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.
