Which of our coaches does FSU


Nov 3, 2019, 3:43 PM

Come after?

Scott makes too much sense


Nov 3, 2019, 3:45 PM

Would be a perfect fit imo.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Leavitt & Briles already there


Nov 3, 2019, 3:47 PM

They did not fire him without

Knowing the likely replacement already.

You’re giving those guys too much credit.

Er...maybe.

I think the big-money donors just lost their minds and forced Thrasher's hand. I think the frustration was growing simply because the team simply wasn't making any kind of progress.

They may have also jumped the gun, though. Because FSU badly needed QB's and OL, and they had a pretty nice-looking 4-star QB in Jeffrey Sims committed that actually looks like he fits the Briles offensive system - he's a tall, live-armed pro-style guy with more-than-adequate mobility who can manipulate the pocket and drop dimes all over the field, which is what you want for that system. Taggart also had 5 OL committed and they are big - all of them are 6'5" or taller, and they all look fair-to-decent...again, FSU badly needs those guys.

That looked like the solutions to what ailed the 'Noles; if that recruiting class falls apart they're back to Square 1...again.

They definitely need to move fast...but the guy they want probably won't be available for at least a month, unless they pulled a miracle and are getting Urban Meyer. Which I very strongly doubt.

They may be recruiting for need but blue chips they aren’t getting. FSU has 7 or 8 guys in the ESPN 300 starting at 83,87, and farther down the list. We will get that many in the top 20 of the ESPN 300. QB’s and OL take time to develop unless they are 5 star talent. Nobody can coach to win with that great a difference in blue chip talent. Willie was failing at coaching, culture and recruiting even though when they hired him that is what they thought he would be great at.

His teams were undisciplined and unwatchable. He lost a three year grace period in 21 games. He had powerful people wanting him to succeed only to lose their trust with lack of on field success and lack of big time recruiting. It will not be easy for the next guy up.

Elliot. he has the same confused, oblivious personality type as Taggart

Well done... At least you dont even try to hide that you clearly live under a bridge.

By What Criteria does Coach Elliott have the confuse?

By what criteria? When you say "personality type" exactly what do you mean? Taggert and Coach Elliott could not be more different.

I think you are putting them both in a box for very different reasons and it's a bad look!

I hope Bobby Bowden’s visit to Clemson didn’t have a hidden agenda... to try to hire one of our coaches!

I was thinking the same thing. Coach Bowden was at Clemson one day and they fire Super Willie the next day??????!!

no doubt BB loves his FSU memories 'cept one; them running him off.

I would think he wouldn't put out too much effort to help them mine another program. btw, terry and tommy are both available aren't they?

I’d like to think Bobby has his son’s cell number and would just call him if he needed to convey some secret information.

Oops. My bad. Was thinking of the wrong father - son relationship. But you can take me to task for it anyway.

None


Nov 3, 2019, 7:48 PM

They’ll hire someone with HC experience. Would be worried about Scott or Elliott leaving for a smaller job (like GT with Elliott last year) but FSU is a big enough program that I have a hard time seeing them hire a first time HC.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

If they hire one of our guys then their search


Nov 3, 2019, 8:12 PM

was likely a disaster with numerous other candidates turning them down.

I have no doubt they will want somebody with HC experience.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

They should GO AFTER TOMMY BOWDEN !!!!!


Nov 3, 2019, 8:13 PM

or maybe Jack Hines .....
