e believe both FSU and Gus Malzahn have explored the possibility of the veteran coach going elsewhere, per multiple sources.

+Malzahn (or his representation) has spoken to various programs with head-coaching vacancies. Arkansas (since filled) was one. UAB another, although it sounds like Malzahn may be further down the line there at the time of writing this.

+Going to be an OC elsewhere has also been discussed. Malzahn has previously, before taking the FSU job, talked about the possibility of retiring. So it’s all on the table right now, it would seem: Return, leave for a variety of jobs, or retire. One source within the program shared that they think Malzahn leaves. We’ll see.

+IF Malzahn indeed left, FSU seems likely to go the route of hiring a coordinator to replace him (rather than Norvell stepping back into the OC role). We’ve heard through agency sources that FSU has talked with different coordinator candidates already to be prepared for a possible departure. One of the names that we’ve heard is Pitt OC Kade Bell, who’s expected to be a commodity among OC-needy teams. Bell is a play-caller, so those are the waters FSU seems to be swimming in.

Now that's the type of INSIGHT you pay for...

Would be an interesting career choice for Bell to board a sinking ship

So there is a long article on ESPN about the Kiffin saga. Apparently in mid-november FSU AD (who worked with Kiffen at USC) was quietly courting him to come take over FSU, in fact Kiffen had his staff vote on stay at ole miss or go to UF/LSU or FSU. No one selected FSU. and the room was divided on stay or go to UF/LSU.

Source apparently said when FSU thought they could get kiffen it would justify the massive buy-out but when it was made clear he wasnt interested they then announced their full support and committment to Norvell.... could you imagine being Norvell finding out your boss was trying to replace you a week before saying we have full confidence in you.

Unless Norvell's a complete idiot I doubt this would come as a suprise to him.
