Jimmy Sexton is great at his job but Norvell didn't get bumped to $10 million a year unless Bama was legit trying to hire him. You really think the admin would rather have the guy from the west coast who's never recruited the south over a guy who's shown that he can recruit elite HS and portal players all over the south including the deep ties he's made in Florida? Come on dude

Norvell had just taken a 60 point shellacking in his bowl game, I don't believe he was ever seriously considered. We will never know whether he was offered or not, but it seems strange that Byrne would be offering the job to Norvell,from a hotel room in Seattle while meeting with Deboer. If he had wanted Norvell, why not go after him, instead of flying to Seattle

bullshite.
You think it was just a coincidence that every Coach mentioned during the hiring process was a Sexton client, and the one we hired just happened to be silent & the only one without constant rumors, and he just happened to be announced after everyone else got a pay raise?
Please. DeBoer was the only choice. Sexton told Byrne to wait until he got new contracts for his top clients, and that’s what he did.
Bama fans and boosters would have rioted if Norvell was the guy. Nobody wanted him.

All he had to do was hint Bama might be interested and that X raise would keep him in Tallahassee and the admins would have hurt themselves trying to ink a raise and extension for him.
We have WAY too much experience with him and that tactic.
