So Manny just loss the game where he would not be out coached. One less win next year.**** good coach. Easily ten xs the coach our guy is.
But I ain't scared.
His first recruitment job will be to keep Haggins.
I went back and read that whole thread, feeling the same way you did. Looks like it was something concocted by a UF fan, who decided to tag all his Big3 buddies.Ive always respected FSU as a team because they've always been a great rival but if something like this is even remotely true i wish nothing but the worst for that program.
It never felt right the way Willie was fired being only 1.5 years into his tenure. No big-time coach has ever been fired that fast unless there was some kinda improprieties & bad behavior taking place behind the scenes. FSU had been a mess and everyone knew it would take years to rebuild that team after Jimbo. Taggart had proven coaching history that he could do exactly that with broken football programs.
Then after finding out about the $20M+ in buyouts to get rid of him i thought "**** something's just not right here... it's just not THAT serious to win a few more football games".
As a successful Afr-Am man myself that's experienced the overt and underhanded racism first-hand, we all have a 6th-Sense for these things. After no reports of scandal came out after his firing i swear to God my Spidey Sense was tingling that this smells like some closet racist bs going on. Now it's being exposed.
Give me a ******* break
All our fans are saying he isn't that great? Must mean they will be knocking off clemson in the next couple of years.
Better than anything we could get now.
I think this is a good hire for FSU, but not a homerun hire. I guess we'll just have to see.
Norvell was w Pitt & ASU prior to becoming head coach at Memphis.
He was a **** good OC and QBC at ASU, which is y he was considered for a head coaching job.
Make no mistake about this, @Liberty City El wanted Norvell for a reason. Might not happen now, but unless we make a power move, this chit will bite us. This is not a Willie T situation at all. Willie has sucked his entire coaching career. The only reason he got buzz was b/c of him going 10-2 one time at USF. He cashed in and made a nice chunk of change.
This. Not a slam dunk but it could work out for them. They're probably ****ed about it. Dropping 18 mil you'd expect an Urban Meyer-esque hire.
Why do ppl say that? Fuentes has been at vt for 4 years this is all NorvellLOL! Memphis toughest game was against Temple and they lost. Game was on the road. Cincy was at home.
BTW, all the Seniors and Juniors were Fuente’s boyz recruits. This corch just stepped in and won against a bunch of nobodies.
6 years!?!
I dont care how great hes been at a G5 school, that's a crazy amount of trust in someone who hasnt been at a big time program yet. I remember thinking, if Golden could breathe live into a program like Temple he'll dominate here.... didnt turn out that way at all! This is an all or nothing move for them.
Hes still better than Diaz tho!
Lol;
Alfred James Golden went 27-34 at Temple and took a step back the yr we hired him. Golden was a terrible hire from the jump.
Norvell went 38-15 at Memphis, including just taking them to a NY6 bowl this season.
He may be a flame playing w the big boys yr after yr, but he & Golden, coaching wise, have been similar like oil and water. Lol
