re: Skeletons in Mike Norvell's closet??? Keeping him from getting an offer

That would make sense, just heard that it was Ole Miss because it first got posted on one of there boards. It’s pretty pathetic to be honest to make up shite, luckily Arkansas isn’t dumb enough to fall for it. I’m about 95% sure he’s going to be the next hog coach. Hearing a lot of things that it’s either the hogs or stay at Memphis and get a raise and contract extension. He’s said no to everyone that has reached out except Arkansas.

That’s what I was told. Norvell pissed one of the two schools off due to letting it be known he wouldn’t take either job if offered.

Either Tenn or OM was pissed because they had not even offered yet. This might have been their way to tell him to frick off.

You think Memphis is serving up hookers and blow on recruiting trips?

Re-read my comment...what did the university OFFICIALLY fire Freeze for? If you don’t know then post less.

Calm down. We all know the “official” story. The way it was buried so quickly by all involved, Freeze included, makes the imagination wander a bit. If you are saying Norvell is guilty of paying for sex, then fine. I think there are people who question why Freeze was really fired.

Even if Norvell was caught having fun with a few escorts on the road, without the barrel of the NCAA staring down at you like at OM, a lot of programs would figure out how to dance around it. Plenty of people in public positions have rebounded from making that and other similar little mistakes.

Per the MSU 247 message board, Memphis HC Mike Norvell will NOT be a candidate for the MSU job and also likely not for the Arkansas job either due to some things that were found in his background during a vetting process. Nobody knows for sure what it is but it has to be something pretty major for him to lose the chance to get a head job in the SEC. Anybody in the know have an idea of what the issue might be with Norvell? Because he is one heck of a HC in my book.

Well Didn't MIZZOU get Barry Odom from Memphis as a DC for one year. He then he became the HC after Pinkel resigns due to his health. I think Memphis is a good stepping stone!

It’s not anything man. It was all made up because a couple teams got mad he was saying no and the only team he would talk to is Arkansas. He has no skeletons, he’s just a hellava coach who’s too good for Ole Miss or Tennessee.
