Yeah, he's working on a contract extension with Arkansas / Ole Miss / Florida and Tennessee. He won't be in Memphis next season unless he's there to recruit a player.

When you're school is working on an extension like Memphis, your coach is in danger of leaving.

Some chatter about him failing the UAA background check. Apparently, UTjr and Ole Miss have also backed away from him for something in his background.

wow. so now it's down to Frost, Taggart, or Strong.

which means it's down to Frost or 10-20 years of total irrelevance.

I'm beginning to think Scott Starkville is gonna blow it on both Frost and Norvell and the outcome you predict is EXACTLY what is going to happen.

UF football is going to be utterly irrelevant for a generation.
If we hire Strong I guarantee pumpers will be out in force telling us to step back from the disappointment from whiffing on Kelly, Frost and Norvell and see why this was actually the right hire all along, and we are lucky the way it worked out. How much he has learned since his utter failure at Texas (due to racist boosters of course) and of course how he fits the UF culture.

Was it on the interwebs? If so, it must be legit.

Of course. Everything posted on any of board has a strong likelihood of being BS. Just throwing out what I’ve seen elsewhere. I have no clue if it’s true, but could explain him potentially signing an extension with Memphis.

At this point, as long as she was over 18, it was less than 10 grams, the kid isn’t salt-n-pepper with a goatee, his accountant has an explanation, and/or the video is inconclusive, I’m not sure we’re in position to nitpick.

Yo GatorCity, the dislike button is for cowards, at least be consistent brother, there is plenty dissing of your boyfriend Stricklin around here, mine was a bad attempt at dry humor versus knowledge of dereliction of duties. But, we lost to the 'holes today, I forgive the apparent bad mood :fistbump:

I think you mean RocketCity, that's cool. Calling me a coward can get you another dislike. Dislike means that I do not agree with your post. Regarding your post, my bad the humor was lost on me. I'll be more than happy to give you the benefit of the doubt.

What in the world is in his background check that is scaring teams away? Sounds like a smoke screen.

We're good my friend, as you can see, maybe a little bit too much Crown this afternoon "Rocket". True, I always felt the buttons should read 'agree' 'disagree'... whenever I see dislike, I get all indignant :lol3:. Anyway, I was piling on the Administration after enduring another head scalping today. I'v put my pitchfork down. Be safe Gator.

Who do we go after when we whiff on Frost?

Norvell, if we miss on him or if whatever the vetting issue is turns out to be a deal breaker then I think we end up with Strong since he seems to be the only one on the list that actually wants the job.
