Y’all really want Ken Dorsey promoted? Without a new head coach whoever replaces Shula will be the same if not worse. 

I really think Ron would try to bring Norv Turner in.  He tried when Chud left, but Norv went with Chud.  Maybe he comes here now.

Don't forget... Ron has another familiar face on the staff from his days in Chicago and that is Norv's brother, Ron. So if he would promote anyone already on staff then I would expect Ron to be it

Regardless of the veracity of the Ole Miss rumor, I have no trouble believing that Shula wants to be a head coach again. That's the most believable part of the story.

Expect his agent to start throwing his name at teams with available jobs.

(like maybe, Michigan)

See my last reply. Yeah, the SEC is generally the best football conference but that doesn't mean the middle of the road teams can pick and choose. There are plenty of non-SEC programs that are better jobs than a mid-teir SEC program. 

To my point... Tennessee, which is a historically stronger program than Ole Miss, is about to hire NC State's Dave Doeren who is 33-30 overall at NC State and 15-25 in the ACC after being turned down by damn near everyone else in America with football coaching on their resume.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
