I agree with this. I think it is telling he pretty much just turned down a program that’s a traditional borderline blue blood that’s closest to his home(not that anything is all that close to South Dakota).
If he’s not leaving for raises at Penn St or Michigan I’m not sure there a job in college football that would lure him. The only way anyone ever thought he would was to be back in the Midwest

Turning down Michigan and Penn State is probably a sign that he's not going to be leaving here other than by the NFL itch.
Michigan isn't even a borderline blue blood. They're arguably the OG blue blood. They're the winningest NCAA football team and 2nd all-time in winning percentage. They have 12 claimed national titles. They're also not hinging that resume on wins from before the USSR existed or while it did exist. They have recent success and have been broadly competitive for decades.
If he's not taking Michigan's calls. I doubt he's going to be interested in anybody else in the college ranks.

Yeah? Who would you bring in to replace him? What kind of roster turnover would you anticipate if he left?
I would give a look at the Georgia DC to start with. Roster turnover? I would imagine there would be some on the offensive side.Would hate to lose some of those guys. But that’s part of it. Get your money and go get some good ones.

Yeah the only reason I say borderline is because they’ve won 1.5 championships since integration.
Nebraska is a blue blood too, but I can’t see them getting back to relevancy. Michigan has a better shot but they haven’t been able to win at the highest level very much.

I’ll be honest, I don’t like it at all. I think he is good, and I think we would have a hard time replacing him; but I don’t think he’s a long term answer. Hope I am wrong though

Norvell tries to play the Transfer Portal like a Temu Lane Kiffin.
DeBoer is building this program in his image from the high school kids and supplementing with portal pieces.
Huge difference.

Ever since he let a 13-0 team quit on a consolation bowl game against the defending national champion, he's below .500 and FSU is only retaining him because they can't afford to fire him.

Well Norvell extension coincided with his downfall. I mean I hope this is different of course but we just laid a total egg and got embarrassed on the field last weekend. Program is on a roller coaster and no one really knows how this thing will turn out in 3-5 years.

Hopefully we go to Norman and become the first team to win a true road playoff game.

Well God forbid you be honest around here.
I think he’s a good coach but would love to see us more physical and meaner on offense which is what he coaches.
