*****Tennessee Football Coaching Search BIG BOARD [updated 12.4 10:47 am]

I would say the Memphis job is more valid to be an obstacle than the Alabama job.

Didn't CMN just sign an extension though?

 

[Freak]

I have no idea who the sources are but his tweets have been in line so far

That's a new account, likely bogus, and I don't think his tweets have been anywhere near in line.

I am not sure. I didn't even know he had been fired or was thinking of firing him

 

[Power T-Rev]

Expecting MIT beaver to make an appearance soon. Attention whores can't stay away from a good coaching search

 

[landscapingvol]

If the Memphis job is open or becomes open then I think both parties would be interested. I had never heard the Memphis angle if true but who knows at this point. He may not even be a legitimate candidate here

When I say in line, I simply mean timing with other news coming out

yes..Mike Norvell signed an extension and got a pay raise last year...
he is not going anywhere any time soon...
he did not get hired away from Memphis last year because of all his baggage and he still has it....

 

[jfite9]

Norvell has not really been linked to any vacancies, I question the validity of this.

Gambling issues?

He's been linked to Louisville and Colorado.

 

[Glocker_Alum_2005]

He's been linked to Louisville and Colorado.

Once they do the due diligence, he won't get the job. Mason, Tucker, Leavitt are linked to CU. Louisville still hasnt hired Satterfield? Get on with it.

 

[VolInNorthCack]

Was just about to say that I have heard Norvell as a target for Louisville.

according to mutual friends...
not trying to get the rumor mill going tho...
Arkansas wanted him last year and passed.....
He does not want his dirty laundry getting aired out just yet...

 

[Glocker_Alum_2005]

If it's CNN/MSNBC/ABC/NBC/CBS or any of the other drive by media, I wouldn't put too much stock in it.

Add Fox News. Pure Propaganga.

I would agree. I was just pointing out he was linked to some openings. Yeah, I imagine the Satterfield hire will be announced soon unless they've changed their minds.

Dang, that means Freeze is waiting to see if 'Bama or Memphis open up. So, right now, we are in 3rd place, possibly 4th (behind Auburn, but I consider them less likely to have a position open).

 

[Jdw2920]

Memphis might be too risky be the same strip cluba he was near at ole miss lol. Knoxville be a tad further away.

 

[jfite9]

He's been linked to Louisville and Colorado.

The only outlet that has Norvell connected to those jobs is The Commercial Appeal.

 

[Freak]

When I say in line, I simply mean timing with other news coming out

By that definition, I still don't think it's been in line.

 

[WillWill3]

Bama native and fan here. I can assure you, Freeze will not be going to Alabama. Saban will promote from within. The entire point of bringing Dan Enos on board was because of the fact we have went through 4 OCs in the last five years. Enos is our back up, just in-case a scenario like last season (with DaBoll) occurs.
