I just think you are selling the man short. You will never have certainty with a G5 coach, but he’s shown that he is solid enough to trust to win. If you want a guarantee of better from those ranks, you won’t get it. All you will end up with is paying less and likely getting a lower ceiling in return.


You may be correct , and I will gladly eat crow if I'm wrong.

I keep hearing it's Norvell and possibly Kiffin. I am amazed it hasn't leaked out.

Kiffin I think would be better than Norvell , but I think Bama would call when Saban retires and he would go.

I heard that and believe it.

I hope I am wrong , but I got a feeling this isn't going to work.

Norvell is an awesome coach. Ole Miss should've hired him 2017. Probably a top 5 offensive mind in football right now.

Take it fwiw, but a few people on Norvell's staff are looking for apartments in Tallahassee.

I am also starting to believe Kiffin will go to OM not Arkansas.

Hopefully they won't.

If he's successful they will look like a bigger fool than I will.

Because FSU doesn't want to take another chance right now. They became an elite program, but another bad hire would be kind of devastating right now.

I said in another thread on this board that I wouldn't be surprised if Kiffin ended up at Alabama after Saban retires, which is different than I expect it, which I don't.

Kiffin needs to change his lifestyle. Programs like Alabama or even FSU won't take a chance on a wild and crazy playboy type. He needs to settle the frick down and prove that he's focus in on being a great football coach, and not just an entertaining guy that is also a good coach.

If he does this, he could become a very rich man.

I think Kiffin is the more exciting hire, but there’s still some risk there. The guy can’t help but troll and be his own worst enemy at times.

Norvell has the old skeleton in the closet rumors, but they haven’t derailed his career to this point. Despite that, he is definitely the more stable choice of the two at this point, but he isn’t as exciting.

Why norvell got rid of one of the best dc in leavitt is besides me.

He needs to throw the bank at jajuan snieder and keep Odell
