FSU hires Cornrow Norvell from bottom feeder Memphis

[AvgJoe]

Norvell would kill it there. He just needs a DC that can put up a decent D...
If the SOW had their act together they’d make it happen now. He’s got a minimal buyout, can put up points, and probably recruit the state.... but deon is pure and epic failure. I pray for it

A serious question on the alleged possibility of Deion being the next coach.

Is it even possible for him to be a college head coach?
Isn't a college degree a requirement for a job at the college level?
And if so, how could he have ever received a diploma given that he was an academic freshman when he left FSU after his junior year?

Several years back, NC State hired Sydney Lowe as the basketball coach only to discover that he needed 3-4 classes to finish so he "miraculously" was able to finish in the summer prior to the school year. Ironically, he was fired a few years later.

Maybe they can beg Jimbo to come back.
If not.... it's
Prime Time, Prime Time, Prime Time.

Not sure if this was posted:

Deion Sanders is not a candidate for FSU football coaching job

 

[gatordad3]

Until Deion publicly says he's not a candidate and/or says he's not interested in the head coaching vacancy at F$U, this story is still growing legs. Well, at least I do want it to happen.

Kiffin is officially the “Toby” of the college football “Office”. You can almost hear him sort of mumbling in a self-doubting low tone how he’s interested in the “XYZ job”, only to be completely dismissed and ridiculed. It’s embarrassing at this point.

Remember when Kiffin had that incredibly successful, breakthrough moment of only losing to UF by 10? Then he destroyed the It program as predicted by crazy Al Davis? Good times.

I would dearly love him at f$u.

* I have ceased capitalizing f$u as they have lost the capacity to capitalize on anything.

Deion will play this up for publicity as long as he can. He knows damn well he isn't a candidate, but is loving the attention. You really think that weasel would EVER say publicly he's not a candidate or isn't interested?

you've got me stumped on this one.

Totally based on zero information- my bet is that Sanders laid down a chunk of the buyout money and then believed that entitled him to be a big part of the coaching selection decision. The rumors of him reaching out for a coaching staff could be true, just maybe not “his” coaching staff.

A good a theory as any. This is of course the danger in getting a bunch of alums to pony up big money. They are going to believe it gives them a say in who the replacement should be (with the added benefit of not having to take responsibility if their choice fails). I think they would have all been for Bob Stoops (and perhaps he was dangled in front of them to get the $), but if he really isn’t interested they’ll end up with a compromise choice which probably won’t end well.

First off, I doubt Deion is half as wealthy as people think. Secondly, I think he's too much of a cheap ass to give one cent even if he had the money.

As long a perpetual idiots like Sanders are involved the better off for us. This could really turn into a circus far worse than UTootheless.

So I guess the kid with the lemonade stand gets first shot at picking a coach. We may be screwed.

I was hoping for some feedback on my theory but no luck so far.

I am suggesting that Deion was a candidate for 5-10 minutes until that aggravating little thing called qualifications came to the surface and everyone realized that Deion cannot be a coach because he has not graduated from college.

By quietly stating that he is not a candidate, FSU is able to save Deion from the obvious embarrassment of having to admit that he was never even a college student back in the day.

Can anyone out there with knowledge confirm that a degree is required?

IDK, but if it isn't, it definitely SHOULD be. Too bad bspn won't look into it.
