Who is Hiring Mike Norvell This Off season? Tennessee, Ole Miss, or Auburn?

[ShotgunDawg]

Should be an interesting sweep stakes for him.

- I was thinking Auburn may go after Brohm, but that smell on that rose may be fading after Purdue's loss to Nevada
- Ole Miss would surely love to hire Norvell, but, if Tennessee offers, I'm sure he'd go there instead.
- I could also see South Carolina getting involved if things continue south in Columbia.

One week means virtually nothing, but it's conceivable that we see coaching changes at Auburn, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Arkansas, Vandy, South Carolina, & Mizzou. Obviously all those won't be open, the coaching in the league is currently crap & changes will happening sooner rather than later.

Should be an interesting sweepstakes for sure

[Quaoarsking]

Definitely could see Hugh Freeze back in the SEC, unless he just feels called by God to stay at Liberty longterm.

If Auburn makes a coaching change, they'll probably give Art Briles a call.

I just don't know if anyone can really hire that guy after that ridiculous stunt yesterday. How can you take that guy seriously?

[ShotgunDawg]

Tennessee

This is my thought as well. I would normally believe that Pruitt could get 1 more year, but after yesterday & with Norvell being such an obvious instate hire, it's hard to not see Tennessee making the move

The assistant coach must have been told to make a scene with Freeze at the end of the game. The whole thing was one of the stranger things I've ever seen.

Not sure Pruitt will make it through the year.

[TrapGame]

I think Rich Rod is angling for OM HC but he has to at least get his offense showing some life.

Between OM and Tennessee it's like pick your own dumpster fire. Norvell may get a shot at a more stable program than those two.

Would Hugh bring his hospital bed with him?

[confucius say]

Hiring norvell could be quite the gamble.
Not sure I?d bet on that.

[War Machine Dawg]

If we were smart, we'd hire him yesterday. But we aren't smart.

Apparently Memphis has no issues

As evidenced by the excess of penalties in tutor gate, we are too morally superior to hire him*

[War Machine Dawg]

If what I suspect is true and Christmann is part of the tutoring suspensions, I don't think we win more than 6. Lawless looked like a bad Sun Belt kicker yesterday. And I might not be giving enough credit to Sun Belt kickers.

[ATTILLA THE DOG]

Scott Satterfield was my choice

He was suspended for a DUI.

Christmann had a DUI. He's not part of Tutor Gate.

Additionally, you really think the loss of Christmann would effect us beating 3 of Kentucky, Ole Miss, Arkansas, & Tennessee?

[Cooterpoot]

Norvell is meh. He’s nothing special.

[ShotgunDawg]

Norvell is meh. He’s nothing special.

I think OM & Tennessee would take "meh" right now honestly

[Maroonthirteen]

If Tennessee continues down the same
Path, Phat Phil will fire Pruitt mid season and insert himself as Interim HC. Book it.

[Maroonthirteen]

Got a buddy. His son is a recruit this year. He has visited many G5 offers and a few ACC. Norvell was down his list as coaches that impressed him. Take it for what it’s worth and One mans opinion.

[Westdawg]

I don't think Norvell has gone "through the wash" enough over some of the things in his closet. He's getting close, and if he can get his offense rolling, there is a distinct possibility that this might be the season he jumps - but I think it takes one more season to show himself.
I don't think Tenn fires Pruitt after this season, but I would guarantee that after yesterday he's going to be given some clear benchmarks that he must meet. If he doesn't make a bowl game this season AND/OR he loses to Vandy again this year, he very well is out the door at the end of '19

[confucius say]

Rumor is he has/had gambling issues.

Vandy and Arkansas probably aren't shopping for a new guy this year. And Mizzou may not. USCe - it really depends on how Boom does this year. If he doesn't win 7, then he gets a really warm seat going into '20.
With the BARN, it's going to come down to how bat-crazy they are going into the Iron Bowl. If he loses to any two or more to MSU, LSU, and A&M then he may be out the door. I think he has to win at least 9.

Auburn will make a coaching change.

[DancingRabbit]

I doubt he goes to UT. The Memphis-Knoxville hate being what it is. Memphis has been good to him, he's not going to shit on them.

[Quaoarsking]

Now I'm NOT saying that Briles is innocent or that all of his players were, of the 3 Baylor players who were arrested, one was found not guilty earlier this year and another had his conviction vacated over the summer.

Now these weren't the only 2 players accused, apparently that number is 31 (!) and 52 total accusers (!), and there is a 3rd player who was found guilty and is currently in long-term prison, but the developments this year probably give a sleazy program like Auburn enough cover to get away with hiring him

[Todd4State]

Auburn will make a coaching change.

I don't know if we can assume this. Early returns indicate that Auburn may have a horseshoe up their ass season.

Is there a luckier team in college football?

Has any team in the country been the beneficiary of more lucky break than Auburn?

The current horseshoe residing in Gus's ass was extracted from Les Miles's ass early January 2012.... He was the luckiest fvcker on the planet mid to late 2000s...

[Coach34]

Auburn is going to win at least 9 and wont fire Malzahn. They are damn good. Oregon is really good too and may win the Pac-12.

Tusk is right. Although Les Miles is never going to ever be topped in the luck department.

I mean- it's like the clock is winding down under a minute in the fourth quarter and LSU is down by 5 so of course they line up for a field goal which would make ZERO mathematical sense to anyone above first grade. So of course Miles would run a fake FG and it would somehow work out where LSU scores a TD to win. At least that's what it seemed like would happen at least twice a year.

Fact.

They are not winning 9 in regular season. Maybe if you count a bowl game. 8-4 ceiling (at Aggie, at LSU, at fla, uga, bama).

So did Michael Jordan. Who gives a shit?

They are better than A&M and Fla

[confucius say]

They are better than A&M and Fla

May be. But slightly better teams often don?t win on the road.

Bet is still there if you want it. You said 10-2. I said no way and offered $200. I?ll still offer $200 at 9-3 in regular season if you want it.

If saban had a gambling problem nobody would give a shit.

Norvell isn't MJ or Saban.

[Dawg61]

Auburn looks like an 8-4 team to me. Oregon was waxing that ass for 2.5 quarters.

[Cooterpoot]

Neither would touch him. But Freezus will get some looks.

[parabrave]

Will he want to go their? That will be their 10 coach in the last ten years** He will leave for AUBBIE or maybe FLastate when they buy out Tagg.

[TALL DAWG]

Freeze-us is one strange beaver but Tenn may be all in on someone who can build a dam....

[Rick Danko]

Hugh Freeze will never coach in the SEC again, and will probably need to go to the west coast to coach Power 5. That may be far enough to make the stink of what he did go away.

Tennessee is getting desperate. Other than UT I don't see a SEC option for him. Now, I'm sure Memphis would snap him up if Norvell leaves. Hell, he'd probably take it to eff with ole miss.

[thf24]

As a Memphian who follows that program fairly closely, I'm not sold at all on Norvell. He had a former SEC QB two of his first three seasons here, and Memphis brings in a deceptively decent level of talent for the league they play in by nature of the local area. Remains to be seen in my opinion if Norvell is the one working miracles, or if it's simply a leadership revolution in the athletic department allowing Memphis to reach their potential average similar to us in the late 2000's, because that's something that's also been in progress the last 5-6 years.

[Cooterpoot]

Everybody thought Fuente was great and he’s been disappointing. Success at Memphis is a byproduct of a shitty league. Norvell has lost every bowl game. He’s not a top coaching prospect. He’s fools gold.

[Dawg61]

Tennessee isn't hiring the weirdo that used to coach at Briarcrest located in TENNESSEE. Pruitt will get minimum 3 years.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Christmann had a DUI. He's not part of Tutor Gate.

Additionally, you really think the loss of Christmann would effect us beating 3 of Kentucky, Ole Miss, Arkansas, & Tennessee?

You might be right, but then you are telling me that some of the cheating m17ers didnt use game one as one of their 8 games? That strategy is stupid as hell. Now they have to sit against an extra sec school.

Which cheaters played on Saturday?

Players not on the 2 deep aren't listed in suspensions. No one from Tutor gate played Saturday

[Memphisbulldog]

That?s the least of his worries...

How confident are you of this? I know several people REAL close to UM and none of them have a clue about this supposed "issue".

[Todd4State]

Here's the thing about Freeze....

Nevermind the obvious baggage- what has he done with players that obviously weren't bought? And even with that talented group he lost three games including one to Memphis. That's about what Joe did last year with the same amount of first round picks and our fans are up in arms over it. Yet Freeze is a great coach? He went 5-7 his last year there, and 7-6 with players that weren't as talented in his first year there. He won at Arkansas State with someone else's players. And he just got shut out all the while embarrassing himself by coaching a game in a hospital bed.

Why would Tennessee or any other program not named Ole Miss want that?

I bet there are a lot of high school coaches out there that could have done at least as well as Freeze did if not better with the talent he had at Ole Miss.

[Homedawg]

If what I suspect is true and Christmann is part of the tutoring suspensions, I don't think we win more than 6. Lawless looked like a bad Sun Belt kicker yesterday. And I might not be giving enough credit to Sun Belt kickers.

Where do you get your info? Christman isn't involved in tutor gate.

All 10 sat out the game. How many times does this have to be said???

[Fader21]

I said within 3 years he will be at Southern Miss
