Hope I’m right.

Hope so too, seems to be too many jobs opening up

My gut feeling is that we will beat UCF.

The stellar performances of both the players and coaching staff against an East Carolina squad that could've been easily overlooked ahead of next week's conference championship battle tells me this Tiger team will be particularly focused against UCF.

While I think UCF is a little better on paper, I'll take our chances against a team that may be taking us a bit for granted.

Go Tigers!!!

"Insider" Arkansas fans saying Norvell is not in consideration there, which sounds more like he said "No thanks" than the school not actually considering him.

Would be incredible to keep him!

Allegedly Sexton told Norvell to stay away from Arkansas. Maybe there is some truth there.

If he leaves, maybe we can get saban. I hear his seat is warm

I think so, too.

If he was smart he would stay. The odds are you will get one big time chance and then disappear off the coaching map 5 years later. He is too young for that. He has 20-30 years left.

Arkansas will be lucky to be second or third in the SEC west once every 4-5 years. Most years they'll be battling for 5th place in the west with MSU and Mississippi.

SEC east he would have a better shot only battling with Georgia and Florida, but most years would be battling for third with South Carolina and Missouri.

In fact, if he's smart he would not go to the SEC unless it was to Florida, Alabama, Auburn, LSU or A&M.

So, just hang tight Norvell, some year soon the perfect job will open up, its just not happening this year.

(you think he fell for it?)

Programs is the SEC West with better resources than Arkansas
1. Alabama
2. LSU
3. Auburn
4. Texas A&M
5. Ole Miss - even

Arkansas is arguably the 5th best program in their division. The idea of them finishing 2-3 in the division every 4-5 years is a big time stretch. Ole Miss, State and Arkansas are who they are... teams capable of making conference championship runs once a decade, maybe.

It is a great job to make big money for 5-6 years and then get canned.

I may be naive, but I can not understand why coach would want to walk away from the machine that he AND his staff have built here, unless it's all about money and ego.
If it was me and I had this train rolling along, the program is as good a shape as it is, and what's coming down the pike in the near future, why would I want to leave and go start all over again? Why would I want to go put that kind of pressure on myself. CMN has a good thing going, so it boils down to is his ego satisfied?

Because for most coaches, it's all about money and ego.

Landsharks and Razorbacks are evenly yoked peers.

I will play devil's advocate some.
What if memphis tigers go 6-6 next season? We lose a miller, fergurson, and some other damn good seniors. Our schedule will be at least a little tougher in 2018 compared to this season. This could happen.
He will still have a job at memphis but his seat will warm up some. He will no longer be the golden boy who has p5 schools showing interest with their nice contract$$$$.
I guess in short, I am saying this window of opportunity may or may not last a long time for him. So, that is a reason he would want to leave and 'strike while the iron is hot'.

Of course, I hope he stays. Go Tigers!

But, of course, that means he's Gonesville.

He doesn't have that loser mentality. No good coaches do. He knows he can do it similarly at Memphis next year. Lots of young talent with a large number of redshirts coming in.

He also has the confidence that he can continue to win and get offers. He is not looking to cash in on one quick contract in a bad situation where he may fail. He's thinking 20ish years - not 3-4 years then a firing by an unrealistic program.

He may leave. But it will be for the right situation - not just cashing in.
