My FSU buddies swear up and down Norvell had an offer on the table and turned it down

There's no convincing that bunch that they didn't belong in the playoff, wouldn't have won it if they had been put in, Bama paid their way past FSU into the CFP, and Mike Norvell turned down Alabama to stay at FSU.

I think that both Norvell and Lanning did the same thing Jack Del Rio did in the 2006 search. Anybody else remember that guy turning down a job he had never been offered?

The reason I know nobody had an offer on the table but DeBoer is that you couldn’t go through two or more candidates who got offered in 48 hours.

You aren’t offering multiples the job at once and seeing who says yes. That’s a good way to make enemies in the coaching ranks. So you’ve got to interview, offer, wait for the coach to talk to his family about it, receive acceptance/rejection of the offer. And before it becomes Official Official, the agent and school must draft a memorandum of understanding on the broad parameters of the deal. That’s probably well over 24 hours just for one guy.

There's not a lot of hard-core FSU fans, but the ones who are, are annoying as frick. I used to work with one..... God he was insufferable

My SO is a Nole. I have to quietly sit back and just to keep the peace agree with her that their coach is so awesome that all Bama fans, and the people who make the decisions wanted him. It's the price I pay.
