If Sunseri turns us down tomorrow, it is time to take a look at Narduzzi at Michigan State and offer him whatever it takes, within reason. He currently makes around $300k and if we offered to triple his salary I would be very surprised if he turned us down. From memory (very dangerous) earlier last night MSU finished something like #5 in yards allowed and #7 in scoring defense. I could live with that and think UT could as well.

He is certainly worth entertaining and better than Green. Texas A&M tried to get him for $600k, but we can do better than that.

I don't think it's smart to over pay for the next guy, just because you get turned down by the guy you want.

I'd take it.

I'd also like to know what happened when Dooley talked to Bumpas that made him not an option.

Get ready for Buddy Green. The sad part is when you google Buddy Green he isnt even the first one that comes up. I cant wait to hear Dooley trying to sell this as an upgrade.

Agreed but that may be the only draw we have left, extravagant amounts of cash.

Sadly he's an attorney. He'll spin it a way and some people will believe it.

People. Quit freaking out. CSS hasn't turned UT down. That's not the way it works. He was here yesterday and the process will run it's course but even if he DOES turn us down it would be today or tomorrow after getting back home, with a phone call. Consequently, he also wouldn't have agreed to any kind of deal or extension with CNS yesterday since you wouldn't do that by phone so that couldn't or wouldn't happen until today or tomorrow again, after he got back. IF CSS has accepted an offer from UT the next step would've been what he has done, go home and say in front of him. SO..... we are where we are and there is NO insider trash out there about "out" or "in" yet. Period.

If you look at resumes, Lance Thompson has one of the better ones of people who have been mentioned lately. Also has coached under Saban and Monte Kiffen ( not to mention Wilcox ). He has been a member of two SEC championship coaching staffs and two ACC championship staffs. He knows our system and he knows our players. Thompson also served LSU as the assistant head coach in charge of recruiting and tight ends during their national championship season in 2003. Promoting him would help to stabilize what is currently a ship which appears to be in disarray.

More importantly, IMO, he would fill the DC position which would leave CDD looking for position coaches only, which should be much easier to fill.

Not saying I don't agree that he could be a good choice, but the numbers can be misleading, he was playing against the Big Ten opposition & I don't remember who their NC opponents were.

If the internet had been around when Majors started the rebuild which was small in comparison to what we are going through now, Majors and Fulmer both would not have survived this current fanbase. It wasn't like UT was knocking it out of the park the first 6 years.

1977 - 4-7
1978 - 5-5-1
1979 - 7-5
1980 - 5-6 Fulmer joined staff as OL coach
1981 - 8-4
1982 - 6-5-1

What about the next 6 years?
1983 - 9-3
1984 - 7-4-1
1985 - 9-1-2
1986 - 7-5
1987 - 10-2-1
1988 - 5-6

The point is simple it takes time to rebuild a program that was burnt down to the ground and the current rebuilding is much worse than what Majors had to do. People need to calm down, we live in a world where we want it now. If history shows us anything it is we need to have more patience than 23 months. DD may or may not be the guy we need but he is the guy we have and people really need to evaluate where this program was at in Jan. 2010.

All this calling for his head and blind sheep and Doolander comments will not erase the fact that the rebuild job was not going to be a quick fix.

FWIW - that’s because there is a musician with the same name and a web site with the same name ... hence lots of internet traffic to that site and therefore pulled first when googled

Dude...I totally agree. Problem is, cell phones, microwaves, internet, and 24 hour news coverage has made us the most impatient and childish generation this world has ever known. And, we as a people suck for it. As Louis C.K. said, "everything is great and nobody is happy."

Hubbs said yesterday that Dooley and Narduzzi have spoken and he would likely be a serious candidate if Sunseri turns it down.

I hope Hubbs is correct if what I am hearing is correct.

Why not Mike Stoops? Surely he would rather be the DC at Tennessee than the co-DC at Oklahoma.
