence in himself and/or belief in the potential of Tiger football. As the 3rd-highest-paid assistant in college football, he had plenty of opportunities elsewhere, for sure.

Interesting - I had forgotten that Porter coached at Arizona State in 2012.

he took the job because it has a decent returning roster and an easy upcoming schedule. win 8 games the next two years and he'll go get paid!!

Stop it. You've even turned Juggoman into a practicing futilitarian.

not a chance in hell!!

you haven't been around here long enough to know that sexton is an enemy to our program. he would never do anything to help us. in fact, the good posters say that he steers coaches away from this job


just hang around and the good posters will fill you in on all of the people that are out to destroy us.......and it is a long lisst

Enemies and Friends come and go but fans remain the same.

Errbody gets a juice box!! I'm buying.

Not at all, I'm a realist and I realize without a P5 invite we are merely a steppingstone for coaches. TrUEth

Well, this may not be enough to run him off...yet. But if my new assistant still had my predecessor's name listed as her boss in her company bio two months after I got here, my feelings would be hurt.
