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

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.

That's mighty nice of you... So you admit your coworkers son is made up?

It seems that a major determinant is when the AD and boosters aren't on the same page or there is a power struggle. When it happened here, we got Pastner, Larry Porter and Tubby. UT and Arkansuck are both a mess, and it doesn't even really matter who gets hired.

Im thinking his raise this year will make him higher paid than about 20 P5 coaches. $3.2-3.5 million would put him somewhere around #40 on that salary list.

Regarding being 3rd highest paid non-P5 coach, WTH was USF thinking paying Charlie Strong $5 million?

Very similar to the FSU job. They have boosters that want to run things and an AD that gives in and then tries to assert authority.

The team is a mess, but they do have talent. A good coach could have the team in the Top 25 in two seasons. A good recruiter and good coach could have the team in the Top 15 in two.

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.

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

Got several articles saying it did not happen.

Feel free to believe what you want.

I’ll trust the info that I get. Thank you.

Nope. Our next coach should absolutely come from our current staff!

Nope. Use the same approach that landed Fuete and Norvell. Hire an outside firm.

Word out of a 20 year+ SEC media guy named Tony Barnhart is the Ark people know they are at a cross road. They cannot afford to miss on the next hire or they are really in deep, without much of a chance of coming up for a long time. They want someone who is a current HC at a P5 school with a proven record. Mike Leach's name was dropped.

They put out feelers about 2 weeks before they lost to Western Kentucky. It had been decided at that point that if they lost to WKU that Morris would be out. They were promptly told that Norvell was not willing to discuss jobs until after the season.

You may be giving too much credit here in West TN, to the hurt feelings of the folks in East TN. I don't want him. But if the Admin went after him, I don't think Vawls fans could stop them.

I don’t think he would come to Memphis, nor would he be one I would like to see running our program. But you have to admit it would stir them knuckle-dragging, cousin-kissing country bumpkins up like a hornets nest, wouldn’t it? Almost worth the entertainment value....

That might make sense.

He has won at WSU and might want to get back to the south. He could win there if he's won at TT and WSU. And while he got a roster, they'd be bad, but FUN bad.

That would make sense.

A few years ago (and this may still be true, for that matter), Memphis paid its football staff more than Purdue did.

Read that again - our assistants got paid more than Purdue's did.

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.

05-sosad

I actually did not call him a liar. I simply stated that IF Norvell did meet with AR that only a few people in our athletic department would know about so your friend's son must be very high ranking... Your response indicates to me that he is not and thus was yes lying. If our entire AD knew about the meeting then so would Arkansas' and be impossible to keep quiet. Just using some common sense here.

https://sports.usatoday.com/ncaa/salaries/

Im thinking his raise this year will make him higher paid than about 20 P5 coaches. $3.2-3.5 million would put him somewhere around #40 on that salary list.

Regarding being 3rd highest paid non-P5 coach, WTH was USF thinking paying Charlie Strong $5 million?

Charlie Strong's contract is a head scratcher, for sure. And USF fans are not too happy.

His salary is actually $2.5M - makes sense. But there is a $2.5M bonus that pays out if he stays through year 3 - which is this year. There's also a $2.5M buyout this year (drops next year). So either way, he gets an additional $2.5M this year. That's a one-time deal for year 3. He's not getting an annual salary of $5M.

What's really ticked off most of their fans is the $2.5M bonus was in a 2nd secret contract, that they just recently found out about.

Or Freeze.

I think btiger has hacked your account.

Nah, I was reading it on football scoop which said that sources said they had talked to Norvell but no one has verified that anywhere. It's basically spit balling.

Quote:The whisper within the profession is that Arkansas has met with another candidate already and is expected to meet with others in the coming week. It will be interesting to see if the Hogs make a trip to visit with Hugh Freeze who many coaches believe could step in a right the ship quickly.

Interesting that Arkinsaw fired Petrino for extramarital activities, but would now consider Hughie. Funny how a few bad seasons will change perspectives.

Arkansas fired Petrino for WHO he was having a relationship with and the job he got her because of that relationship. Truth be told Long was responsible for allowing that to ever have happened in the first place. It also didn't help with the ASP Trooper helping to try and cover the details of the accident up.
