That would be very interesting.... Black Bears have plenty of conference money versus us to use...

But just think how much pride the Black Bears would have to swallow to hire a Memphis coach.......

Pride is a large pill. It's naive to think a "national program" as irrelevant as UMiss would not try to recruit a local coach, again.

Go to Hell

Seldom has a football program with so much resources accomplished so little.

GTHOM!

If someone has a twitter acct, might I suggest asking Dr Rudd? I've heard he is very responsive.

If we can win 10 games though, he might not ever coach in it.

I'd much rather have coaches hired away for having 10 win seasons at Memphis over the long string of fired coaches pre-Fuente...

Dempsey? fired...Bailey? resigned to avoid being fired amid NCAA investigation...Stobart? resigned to avoid being fired...Rip Scherer? fired...Tommy West? fired...Larry Porter? fired.

That was easy...

but why would you hire a former staff member of someone you just fired?

Norvell and the ASU coach are very good friends and I doubt Norvell would take over the head coaching job from his fired close friend.

Just remember. The longer you stall the sooner Norvell leaves for another job. So get it done!

if Chip Long's offense at ND looks solid this season...I'd like to see him follow Norvell as Memphis HC.

About as much pride as UK had to swallow to get Cal.

Honestly if they can hire our coach away it proves they are a better program than us...Not sure that is having to swallow pride.

But you're looking at it from a Tiger fan perspective. From an OM perspective, many of them think they are so far beyond Memphis that they would not want anyone to think we have anything they want.

Bowen said on the radio the other day that they were working in some office and support areas first, fixing the existing outdoor practice turf that apparently was badly torn. The new facility would start soon when they got some official things done. I guess that could be the bids. But the language he used was the PF was phase two for FB on south campus.

But he also said get your tickets fast they are selling out.

Nonsense. They would just crow about how "If we want your coach, we'll TAKE your coach."
