Norvell

[BuckyIsAB****]

6-1 right now, could have easily beaten UCF a year ago, 32-15 at Memphis, UCA grad, recruits our area already. Makes too much sense. Get it done Cohen.

[CadaverDawg]

Cohen isn't going to hire a guy with many rumored skeletons in his closet after his Cannizzaro hire. I agree that Norvell would be a good hire, but it ain't happening with Cohen. Many other AD's won't either, which is probably why he's still at Memphis

If he doesnt, its on us. The hell with that. Its not like he is Art Briles. He got another job, no reason to play the moral superiority card here. Especially when its all basically speculation

[War Machine Dawg]

He's who I wanted when we hired Jughead. Kept that train rolling at Memphis after Fuente left when I thought they'd fall off a cliff. Entertaining offense that puts points on the board. The key would be making sure he has a good DC. I don't give a damn if he likes the casinos, the sumbitch wins football games. And that's what you're paying a coach to do last time I checked.

This. It's one thing if he'd covered up a rape ring like Briles did. That should get you banned from coaching for life. But gambling? Hell no. Pull the trigger and get him in here.

Can't say I disagree with you. But you and I both know Cohen is scared to screw up with another Cannizzaro situation in fear for his own future. Sucks, but I'm afraid it's true. Maybe he'll surprise us though.

I think it's more than gambling. Rumors of Canny type stuff in addition to it. Again, just rumors and I'm not saying it should be a deal breaker....I just don't see Cohen risking his own job by taking a risk on a Cannizzaro 2.0 situation happening.

The one he has now at Memphis was good at Marshall and has done pretty well there. Adam Fuller. If there is a more proven DC somwhere Im for that but I wouldnt be pissed if he brought him with him.

Derek Nicholson at USM is also a name to watch. He is a good coach and fun to be around. Good recruiter as well

Cohen, I hope is currently worried bout his own future with this sloppy joe guy.

Agree

[BuckyIsAB****]

Agree

The interview he had with Finebaum the other day was bad. You could tell Cohen was biting his tongue really hard. I heard him unleash an absolute ring dinger on the State baseball team at Trustmark park in 2015. You could just tell he wanted to lose his shit on Pawl. Finebaum kind of had him in a corner, Cohen isnt dumb, he knows Moorhead aint it

If Cohen doesnt get the next football hire right he is risking his own job way worse than he would be by hiring Norvell

Very true.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Very true.

It probably wont happen bc it is too close to being the right hire. It makes too much sense

[Todd4State]

It's going to take our cigar boys making the hire to make it right if we're all being honest with ourselves. Just have Cohen stand there and hand the Norvell a cowbell at the press conference should be the extent of his involvement.

[timotheus]

the cigar boys are currently a puffing.....

[Maroonthirteen]

I’m in Memphis every day. Around tigers fans everyday. I talk football often with them. I’ve never heard of these “rumors”. I’m not saying they aren’t true. But if we hired him, I doubt anyone would mention his dark secrets in the bio.

Most likely y’all are being played by Highland Hundreds to look elsewhere.

[Dawgology]

These rumors are bullshit floated out to keep some top programs from outbidding for their coach. You guys, don't be suckers. He's a head coach at Memphis right now and everything is fine. He and that program are doing great. Why will a move to another school all of a sudden make these rumors important. Ya'll are being played. If Cohen doesn't grab him up after this season ending at 4-8/5-7 (which I think it will) then we know we have the wrong football HC and the wrong AD.
