i wanted us to consider norvell during our last search. Whatever issues he had, clearly they arent negatively effecting him now. And honestly, i dont really buy that internet BS anyway. We created that garbage to excuse away the fact that we passed on yet another up and comer running a solid downfield passing offense to make us feel better about hiring the hunchback of Notre Dame offense.
There are 2 things that get Danny Boy out of Gainesville:
1: The NFL comes calling. Not likely. Very few college coaches make a successful jump
from head college coach to NFL head coach. His strongest suit is a perception that he is
some type of a qb whisperer in the same mode as Charlie Weis. Not buying it and I
doubt those fat cat mega-buck owners of NFL teams are either.
2: Danny gets in trouble with Gator Nation. Either his winning record goes by the boards
ala Muschamp, or with the University like Butters. Being in the weak SECe, coupled with the
out of conference cupcakes he should at least record 8 to 10 wins annually. Plus Danny
isn't a Butters. He knows the ropes of big time college politics. Look for Danny Boy to be
roaming the sidelines in Gainesville for some time to come.
