He is a good one. Great offensively. Young. Great recruiter. We shall see.
He would be a great hire if coach does leave but I hear Arkansas and Ole Piss are talking to him.

Search firms don't pick people, they just expose those who are looking for new positions (under the radar) and can make recommendations. The final decision is always with the employer who conducts the job interview.
Yep, you would think that would be apparent, but I guess it needs to be pointed out.
What needs to be pointed out is that Fuente leaving was leaked on the 28th when we played SMU, it was officially announced on the 29th, and Norvell was hired on the 3rd. In between we also talked to Barry Odom, who was named as head coach at Missouri, also on December 3rd.
Fuente was ticked off because the week before SMU, he heard through the grapevine that we put out feelers, even though he hadn't told us that he was leaving for sure. The scope of the search was to talk to Odom and Norvell, vet Norvell and come to a deal; all of which happened very quickly.
Again, it needs to be pointed out that there was no search committee; certainly nothing even remotely resembling the process when Fuente was hired. The whole timeline between Fuente leaving and Norvell being hired was 6 days, and we had talked to Norvell and Odom before that. Neither had anything to do with a search committee.

Yes, there was a firm. Contracted and paid at least $75k.

The firm is undeniable. The only thing to discuss is how involved they were. My contention is that they vetted Norvell, Odom, and a few others. Norvell and Odom were suggested by Bowen, and they investigated a few more. Then they reported back to Bowen. Who reported to Rudd, Graf, and Martin. Who made the final decision.
That is the process and it's not much different from that used with Fuente. Vet, contact, prepare a report. Decide locally. That is the process we should also follow this time.

He had met with Bud Foster earlier in the season...to see how well they meshed on philosophies and such.
I mean if he was gonna leave us high and dry, why would he be upset that Memphis was also looking out for its own interests?

You are saying that they identified candidates, presented them to us, and we interviewed them all in a 3 day period? That's impossible.
As is common knowledge, it was believed that Odom was the popular choice, but the school had identified and wanted Rudd, from Fuente visiting with him.
Larry Porter was fired November 27th and we hired Fuente on December 8th. We interviewed a few candidates and the search took 12 days whereas the Norvell search was Odom, Norvell and took 5 days.
One was a true search which identified different candidates and interviewed different candidates. The other was a glorified credit and reference check on Odom and Norvell. Big difference.

Because we started putting out feelers before he actually resigned. Right or wrong of him, that is what a lot of us were told.

Why do you think the search only took 5 days? Do you really think Rudd/Bowen didn't start until it was announced on 11/28 (which is 6 days until the 12/3 announcement, BTW)? For that matter, do you really think they didn't start the search for Porter's replacement before the firing on 11/27?
These things started weeks before. Just like there were things taking place last week, although an announcement won't be made until 12/7 at the earliest. And THAT is the benefit to using the E&B firm.
The facts common to both searches are:
E&B was contracted during the hirings of Fuente and Norvell.
Fuente and Norvell were NOT publicly known, obvious candidates. Their names didn't surface in the media until late in the process.
Fuente and Norvell were highly accomplished and widely sought-after OCs, with lots of options on the table.
Brad Martin and Alan Graf were involved in both hirings.
It's true that Bowen and Rudd were not here for Fuente. So the Pres and AD took a more active role in the hiring of Norvell than the previous admin with Fuente. So maybe that is the angle that you're coming from. But that does not lessen the initial search process that E&B conducted in both cases.

Putting out feelers was the smart thing to do. After all, Fuente may not have *resigned* yet, but he did screw the season by leaving the week of the biggest game of our undefeated season to travel to VaTech. (Week of the Navy game.)
He then does it again a week or so later to meet with Bud Foster, because he's told that he's not getting the job unless he keeps Foster. Fuente had given all indications that he would torch a season and burn rubber to get out of here.

If he has enough experience that translates, my choice would be Silverfield or Chip Long. That said, I trust our president, AD, and others to make another great hire. Hope Mike stays!
If Mike leaves then wouldn't he just take Silverfield with him?
Not if Silverfield is offered the head coaching job - duh!

LMAO, now it's the initial search process? The search only took 4 days because we knew before Fuente left that it was going to be either Norvell or Odom, the same way that if Silverfield gets the job, it will also be announced quickly.
It was announced on the 29th and that is when we hired the firm. Hopefully, you aren't suggesting that they were working for us for free before we hired them, but I wouldn't put it past you. The firm worked for us for 10 days when we hired Fuente and we interviewed McElwain and others in person.
When we hired Norvell, him and Odom were the only 2 candidates. From the 29th to the 2nd is 4 days, and Rudd announced that we had hired someone on the 3rd. The search didn't last long enough to gauge any other candidates seriously, and the obvious truth (which you are stubbornly refusing to believe) is that Norvell and Odom were identified early, and were the only two serious candidates. If others were serious, we would have taken more time to interview them. We didn't.
So you are free to say that we held any kind of significant search when from Fuente accepting the job on the 29th, Odom and Norvell being interviewed and vetted, and a deal reached with Norvell in 4 days; then go crazy, make yourself happy.
Common sense says otherwise.

Not really. Fuente and the staff visited Arizona State and we went on record saying that Norvell was always the guy we wanted. I hopefully, will be able to find a link to it.
Nobody knew that Norvell was on the radar. The search was either him or Odom and there wasn't a single mention of Norvell as a candidate whatsoever.

Norvell will be named coach at FSU by the end of the game Saturday if not during it. Silverfield or Chip Long will be strong candidates.

Stammers is very accurate.
Norvell was the main candidate as stated and it worked to perfection to get him on board. This is not an opinion or guessing it is from MN and TB.

Quote:At Norvell’s introductory press conference, I asked Rudd how long it took him to know Norvell was the guy.
"About five minutes," he said. "I’m not joking. We certainly did a thorough vetting, and a detailed background study, so don’t misperceive that, but five minutes in, I knew this was our guy."
The link I was looking for, but couldn't find. Conveniently, brought up by Calkins today.
