Mike Norvell — Memphis Head Coach

Mike Norvell has proved he has a great offensive mind.

And I think he’s also proved that he’s not just riding Justin Fuente’s coat tails at Memphis.

However, it doesn’t appear that Norvell is still on Tennessee’s short list. According to some reports, Norvell didn’t fare well in the Vols’ vetting process.

I long considered Norvell the “safety” coach for the Vols. But that apparently won’t be the case anymore.
