Oh great, another Mike Norvell rumor
I don't visit the site very often anymore because of the continued arguing and name calling but I had to report on this. This one has been going around for a while and seems to be gaining strength. There is a rumor that Coach Mike Norvell actually likes Memphis and enjoys coaching here and loves his job and his family likes the atmosphere around the football program and wants to stay here. He appreciates all the attention he's attracting from other schools but he's into something good at Memphis and wants to stay there to see how far he can take the program. Now this is just a rumor but it has as much credibility as a lot of the other garbage being spread.

Just gotta find people to pony up a 6-year, $32mm contract and we might get his attention.

Seems to me like he had a big bucket of money he was willing to spend to get us into the B12. I assume it's still there. A serious investment in Norvell may be the ticket to the P5 at some point.

Norvell and his wife genuinely like Memphis. There are jobs he would take but it will not be just any P5 that comes calling. It will absolutely have to be a place he feels is the right fit.

There is some serious risk here. I love what CMN has done here, but let's not forget that when he took the job, the cupboard was not entirely empty either. Moreover, 2 years of D-1 coaching results (spectacular, yes, long measurement period, no) with a stud QB in both years is a 'full sample'. Remember what happened with Opie?

I wish we had one more year worth of results - without Ferguson - to really gauge how good CMN is. I can pretty much assure you that Sexton is working this angle big time as in 'strike while the iron is hot'.

I predict 7-8 wins if CMN is here next year. Houston and SMU will be very good next year.

We offered Fuente $3.4 to stay. If Norvell turns down $3 mill then best of luck to him.

If we find a QB to replace Riley, we'll be back in the same position as this season.

David Moore is the answer and will be the QB next year. He can pass and has big time wheels!!

Mr. Smith and FedEx offered around $500MM to the Big 12 and those money whores came to him and wanted double and he kicked them out of his office, that's what happened to the Big 12. Now would Mr. Smith pony up more $ to keep a coach? It's his money to do with as he pleases but to keep the program building and getting Memphis to be one of the first phone calls when the next round of major conference expansion happens, I think he has shown he's willing to step up to the plate because if it's good for Memphis it's good for FedEx.

There is a difference in the situations. There was a personal experience Fuente's wife had at a local grocery store that scared her and she was putting pressure on him to leave. No matter what we offered he was gone. Sad story and he basically confirmed as much when he made the comments he wanted to go someplace that was a safe environment for his children to grow up in. I don't think he meant it the way it came out but it still hurt for him to say that.

Two seasons ago, I was hoping Fuente would stick around and continue to build on what he had started. I am hoping the same with Norvell, but if he does leave for a better job, I am confident our AD and search committee will bring in the next great coach.

FedEx Stadium sounds pretty good. Then again, so did the FedEx Big 12 Championship.
