FSU HC Mike Norvell is live with host Gene Deckerhoff. Live quotes coming.

On the Syracuse win: “For our team to have another game come down to the last play. Have all three phases execute and be able to win the game. It was wonderful to see the smiles in the locker room from our players.”

On the tight battle with Cuse: There were a lot of moments where I thought we were close to breaking it open…but liked the response from players in the one-score games. Be able to finish the game the way it happened will build on confidence.

On QB Jordan Travis: Played really well in all phases. Was smart with the football and efficient in the passing game. Wanted to take what the defense gave them, Jordan did a good job of managing that. Rushed over 100 yards. Really moved around well on Wednesday in practice.

On Travis as a runner: Extremely elusive in what he does. Some are designed but a lot are created by him. His feet can make him right, did a lot on Saturday night.

On blocking downfield: Really pleased to see. Receivers downfield never stopped on the play. Created the extra yardage that was necessary to win the game.

7:20 p.m.

Defensively, just need to continue to work on the details, open-field tackling.

Out of commercial break: “Once again I wanted to say thank you to all the fans who came out on Saturday. Truly a special moment. Excited to get the win and really looking forward to the future.”

On Camm McDonald: Battled through this last week as well. Was very productive as a pass receiver. Had some plays he’d like back. Continuing to improve. They ask a lot of the tight ends. Great to see him have that type of production on Saturday.

On Treshaun Ward: Dynamic playmaker running the ball and catching. Very elusive and tough to tackle. Is a self-made man. Excited for what the future holds

More on RBs: Takes a committee for the running backs. Investment of what they do without the ball in his hands, Treshaun had a couple great blitz pickups. Those guys are truly willing to do the dirty work.

Offensively, still trying to establish an identity. Happy to run the football. Offense is a work in progress. Happy to get Maurice Smith back. Excited for what the rest of the season is going to look like for the offense.

Played a lot of combos on offensive line already, which is part of the game. Guys are playing at less than 100 percent, but they care so much. They are getting better.

UNC plays really well at home, explosive football team, really well coached, explosive players at all positions. Guys are excited about the opportunity.

7:35 p.m.

Things that equate to winning football: Third and fourth down situations, converted 8 of 17. 6 of 6 in the red zone with 4 TD drives. Played more disciplined, less penalties That needs to continue.

Key to goal line stand was good pad level. DeLoach had low pads, and “stoned him.” Big play in the game. Loved seeing the emotional reaction and guys gave everything they had. Those are moments to build upon.

Need to continue to improve on turnover margin. Need to create more takeaways and own the ball on offense and special teams. Will be big part of game Saturday versus UNC.

UNC on film, an extremely explosive offense. Very experienced offensive line. Defensively, multiple fronts. Well-coached and talented athletes. Will take a great effort. Going on the road, control things you can control.

UNC defense is coming off of their best games, really shut down Duke. Guys that can really run at corner with great length. Linebackers can go sideline to sideline.

K Ryan Fitzgerald is the player guest tonight and special teams coord. and DEs coach John Papuchis is the coach guest tonight. Quotes coming up.

On K Fitzgerald: “So proud of him in that game and the entire season. He comes every day with the right approach."

That is all from Norvell.

---------------------------------------

Next up is K Ryan Fitzgerald.

On game-winning attempts: Just try to treat it like any other kick, mentally and physically. We preach consistency in the life of a kicker, just try to keep it the same.

After the game, Graham Gano texted him and he’s spoken with him a few times. He also trained with Roberto and Ricky Aguayo in Alabama.

On his Georgia high school records: said he had a great coach and played on a great team that scored a lot of points that put him in position to kick a lot of field goals.

Friday night Georgia high school football environment, said there’s nothing like it.

On Syracuse Win: “We’ve been busting our butts since January since Tour of duty, finally getting that first win is awesome and something we can keep building on.”

Asked if he has some more game-winners in him, he said "yes sir, absolutely."

---------------------------------------

Next up special teams coordinator and DEs coach John Papuchis.

On Cuse: "That was a fitting way for our first win to finish. There was a never a question in my mind whether he was going to make that kick or not. His composure on the sideline, he did a great job."

In return game, a huge amount of practice time is spent on coaching blocking in return game.

Said it’s been a revolving door at the two returner spots so far this year but: “I feel good about us being able to hone in on one returner the rest of this year.”

On Jermaine Johnson, Keir Thomas: “Been super blessed and fortunate to have both of these guys this year. Both coming in as seniors, leadership and approach to every day work.”

On Jermaine Johnson: “Jermaine has a great, instinctive approach. He’s able to set up a lineman and execute his plan and if his plan isn’t going the way he intended it, that’s when his instincts kick in.”

That's all from tonight, thanks for reading everyone, check back in the morning for Tuesday practice updates!

Not sure how that new Redshirts can play 4 games rule works…

A condensed game popped up on YouTube today and I took a few min and watched. 77-6 seems absolutely unattainable against ANY one for us as of late.

Edit: seems inconceivable to lose to UMass but beat UM and UF

finish the year 4-8 with wins against UM and UF and UMass, or finish the year 5-7 with losses against UM, UF and Clemson?

Not saying losing Briggs is a gigantic impact, but it definitely seems that we have been slammed with injuries to key players, which just continues to complicate our rebuilding efforts.

Landon Dickerson was injured his entire time here and transferred before ever contributing to us. Then goes on to become one of the best OLmen in college football.

I can't even count the other OL injuries over the last few years.

Marvin Wilson got injured and then checked out last season.

Francois injured first game of the season in 2017, out the rest of the year, stunted his development and he never became the QB I think he could have been here, especially with a lot of other chaos around the program.

Going way back, but losing Derwin for a season hampered his ability to be a major impact player here.

Travis Jordan and Milton are dealing with various types of injuries.

Now even Travis Hunter is injured before he ever suits up for FSU -- though hopefully doesn't look too bad.

That crap stuck in my craw and stung a little bit. It bothered me then and still do today. This is the case although I know our performance and stats indicate the true state of our program.

I was pissed about the little dig at FSU, and I still am. But I had to dig to find out why that video bothered me so much. Well, it did for the following reasons. Me and all the rest of you SHOULD take offense to that crap.

First, FSU is a program that has 4 NFL Hall of Famers (all recent in history), with at least two more in the future. We have 3 NFL Walter Patten Men of the Year. We have a NCAA Football award named after one of our players. Three national championships to our name, one within the last 10 years. We have a boat load of All Americans and bus full of 1st round draft picks. None of those other programs mentioned, and many not mentioned can claim that. Whatever loser from whatever loser school decided to produce that clown video can kiss FSU's legacy hind parts.

That video goes to show the fight we have with all other loser programs (I mean all of them). That includes in one hit wonders that are living off of there conference affiliation and a very distant past. Despite our current situation, many of the programs in the NCAA Power 5 is even worthy to collect tickets at our gates on game day.

Let's get this thing back right, and GO NOLES!

That offensive game plan is going to get destroyed if we try it against any other team with a pulse.

I was holding my breath on every bubble screen and swing pass that Travis floated out there. I knew it was only a matter of time before one got snatched.

bottom line is if we don’t stretch the field, better teams are going to shut our running game down. Takeaway #8s big run and #13s scrambles and this offensive output was terrible. If we can’t get other teams to respect our ability to throw intermediate and deep pass then we will put up goose eggs against quite a few teams left on our schedule.

I feel like this was the safe play game plan for a photo op win to keep the natives from burning down the village. Control the game clock and don’t turn the ball over. Unfortunately it allowed a team once again to hang around.

It almost bit norvell right in his ass.

This feels like the greatest ROI opportunity in the recent history of our program. Past mistakes aside, we are seeing potential that UF and Miami *might* hire new HCs, and fire the ones they have. Clemson is reeling. LSU might move on from Ogeron - they likely have cause.

Why would we not invest in Norvell, and hire him an elite staff? It's certainly less than another buyout, crap fan attendance, etc.

If we are going to sit by and do nothing, then give Hamilton the budget to do a massive renovation to the Tuck, massive recruiting budget, and have the boosters go all in on the NIL game for him. Because we might as well become a full time basketball school. No need for a facility for football.

I just don't get it. Sure, let's continue to operate on a weak budget for staff and S&C, and just let our bright young prospect fail. Hire another coach on the cheap, rinse and repeat.

Makes ZERO sense. We didn't get a Renaissance the first time. We got budget. So go blow out the assistant staff, get him Dabo type support, and make this work. He's a good enough recruiter and organizer, to make this thing happen. Instead FSU hired him an FCS staff, and said make it work, because we have a bean counter who understands nothing about football, and couldn't see the forest through the trees that fans, support, etc will just die if we don't turn it. GO MAKE NORVELL SUCCESSFUL

UF is 3-5 their last 8 games.

We are 2-4 our last six.

If we go 1-1 we'll match that dubious record.

Are we as bad as UF is their last 8?

I know last year he doesn’t take any steps back.. they simply hike to a shotgun and he turns to either side to make his reads without drop back at all..

We were able to get up the field well with our line last year which got in his passing lanes causing him to go second level which then we were able to get to him a lot in that time.

They also dropped a ton of balls.. I know we give up big plays but I think we play zone we are screwed here… we gotta play press and we have got to get to him..

anyone know if they still don’t have him drop back at all or has he started to show more looks? I imagine after what VT did to them to start the year they changed it up as a QB who snaps and stands still doesn’t make a whole lotta since

Dang it, I hate that he's out for the season! I think Briggs' light really came on this year and I hope he heals fully and quickly!

Jordan Travis couldn’t play last week.
He couldn’t practice earlier in the week.
And yet, when it mattered most on Saturday, the banged-up QB made the plays to help win the first game of the season.

Clark: Travis helps lead FSU to first win of 2021

Here's my 3-2-1 column following FSU's win over Syracuse.

Warchant 3-2-1: True toughness emerges as FSU picks up first victory

I forgot about his transfer here. This guy looked like a football player out there. Honestly reminded me a lot of Terrence Brooks. I hope he continues to get snaps, surprised it took him this long to break into the rotation based on what I saw last week

Mike Norvell is here.
Login to view embedded media "Really proud of our guys. got a chance to go watch the film, it was a hard-fought battle, a lot of back and forth, momentum swings. Some really positive moments and some mistakes that made it a lot more interesting than it needed to be.

"We needed to see a game ending on the last play where we were able to find success. .... It took all three phases. Defense getting a stop in the two-minute late. The offense having a minute to get us down the field," and then the kicking game winning it. "Something we need as a football team. Not been a lot of moments where we've been able to finish a game in that fashion. .... It's something we have to be able to build upon."

Says they were 8 of 17 on cash down situations, 2 of 15 defensively. We were able to get them some stops, hold them to field goals, 6 of 6 in the red zone. Only 3 penalties. You see steps and growth from our football team, playing better football.

"The one muffed punt, we had the interception, which is something we have to clean up."

Says they gave up too many yards in return game and that the return game HAS to get better. They spend too much time on it in practice for it to look like that.

"A new and great challenge approaches here on Saturday. North Carolina is a very explosive football team. How they play, especially how they play at home, is a team that has played extremely well the last couple of years. ... Defensively, a unit that is going to attack."

Dennis Briggs is out for the rest of the season, Norvell said.
"The growth that I got to see from him ... the work that he put in ... he's not going to be able to continue onwards with the rest of this year." Says they were extremely thin on the DL, Malcolm Ray was out, and extremely thin at secondary, and hoping to get some guys back.

"Winning a college football team is hard. We've had three guys that have come down to the last play, four that have come down to the last drive. The margins are very small. ... We want to play our best game. As a football team we're extremely excited to get to win. But if you go back and watch it you see there are a lot of areas for improvement."

Says they allowed 100 yards of offense on three non-designed QB scrambles.

"I thought last night's practice, you saw guys that played pretty well, body is sore, they came out with a true intent to get better. That's what we have to do, that's what we have to continue to do to get better."

On Travis: "That was a defense that was attacking from a lot of different places. That was just a perimeter run game for us. ... There are still some things in our perimeter blocking that we have to get better at ... I thought we had a couple of opportunities to push the ball down the field that" they have to capitalize on. ... "Was really pleased with his performance."

On special teams: "It's performance based. ... It's an opportunity to impact. We've got to perform at a high level. You've seen the investment we've taken. ... We've got to take the tools that we have and the personnel that we have and make sure we're putting them in a great position and guys have to take ownership and perform in the moment."

On clock management on final drive: Says they had three timeouts on final drive, so felt like they had the opportunity. ... wanted to use tempo. Also allowed Jordan, gave him an opportunity, hit a big run on the second play. ... When is effort going to show up and make the difference? ... Cam was able to wall his guy out, two other receivers were blocking. Able to use timeout early. ... I felt confident where we were (inside the 15). Knew Ryan liked it left middle. So we set it up for him to go win the game. ... Able to middle it and Ryan went and finished it."

On Maurice Smith: "Baveon has battled throughout early part of the season. Been battling through ailments physically as well. ... Knew Maurice was going to be available Friday .... when he got going he felt good. Even though he didn't play a perfect game by any stretch ... I thought Maurice did a very nice job for the opportunites that he had. ... That's going to allow us to grow. ...Still managing guys that are getting their bodies right ... they're working hard at it."

Says they ask McDonald to do a lot of things. It was a play, the interception, that he was extremely disappointed in. .... He was banged up a little bit last week and wasn't available every day for practice ... as Cam had a play, an assignment here and there ... the effort at the end was what showed up and ended up being a huge play.

"There was a fair balance of the excitement of a win" with focusing on improvement.

"I thought Saturday provided a great picture that we did well that allowed us to win and things that we have to improve."

On Keyshawn Helton: "A great leader for us, he's a guy that comes to work every day. He's had some ups and downs throughout the course of the season, but his heart and passion shows up. ... It's what this football team needs."

On secondary: "We've had a lot of injuries. Sometimes with guys having to sit out halves of games. ... Part of that communication plays into it. There's things that have shown up in two fold, one fundamentals, and the confidence in that throughout. ... I thought for the last game and a half I think our secondary is really taking some positive steps. Had a crossing route where there was a quick motion that showed up that we've got to be better on.... They're starting to grow on that.

McLellion did some good things, he said.

Says Travis has had a challenging start to the season. Injury wise and confidence. I thought the Notre Dame game he did a lot of good things, handful of plays he'd like to have that. "Jordan Travis was the starting quarterback at the start of the season for a reason. We believe in him. ... His availability has been a little bit limited. ... He's battling. ... He's pushing through. I thought he had a really good day Wednesday.... Even when he's not been on the field, how engaged he's been trying to help the other guys in that room. ... Shows that you're trustworthy. ... When we knew he was going to be able to play at a high level, he got the call."

Says team has been, on the whole, a pretty good tackling team. Struggled with the Syracuse quarterback. And they gave up 130 yards of offense on missed tackles. "Those are the ones that are going to hurt you." ... "We missed a couple of tackles in special teams that cost us in returns."

On Parchment: "It was a teaching moment. ... I appreciated Andrew's effort and the finish. ... Ball is on the ground you've got to finish the play." Says he was getting on Parchment because of how he actually played the play, not picking up the fumble. He was happy about that. It was the first part of the play that was what he was talking to him about. "I'm glad we scored."

Says goal-line stand is something you can build on. Brings up Deloach's play on the QB. "I think it can do wonders for you as you move forward. ... It showed if it comes down to one play, if it comes down to a last drive, offense, defense, special teams all played a role in getting the job done ... Our guys were able to finish and go win the game. And that's something we needed to see." Says if another game comes down to the last play, his guys are going to have confidence that they can do it.

That's a wrap on Norvell.

Kenny Dillingham is here.

On Travis: "He's a pretty tough kid. I don't think he gets enough credit for how tough he is. I think he got knocked down in the 30s last week. When he had to make a play he made a play." Says in terms of managing the game, did what they wanted him to. ... Says there were 4 or 4 1/2 plays that he listed as an MA and he can improve upon ... staying in the pocket, etc. ... says Travis has played six full games in his career. When he's played in those games, one way or another we've found a way to score and one way or the other we've won some of those games.

"I think teammates respond to McKenzie as well. I don't want it to look like there's one down, one up ... Anytime you play quarterback you don't usually get the physical beatdown that other positions get ... that's a guy that's getting that and then getting up. And playing every snap. And his teammates respond to that. ... I think that's something our team feeds off of."

Says they've emphasized penalties in practice. And that they understand how hard it becomes to move the ball when they're behind the plays. ... I think our guys are slowly and slowly learning in how to play the game on a successful level. ... We've

Says they work on perimeter blocking a lot. Keyshawn Helton made a great block on McDonald's TD catch. Had another good block later, too. On the INT, said it was the perfect read by Travis. It was a cover zero. They had the RBs out wide to give them the ball. And if McDonald gets a hand on the kid, it's probably going for 60.

Has implored his WRs they HAVE to be better out wide blocking. "To force people to step up and challenge us at the line." And that way they can make plays down field.

Says Helton was only open on his TD because he was willing to do the dirty work on the play before. "We've got to put in the dirty work in order to get wide open. ... That's a testament to him and the work he's put in."

Says Milton is Travis's No. 1 fan. "He's talking to him, building him up .. not enough positive things you can say about him. ... Says Travis has done a remarkable job continuing to work, continuing to fight. Said it wasn't easy on Travis that everybody else wanted the other guy to play.

Says he doesn't have any idea what Milton and Travis are talking about half the time.

On the offensive line: "Obviously getting those guys back is critical for us. On the same token, that Syracuse defensive front is good. ... I've got to do a better job of protecting those guys up front a little bit ... Scheme-wise that's obviously going to open us up. ... This last week we knew pressure was going to be an issue ... so we were trying to avoid negatives ... it didn't always look pretty but at the end of the day it got the job done."

Says UNC is more about creating a four-man front. Says they've recruited well in the defensive backfield and they let their corners play. They're going to challenge FSU's WRs.

On running game: "We had about 115 yards off truly dropback passes turned into scrambles and rushes. ... I do think the extension of putting those RBs out there wide, and having the threat of getting our RBs having ball out there." .... Says having Travis in there, and RBs out wide, it puts a lot of pressure on defense. ... Balance of putting those guys out there really opened up the run game. "That's the challenge. We've got to be better blocking on the perimeter."

That's a wrap on Dillingham.

Adam Fuller is up next.

On third down success: "The coverage and rush worked really well together. We simplified things in coverage" and said they had good pressure even though the sack numbers weren't there. Said they were very good on fourth down, too.

On Deloach's play: "That's a play that scored earlier in the game. ... Same look, same formation, same motion, same play. ... It was a one-on-one play in the hole, one on one with the quarterback, big quarterback." Said started the game fast and played well and in critical moments.

On Briggs: "One of our most improved players ... He was playing a lot. We support Dennis and getting him back as soon as we can on the rehab. He'll be missed, but he'll be replaced."

Says UNC's offense is the same. Offensive line is mostly back. And they've got a slot receiver that is a really good player. "They're not having a problem throwing the football right now. ... He's one of the best quarterbacks in the country."

On how FSU finished first half: "Teams runs naked. ... Loss of focus is an easy word to put on things. We just didn't make the play on that run. Playing really good football and the next thing you know that thing hits ... there was no reason to let them back in that football game. That's a play you defend on Game 1. He's a good player, don't get me wrong. He's a big player that runs away from people."

Says they're not proud of getting burned on that naked play over and over again.

On crossing route for TD: Says it was the first game Robinson has played safety. And he anticipated Knowles was going to do something else. "Our reaction wasn't good on it." ... "They came back on the next series and ran the exact same play, and Kevin and Jammie did it perfect." Says even if you get confused on a play "they can't be touchdowns."

Says they probably played 20 snaps of six DBs. The rest of them were 5 DBs. Says he's not trying to play a bunch of DBs, but injuries dictate the rotation. "We're trying to find the right group of guys." ... "I think we're starting to narrow it down. At this point, we played some new guys." Says Cooper is fully in rotation now. Knowles is fully in rotation.

Says Ray should be available this weekend. And has made a lot of growth. They need someone to step up with Briggs going down.

On lack of creating turnovers: "There are certain things you can try to do as far as taking the ball away, fundamentals. ... just disrupting the football when the quarterback has got it. ... yeah, we want more. I'm a true believer if you chase balls, number will come."

Says Thomas and Johnson have a high football IQ and acumen and were able to diagnose formations and plays. He was not pleased with Quashon Fuller when he got burned on another naked.

Says he doesn't mind players getting on other players, "Keir is definitely someone we lean on for leadership."

"I still think we're playing good, physical football in the run game right now."

Says the explosive plays have started to go down, "But you don't want them to be touchdowns."

"I think our tackling has improved this year ... we had 10 missed tackles on Saturday." But likes the way they chase down the ball carrier, because one missed tackle can't lead to a touchdown.

That's a wrap for Fuller.

John Papuchis is up next.

Says for the investment and time that's been put into it, "we haven't reaped the rewards."

"We've got to look at some different options and gives some guys different opportunities. ... Some of it is coaching, some of it is playing. There's a lot leading into us being not what we expected to be."

Says Douglas's slow kickoff returns "are certainly not by design." Says they try to determine return guys by how they handle the ball on offense, if they play on offense. ... Says he thinks the hesitation was when Douglas not sure if he should come out of the end zone or not.

Says program's philosophy is to create game-changing opportunities in special teams. They're certainly aware that hasn't happened. ... Says they don't want to just waive the white flag and fair catch everything. But they also don't want to be foolish and keep getting the ball at the 17. But it's a mindset. They don't want to concede that they're not going to return the ball on any kickoff.

Says they're averaging getting the ball at the 23 when they bring the ball out. As opposed to the 25 when they don't. And they don't want to concede they just can't do it.

Says they made some changes on kickoff coverage unit because of some injuries, and they'll definitely re-evaluate it. Because he never wants his front-line coverage guys to appear slow, which they did on Saturday.

Says they have to block it better or it doesn't matter who the returner is.

"From a big picture standpoint, we probably won a game in a way that we needed to win it." Says it didn't have to be that close though. Says fumbled punt was a huge turning point in the game.

"We can go three, four, five series at a time and look as good as anybody and then kind of out of nowhere," it turns and the defense starts giving up big plays and touchdowns.

And that's a wrap on Papuchis.
And a wrap on the day.

































------------------------------------------------------------------------

Good morning! Mike Norvell and his coordinators are scheduled to speak with the media beginning around 11:30.

Corey will do his usual amazing transcribing when it begins.

that FSU leads all of FBS in plays of 60+ yards? That was... surprising to say the least.

I would like to make two points

first this team has improved .. both play and attitude
coaches are a coaching them up in most instances

2020 1 did not know where to even line up
2 penalties galore
3 complete lack of effort
4 one the ball snapped did not who to cover or what pattern to run .. they were totally lost
5. lack of basic tackling and blocking skills

2021
talent issues
errors still
ABSOLUTELY HUGE IMPROVEMENT ..we know the plays where to line up who to cover we give effort are tackling fairly well .. light years better

know how bad we were against Louisville the first half .. were were wort than that the whole year in 2020 ..

@Dot Com
@iraschoffel

Hey guys
others are reporting he is gone for the season

Guys,

Streamyard is having a connectivity issue causing a delay in the start of the JCS on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. We will get it rolling as soon as possible!

I want to thank FSU for all it did this weekend with great events. It was non stop fun and entertainment!

Let me share the experience:
We arrive at the Hilton Garden Inn which was clean...(price was high but we knew it going in)
Then we took our family to a sold out FSU Flying High Circus which was very entertaining...mostly high wire things and balancing acts...some AGT type stuff.
Then we ran across campus to the theater and music area where we listen to a comedian named Pete Lee. He was really good and went on about an hour (no profanity either).
Then we hit a late night Mexican food place to make sure we had indigestion the next morning...that wasn't so smart, looking back on it.

Saturday am we went to the Landis Green Breakfast with the students, alumni, and some faculty...which lead us right into the tailgating and game.
The weather was great! The fans were all good hearted people and (only one loudmouth that expected our 2013 team on the field--must not have watched the prior games).
The team has a great future ahead and you can tell if you see what Norvell is doing. Oh, lot 10 was nice too (smaller and probably a touch older group on Hayden and Bellview)...normally we are in lot 14.

The whole weekend was a spectacular time!
Go enjoy the whole experience that is available to you!
With our family, we will go to games like this to try and take it all in.

Fade Route and Family

So based of the depth chart going into the game this past week Milton was listed as the starter. Did this change because he had an injury or what was the real cause for him to suit up but no start? Honestly I'm fine with whoever they start but I'm just asking for consistency so we can maybe function like a normal team for once.

I'm not making excuses for being 0-4 but you have to look at the uniqueness of FSU's situation as well. There is no other team that has gone through 3 coaches in 4/5 years. Then add in known issues with recruiting classes in a coaches first year, especially during early signing period. I have to believe that our roster is in a worse situation than these other teams. It will take an extra year or two get this roster back to the quality of a solid p5 team. None of those other second year head coaches have had to deal with the roster issues as us and the players on those teams haven't had to learn 3-4 different playbooks over the same period.

I don't know if Mike is the guy or not, but unless you want to guarantee that FSU stays down for the next decade, you have to be patient and give him time to rebuild. Personally I think you have to wait until after the '23 season. Yes that is 4 years, deal with it. At that point he will have had time with his full roster and 2 years with the likes of Travis Hunter, and Atkins getting some solid depth at OL. If at that point we don't see REAL improvement, then discuss making a change.

Being reported that he is out for season.
