every week, every interview.....Mike, do you think you are capable of 'doing a better job'?....If yes, when will that start??? Maybe when the stadium is empty??? Do we need to pay you some more money to motivate you to do a better job?? Please, let us know...

We ain’t beating anybody with 6 turnovers. Even an FCS team like JAX State. Oh wait…..

FSU has one of the worst football team in the country. However, it has the best Women's Soccer team in the country. What's the difference??? Wait for it, Wait for it..... Coaching and Talent.... Yes. boys, the ladies know how to win and are getting it done.....

Is that a realistic thought?

This hire was a horrible hire!! We needed someone that has built a program not someone that took over a good Memphis program. Mark Stoops should have been the guy but of course Admin screwed it up once again.

Buckeyes pushed aside their DC yesterday- relegated him to the booth while an assistant DC called the defensive plays. Apparently the OSU head coach was tired of the way things were going with the DC. Interesting way to “change” DCs without firing anybody!!! Norvel, you listening?

FSU does not need to fire coaches right now and pay more people to not coach. They need to make changes as the contracts run out. Dugans is first up. The WRs suck and he hasn't worked out. Fuller and Dilbert have a full year left. So Too Cute and Middle Wide Open stay for 2022. FSU is so bad only time will help. Pay off the mistakes. Don't make new ones and if Norvell doesn't have things to an Al Golden level in 2024 you hire a real Power 5 coach.

Seems to me we DO need to use both MM and Travis much like we did ( because we had no choice) in the Notre Dame game. Travis starts.....runs around and make stuff happen like he did last year and v Notre Dame......its ugly and hit or miss but more effective than anything since. Then when Travis gets winded or dinged....you bring in MM for a change of pace.....hopefully later in the game when the opposing D is a little winded. It aint perfect, it will look ugly as hell at times....but we also know now that sticking with one qb the entire game aint working either. Don't tell me a two qb system cant work.....it can. Bowden used Jimmy Jordan and Wally Woodham. Spurrier alternated qbs on every play to upset FSU in 97. And he used it with other qbs. A two qb system is not inherently bad......IF YOU USE AND COACH IT RIGHT.

If Norvell is really the guy, put your money where your mouth is and give him an extension to reward him for his career suicide. He is already under compensated for the role. If purging the program of bad actors, improving recruiting, and injecting better discipline into the program for the long term are the primary objectives, he should be rewarded. He may know what his team is capable of at this point with the ratio of freshmen and sophomores that he knows what will get them dismantled and what won't. He never placed lofty expectations in his team for this season. If short term results were expected he should be fired. Pretty simple. On the flip side, do you want a coach that does well out of the gate, puts it on their resume as a quick cleanup then leaves?

I think the coaches are rotating the QBs early to see how the opposing Defense is going to play each QB.
Then they decide which D is the one they think they can beat.

The problem is that it is contrary to what MN talks about. We need to focus on our team and how we perform. Not try to be reactive to the defense.

I don't care who plays QB
Our players can't get open or catch.

Run the Damn ball.

It's time to see if you can get out of the se season openers. If not don't schedule anymore for 10 years. It's cupcake time and the rest of the ACC can show us the way. Most of them play high school level team and one power 5 team like Rutgers or Kansas. We have UF and ND. The rest should be established 1 to 2 win schools from the D-2 or NAIA. The program is at a point where people will go to a game if they know it's a win. Who is going to a $3-4K weekend to watch FSU get beat like adrim on prime time. Cupcakes cupcakes cupcakes. Certified cupcake

Man have we fallen so far. Rewatched the game this morning and realize this type of playing calling and defensive play calling is made for the AAC conference. He was never supposed to be our head coach let alone a coordinator here

These 2 calls is when I lost all hope.

Had the Td against ND and the past two weeks basically nothing. Is he hurt or what??

MN keeps saying We're a young football team."
Really?
Milton. Corbin. Baveon. Taylor. Gant. Dent. Gainer. Johnson. Parchment. Helton. McDonald. Jay. Cooper. Rice. Gibbons. Scott. Briggs. Thomas. Dotson.
It's all about coaching. These kids aren't getting it.
(except for defensive line.)

outside of a jermaine johnson, it appears the transfer portal is NOT this amazing solution. i bought into it, guilty, but it's not the fix it was glorified to be

How far did Travis throw that ball? 35 yards?

He cussed out CMN during the JSU game. Bad attitude AND no talent. He should never see the field again. No wonder Louisville kicked him to a program that was DESPERATE for quarterbacks at the time.

Turnovers.

Clearly we’ve all heard and are uneasy about the future of the program. I would suspect Norvell is getting advice that he needs some changes - more so for the fact I trust Michael Alford to tell him that he needs to send a message

…I’m OK with T.Ward being RB1 if he can pass protect.

from the snippets we heard about him under Taggart (and seen), to the few snaps he got last season, being placed on scholly (affecting how we now recruit the pos) & the work he did in the spring, and how he looks from the reports/film he APPEARS to fit this offense best IMO. The vision, reaction/cuts just look solid.

Also okay with him being RB2 & sharing that with Toafili. Would enjoy Ira or Mr. Clark’s take on this.

What type of talent (or lack there of) we have on the current roster, do they continue fruitless attempts to eek out a win in this meaningless season or do they invest in the future by:

• Playing younger players who will have a bigger role next season.
  Abandoning any direct snap plays in order to protect our QBs.
• Changing offensive and defensive coordinators *this* season.
• Focusing on fundamental skills in practice instead of trick plays.
• Simplifying play calling and drastically reducing the number of plays in our playbook.
• Walking the team through the NCAA football rule book so they understand why penalties are applied.

Lets face it: this season is done. I’m interested to see if the coaches are capable adjusting their approach and at least helping players make progress by increasing their skills (if only slightly) and increasing their game intelligence. To me, that would be real progress that prepares us for a better future.

Are we too busy just trying to get our guys playing disciplined, fundamental football and running our offense that we do not game plan for our opponents?

I ask because every week it just seems we are just grasping at straws at what might work against defenses and then even when we find a weakness we can exploit, we go away from what's working.

Against Jax St, it seemed like we could pound Corbin and Ward between the tackles all day. Against Wake it seemed they took that interior running game away but we had success with wider pitches to Ward (and even Toafili).

It really hit me in that game when the announcers mentioned that they were surprised Wake wasnt getting the ball to their star receiver Roberson. And I was thinking, why should they, when they have complete mismatch with 6'5" Perry against 5'11" Brownlee. Perry had 155 of Wake's 259 receiving yards along with a big PI that kept a drive alive.

It just haven't seen our coaches doing the same kind of game planning in forever. Even Jimbo was more of a "we are going to execute the things we do" coach than to adjust to what the defense does.

I'd add in self scouting and making adjustments to anticipate what defense might try to take away, but I'm not sure we do anything well enough for that.

Thoughts? I’m not advocating but I just don’t see Muschamp coming here. Fuller has to go though. Dot was right. There’s no resume of accomplishment.

Maybe we got the wrong coach outta Memphis? Their special teams look good and they are a very disciplined team.

It truly pains me to say this. But Norvell looks incompetent. Beyond that, he looks like he has zero faith in his players. Just look at his body language. It’s starting to rub off. We have some dark days ahead.
