It wasn't very nice of him to mislead some folks who took his leaving pretty hard.

One in particular was adamant about Fuente staying. He told me so at halftime of the Temple game in Philly when I said the team was playing like they already knew before their plane even landed on Friday morning.

Then I ran into the Doubletree shuttle driver last season who picked me up from the Philly airport for the Navy game. He confirmed my suspicions and said he won money betting against us at Temple. He ran that shuttle all night long from bars back to the hotel.

Seriously? Anyone that thought Fuente would stay at Memphis over taking the VT job was delusional anyway. I don't doubt that him going through the interview process and the subsequent emotions of the players had a negative impact on those last few games. But come on - he took us from a dumpster fire and put us on track for where we are today.

You are preaching to the choir. I never thought Fuente would be here after 4 years (whether voluntarily or involuntarily). We are what we are. I hope Coach Norvell gives us a few good years but he's just like any of us looking to better himself and provide for his family.

How do Norvell practices compare to Fuente practices?

Norvell was only rated enough to be P71. Freeze is P29, so that should clue you in on how stupid these eye test exercises are.

The deal is we don't know if Norvell rode the Fuente wave last year...The longer he is the head man will tell a better story.

Recruiting always seems to be a big topic around here, and based upon recruiting Norvell doesn't take a back seat to Fuente or virtually anyone who has coached at Memphis. His offense also seems to be on par or better than Fuente's too. Just hope the defense can come around. If so, Norvell will be a hot property & if he is patient be able to pick his job in years to come.

Oh I agree he is is a better recruiter but again I am in a wait and see mode with Norvell just like Tubby. Norvell inherited a winning culture with good leaders and he was able to hold serve his first year. Now the question is can he groom and build his own leaders and his own program.

If you really want to be an asset to this community, you need to extend an invitation to all the folks you ran off.

This has nothing to do with TigaHigh and you absolutely know that. I mean the post actually sounds more like Oxpatch frat brah talk.
