2 main traits for new coach...

[philduckworth]

1. Offensive minded
2. Loves to recruit

Easiest hire ever: Mike Norvell, head coach of the 10-1 Memphis Tigers.

I’m not sold on Norvell yet. His body of work isn’t big enough. All he’s done is not wreck the car that Fuente left for him. We may have to take him though. There isn’t **** out there with this 17’n coaching sweepstakes going on.

Agree with this except for Norvell.. but he may be the best available and we don’t have long to decide.

Well, we'll have to compete with OM. ** They want him too.

There is a third trait and I think it is the most important - 1. A coach that WANTS to be at MSU!! Obviously Mullet did not.

He already told Ole Miss to fck off. That's why I like him even more.

Everybody's pissed right now but personal integrity is #1 aside from x's and o's. Dan has it and you know it

He's got 2 years as head coach. That's a lot bigger body of work than Mullen had or Pruitt has.

Who are you talking too? I didn't say anything about Mullen and neither did anyone in this thread. If you are talking about Norvell, be very careful trying to be the morality police.

I was just mentioning that personal integrity should be #1 before and along with other traits. I wasn't taking exception to any posts or potential candidates. Sorry if it was misinterpreted.

I agree that his body of work isn't big enough. His recruiting class is also ranked 77, right between Navy and Appalachian State. I know its Memphis, but if there were signs he was a big recruiter I would be more keen on him.

Seriously? Damn, it’s Starkville Mississippi. Unless the coaching candidate was raised in Mississippi or has ties to Mississippi, then it’s about the money. Always will be. We can NEVER forget that. Dan proved that twice. Once when he came to Starkville and again when he returned to Gainesville (where his wife said they’d never return to)

Yeah, Dan has personal integrity cause he NEVER told the players or implied to them that he was gonna be here next year.

If Norvell is hirable, then he is probably my first choice of people we might actually get.
