Florida State: Cautionary Tale

[QuarterSawnVol]

Wasn't he a 5-star. That can become a curse for some guys to live up to.

Fair point! Or it can be completely fabricated like Khalil McKenzie

I would surmise that FSU has punted on the football season and is ready to take out their frustrations on everybody on the hardwood.

lol they’re not gonna be even top 5 in basketball in the ACC.

 

[OldVolMan]

There will be a coaching change at both Florida and Florida State. Looking at both schedules I don’t see how FL can win over 5 games, and Florida State over 3.

It would cause several coaching changes because I think they will be both get in a bidding war for Kiffin. And, it is about time for Kiffin to change again.

No, nothing alike! Ole Miss. They took in 23 transfers this past offseason and had the #2 transfer ranked class.

On the other hand we took in 8 transfers and were ranked 36th. This is in line with previous Heupel transfer classes. We usually take 8-10 guys and end up in the 30th+ rankings.

We had better try to find a running back, off. Tackle, and experienced qb. Probably needs on def .line.

I think Norvel could be gone on Monday. Something is definitely missing, chemistry is just not there.

His contract buyout is insane. He will be there for another two years at least.

 

[VOLLeeann]

Occams razor: the simplest explanation is usually the correct one.

Yeah, don't hire coaches from Memphis State.

 

[jackaro]

I believe their QB play early in the season tanked them. DJ U sucked at Clemson, sucked at WS and really sucked at FSU.

Never really understood how guys like that keep getting chances to start.

Maybe it is the 'I can fix him' syndrome from coaches.

That would certainly put some very talented players in the portal…the new age of college football. At least in the pros you don’t lose half your roster when you can the coach.

UGA broke fsu. I am destroyed

He was, and he looked like a stone cold killer as a freshman in 2 starts in relief of Lawrence:


And then he got sacked 8 times and generally beat to hell by that Georgia defense that had 4 first round draft picks on the DL the first game the next year. The word "broke" gets tossed around alot but they actually did break him. He hasn't done anything since.

I hope this isn’t the path Nico is on

I am still scratching my head at Mike Norvell being a candidate for the Bama job

I say give him the gig

 

[SNAFU]

The cautionary tale is if you’re going to take a conference to court and try to get out of a contract because you think you’re one of the flagship programs, better damn well back it up. This goes for Clemson also. Both would be middle tier in football at best in the SEC.

 

[OH-Vol]

He is atrocious, has built nothing in terms of a sustainable program. What is his record without Travis at QB?

 

[hardyemt_p]

Apparently 17 transfers will ruin your program in less than 7 months!

1-6 after what should have been a top 4 finish last year. Mind blowing stuff.

Let’s remember that come transfer portal season… don’t be Clemson, but dang don’t be Florida State.

Take the needs that meet our culture. No exceptions!
