Ole Miss changes

[EastTN28]

This morning. He gave me the scoop that apparently Jon Gruden has land in this area.

It's true, he has a duck hunting camp in the Delta.

Hearing Archie Manning heading up the search committee.

I heard today about a possibility of Rich Rod with Stoops as DC.

 

[Mr_Henley]

If I were the new ole miss ad (fwiw I am available for interview) I would definitely give rich rod a call. Tell him the only input I want is in hiring a dc. The rest is for him to decide.

Stoops would then be flown into oxford.
CRR, even at his fail job at UM, he could score. Just need the D.

USM boards are going insane with the Larry Fedora to Ole Miss rumors.

And Larry Fedora's doing his best Tommy Tubberville impersonation, so people in Hattiesburg are getting nervous.

I figure Ole Miss will go after Gus Malzahn, he might want to leave today off the resume'

Why do coaches continue to go coach at Ole Miss? It's the least attractive coaching job in the SEC next to Kentucky, imo.

I agree it is not a top tier SEC job, but worse than MS State and Vandy? I find that hard to believe.

The reason they keep coaching there is because you get paid close to 3 million per year and all you have to do is get Ole Miss to a New Year's Day bowl kind of consistently to keep the job.

The issue with Ole Miss is that the older (age 60 and up) part of their fanbase remembers when they were winning national championships and even the middle aged part of the fanbase can remeber when they were winning SEC championships. David Cutcliffe did a great job for them but when the team slipped following Eli's departure, they instantly determined that Cut cannot recruit and hired Orgeron to replace him. They have money and MS is talent hotbed, at least compared to TN. I think that they're still searching for the next Johnny Vaught.

That's somewhat true, and you're probably right, the big donors are the older guys that remember those days. But I found most fans were pretty happy about back-to-back Cotton Bowls.

Most are realistic in knowing that we are not going to regularly be competing for an SEC title, but they want at least to be a contender in the West. We are not going to make a run at a National Championship. Basically, kind of like South Carolina. Well, if USCe fans had realistic expectations, that is.
