Vols thinking Gruden is coming out of retirement to coach at UT. Every time they have to hire a coach this is the first name that comes up and they are so dumb to actually believe this will come true.

Don't know this for sure but we may be the only G5 school that is red shirting 2 4* players. That's a first for the Tigers!!

Matt Rhule is now 0 & 7 at Baylor. Charlie Strong jumped to Texas and was fired after 3 miserable years. When the P5 gives the big contract to the G5 coach, he is a hired gun on the clock to produce.

Norvell can afford to be patient. And I believe we are redshirting around 17 players this year, a high number for a school like Memphis. Arizona State has won 2 straight, looks like Graham might survive. Still think he waits at least another year for the right job.

1. Coming from behind to beat Houston
2. TJ Carter (from Nashville)
3. Beating 3 top 25 programs.
4. Players and coaches must be focused for all games
5. Fergurson (actions speak for him/hardworker)
6. Tulane offense is option and we must be sound on defense. Tulane defense is aggressive - we must take advantage of one on one coverage.
7. Changing Program culture and expectations and recruiting account for program turnaround (gave JF credit also). Gives Kudos to Tiger Nation.
8. Ends with “Go Tigers”
9. Hosts talk about finishing 10-1

It is very awesome hearing our fight song on Nashville radio and Norvell was his normal, energetic self. He excels at PR.

Thanks

I visited volnation to see if there was any buzz on Norvell. It looks like they are holding out for either Jon Gruden, Bob Stoops or James Franklin.

Delusional....they think Franklin would leave a #2 Penn St for the Knoxville train wreck or Gruden will come now when he wouldn't come previously or that Bob Stoops will come out of retirement.......SMH

I've wanted hale berry since the Fulmer days. That fine freak ain't rung me yet!

Where is Hale Berry coaching these days?
