I know not many on here (myself included) care much for Parrish, but he was talking about this yesterday and said Norvell isn't wired like lots of coaches. He said many mid-majors in college hoops and non-p5s in CFB are coaching for their next job, but he feels like Norvell genuinely likes his situation here - both the city and the program he has built & continues to build. He said MN was telling him last season about plans for 3-5 years on down the line and how excited he was about that. Doesn't mean that wont change and he takes another job in 2 weeks, but its most likely going to take a cant refuse offer to lure him away.

2.6 million/year doesn’t create a fat bank account in Memphis???

At some point, and 2.6 million is one of those points, an extra 300-400k doesn’t move the needle much. First, it’s taxed at 40% so it’s actually more like an extra 200k. That’s what, 12% of gross income? It’s nice but is it worth the risk of being in a coordinator position in 3 years making 300-500k?

I'm guessing a SEC HC gets a bit more than what we can pay.

Some are but most are in the same range as Norvell. The university has done a fine job of compensating our coach and his staff.

Right. And I'm a bit surprised how he's been able to get raises for his assistants. Plus, huge facilities being built. He's here and sees the construction. If he likes his job now, it's only getting better day by day.

54th highest paid coach.

However if he decides to leave us, I have faith in Dr Rudd bringing in a decent replacement
Personally I'd like Lane Kiffin or Hugo Freeze
Come on Mike stay in Memphis and take us to the top five and the ACC, 12, OR THE BIG

So the street you get your info from has drugs too it seems

He's paid as much as the Miss St coach right now.

I still believe the article that said Norvell had met with Arkansas is junk. At least, if they meant he met with them this year. (They really didnt say in the article. We know he met with them two years ago) They probably reached out to his agent, and his agent said he's not interested at the moment.

From the Arkansas side, some believe Norvell was genuinely pissed at them for how they handled the situation the last time, and as of a week ago they were saying Norvell wouldnt even speak with them. Thats from the Arkansas side.

Recent articles on the coaching search dont even list Norvell as a potential candidate now. New additions are the Cinci coach and Justin Fuente. Why a coach that is tearing it up right across the river is no longer on that list seems to indicate the Arkansas side knew what they were talking about. Norvell isnt interested, and its possible that whatever happened two years ago has come back to haunt them.

I still believe Norvell wants a Herman / Frost type of job and pay if he were to move on. And he's proven he deserves that. FSU would liekly be a great fit for him, if they were to pay him what they should. But it looks like there's plenty of coaches who want that job, and they are taking their time in choosing. Even Matt Campbell is interested in it, although his buyout is stiff.

And Norvell's not under any pressure to move now. Next years team should be every bit as good or better than this years team. And there could be a slew of jobs open up next year. (Auburn may open up this year, and thats no joke.)

Yeah I updated the thread to reflect the story in the Arkansas Democrat which said the report was indeed fake and Norvell has not met with UofA.

They may not have met in person. But I am sure there were some feelers put out and maybe even some conversations but I guess it is possible that mutual interest was not there.

FSU would liekly be a great fit for him, if they were to pay him what they should. But it looks like there's plenty of coaches who want that job, and they are taking their time in choosing. Even Matt Campbell is interested in it, although his buyout is stiff.

And Norvell's not under any pressure to move now. Next years team should be every bit as good or better than this years team. And there could be a slew of jobs open up next year. (Auburn may open up this year, and thats no joke.)

I work In Arkansas. Ark fan her has a son working in Memphis athletic office that said Norvell met with Arkansas.

Then her son is is the AD or right under him. Even if Norvell did meet with them there would only be two or maybe three people in the entire department at Memphis that knew about it...

Ok I’ll let him know that some girl on a message board called him a liar.

He's paid as much as the Miss St coach right now.

I still believe the article that said Norvell had met with Arkansas is junk. At least, if they meant he met with them this year. (They really didnt say in the article. We know he met with them two years ago) They probably reached out to his agent, and his agent said he's not interested at the moment.

From the Arkansas side, some believe Norvell was genuinely pissed at them for how they handled the situation the last time, and as of a week ago they were saying Norvell wouldnt even speak with them. Thats from the Arkansas side.

Recent articles on the coaching search dont even list Norvell as a potential candidate now. New additions are the Cinci coach and Justin Fuente. Why a coach that is tearing it up right across the river is no longer on that list seems to indicate the Arkansas side knew what they were talking about. Norvell isnt interested, and its possible that whatever happened two years ago has come back to haunt them.

I still believe Norvell wants a Herman / Frost type of job and pay if he were to move on. And he's proven he deserves that.

And I'll tell the other poster that some dude on a message board works with a woman whose son claimed he has inside info said he's a liar.

Ok and I’ll just stop making stuff up and passing it off as inside information.

If would take a home run national hire to turn that program around...if I’m norvell I stay clear of that job...now if FSU or usc offer him he has to go,period.

2.6 million/year doesn’t create a fat bank account in Memphis???

At some point, and 2.6 million is one of those points, an extra 300-400k doesn’t move the needle much. First, it’s taxed at 40% so it’s actually more like an extra 200k. That’s what, 12% of gross income? It’s nice but is it worth the risk of being in a coordinator position in 3 years making 300-500k?

I'm guessing a SEC HC gets a bit more than what we can pay.

Some are but most are in the same range as Norvell. The university has done a fine job of compensating our coach and his staff.

Right. And I'm a bit surprised how he's been able to get raises for his assistants. Plus, huge facilities being built. He's here and sees the construction. If he likes his job now, it's only getting better day by day.

needs a bit of a refund from his DC...

54th highest paid coach.

someone from Hogville.net awhile back had said Norvell's peeps had already told Arky 'no'.
TIFWIW.

folks FSU is a dumpster fire right now. Jimbo didn't do FSU any favors his last few years there and Willie screwed it up even more. CMN could find a better job if he desired.

hope he stays another 3 years and we have this discussion every November

Dumpster fire? Eh wouldn’t go that far but with the right offensive minded coach and getting good players which I think norvell can do then he’d get that program back on track esp being in the acc.
