With NIL and the blue bloods getting bluer- I will be shocked if he goes to Grenada Without The Lake
For pre-Internet it was about as big as you could get. Ole Miss changed their entire offense to try to get him. When he committed to Tennessee their fans were burning Archie in effigy. It was a complete melt and freak out and I can only imagine what it would have been like today with social media. They literally hired Cutcliffe in part to get Eli.
I will be too. It was never Ole Miss. He was going to LSU when they were high on Joe Burrow and coming off of the National Championship. But then since they tanked it has been Georgia, Texas, or Alabama. Georgia probably leads now but I'm not counting out Saban. They can offer a QB a million and they'll do it if they really want him.
Huh?
When Peyton came out.... They fired Brewer because of the ncaa investigation. That investigation lingered. They had to hire an interim HC in Joe Lee Dunn until it settled. The reason Peyton didn't go there was because their football program was in complete disarray from the ncaa investigation.
You put snot on the ball?
Actually, Ole Miss being Ole Miss fought the NCAA and ended up having to fire Brewer in I think July before the 1994 season. Peyton had signed with Tennessee that February. You're right that Peyton didn't go there because they were in dissarray. I'm also right that they changed their entire offensive scheme to try to get him. Larry Kueck was the Ole Miss OC and was there for the 1993 season with Brewer.
I don't see where loyalty, or the highest bidder has anything to do on which school Arch chooses. The Manning's want him to go to a school where the football program can compete for National Championships and for him to be developed to be the best that he can be at the next level after college. So whichever school can best provide that, in the Manning's evaluations, is where I would say he will go.
