you think bert took a pay cut to leave wisconsin to go to arkansas to win championships. ok.
six sec schools have won every championship for 50 years, so i guess the six that havent are are off the list.

i bet you think athletes choose schools based on academic value too.

Seems things are very hard for you to understand so let me TRY and break it down....
If Bert were offered one of those six sec schools, he would jump on it in a heartbeat. See how that works? Probably not.

If you take viginia tech to the acc championship there will promotion opportunities available I just don’t think that is what drives fuente

There is no single rule that will define all coaches

If that's all then he is gone

Don't get me wrong, I like the guy and all and he's a heck of a coach, but 2.5 mil a year would make him the highest paid non-P5 coach and make more than Maryland, BC, Mizzou, NC, NC St, Iowa St, Rutgers, Indiana, Pitt, Wake, Kansas, California, and Ole Miss (until they hire a coach that isn't an interim)

He's doing great things, but he's not Nick Saban, yet.

Last I checked, we're ranked higher than pretty much all of those schools.

Last I checked, we don’t have near the TV revenue of pretty much all of these schools.

I want Norvell to stay, but I don’t want to create another Opie Pastner situation where a young up and coming, yet inexperienced coach is overpaid with a long term contract. I say if Norvell turns down 3 mil a year to stay at Memphis, then let him walk.

Big difference. CMN can coach and his teams respond to his coaching. He can also recruit. Look at the great contributions being made by Freshman and red shirt Freshman. CJP could recruit but his coaching was always a big issue. His players didn't respond to him like CMN.

He's well worth $2.5M.

Personally, I'd love for him to stay but I wouldn't blame if he left for a great P5 job.

wow

Probably being naive and unduly optimistic, but it does feel a little different than with Fuente two years ago. Coaches still busting it recruiting on the bye week:

Norvell would absolutely kill it there, but think A&M will throw big money at a more experienced coach first, IMO. A coach with a P5 job making $3.5-$4M could easily get $7-$8M at A&M. They've already made all their big infrastructure upgrades, now they are ready to pay a coach.
