Fortunately he's proven nothing here yet, making him not an attractive candidate at the moment.

Personally I'd like to see Leach get it. Always curious how he'd perform in a fishbowl-type job.

I agree about Pruitt still having to prove himself, but with the exception of Meyer, I would take Pruitt over all the names listed as "potential candidates." No way in Hell would I take Kentucky Stoops over Pruitt!

lol - I'm not sure what reason #1 would have to do with it at this point.

I think the expectations would be, after somewhat of a rebuilding period, to compete with Clemson and Florida and be better than Miami. Just a couple years ago, they were doing that. Hell, they were much better than all of those programs just 5 or so years ago. People are such prisoners of the moment - they think whatever condition exists at the moment is destined to persist forever. It's a favorite pastime of CFB fans to point to a historically good program who is down and tell them that they'll never be good again.

A beef Jimbo had with the admin/boosters while he was there was that they wouldn't open their pockets enough to have elite facilities, recruiting budget, etc., but I think he was able to convince them to do so once he won that national title. Not sure if that is an issue anymore or not.

When you get down to it, there really is no reason why they can't be really good again, and be good again pretty quickly. It's an easier rebuild than a place like Tennessee.

Nope, still an issue at FSU. They wouldn’t give him the money for facilities while he was there. Ultimately, that’s he left. Probably why they weren’t any good his last year as he was trying to leave. At A&M, he gets whatever he wants $$-wise.

Even if the rumors are false, everybody believes them and they can't go back (not that I think FSU would offer him). My buddy works high up in admin in the business dept. at FSU and he was the one that told me about the Pruitt rumors like they are fact.

The rumor was he was banging someone in the athletic department, right? It was certainly odd he was there for a year as DC, won a national title, then made a lateral move.

It was his last couple of years. Not just the last year. He kept on lobbying for more money for upgraded facilities, and they wouldn’t give it to him. It’s commonly known that he was trying to get out of there for the last two years he was there. A&M hiring him was the worst kept secret out there.

They were talking on the radio down here in Florida that Deion Sanders would take the job if offered. They were saying he would do wonders for recruiting.

Willie Taggart don't have the track record to deserve that job in the first place. Very very mediocre record.

I just think that the FSU job has dropped a bunch as a desirable head coaching job. Right now, I think of it on the level of a college with dollars and a short trigger when it comes to success.

Also, recruiting has changed, kids don't stay home anymore. Florida is the farm team for colleges all over the country now. Times have changed...

Ugh. No.
I bet he would take it though.

I was saying the facilities weren't suddenly why they were bad. Him looking around made them bad. Without his full effort on his job no coach is going to be successful.

Deion Sanders?

FSU would be better off hiring Chris Weinke.
At least he is a FSU guy with coaching experience. ...not head coaching experience, but experience.

Or...they could just hire their former offensive coordinator Randy Sanders, who does have head coaching experience.

I rate the chances of any of those three at zero. I like all three but they aren't what FSU needs right now.
