I had a similar issue. The team was really talented and these unathletic dads would wear the kids out during practice and games. Also would yell at them for getting out of the way of being hit. I asked them to just stand in the box against a kid that threw low 70’s. Just stand in the box. None of them could do it. They had their heels on the line and were jumping out of the way on pitches on the outer half. That shut them up the rest of the season.
There are a lot of kids that throw really hard these days at young ages. I give the kids a lot of credit for standing in there. The game is a heck of a lot harder now than it was when I was that age
Going by more reports today in multiple locations, it's sounding more and more like Francois will be starting vs VT
Honestly, what I expected. He seems to me to be the best fit for the new offense.
I just can't figure out a realistic level of expectation. The talent is there. Can the new staff fit it into their system?
I mean the season in general, as well. As far as FSU goes, 9-3 would be a rousing success in my mind for the new staff's first season. More important for me than the actual W/L total is how well the kids adapt and execute.
Adaptation must lead to execution which must lead to wins.
...which leads to happy, which leads to more happy, which leads to more of the same.
Man, I am trying to temper expectations, but there is so much positivity in the air that it is getting me ALL PUMPED UP!
The realization of just how much I had begun to dread the drama around that other coach has settled in this spring. WT talks like a real person and shows genuine character traits. It seems like the kids are buying in and the assistants appear to be solid. Let’s hope that Greg Frey can get the big uglies revved up and rolling.
Go Noles!!
I am very interested to see what Frey does with the OL, if that unit gels and gets production this year, I feel very good about our long term prospects

Wow! Number 1 HS team in the country (depending on service) IMG Academy got rolled when their first string was in against Columbia HS 27-0. It’s just a preseason scrimmage and the second and third teams are in so who knows what the final score will be (33-13 atm) but that is pretty sad for a first string loaded with P5 commits and mainly 5 and 4 stars.
Maybe they need their practice field...
Coached by FSU's own Brian Allen.
Yep. Best I can guess offense will still have some ups and downs due to new system and questions on Oline but the defense is going to be smarter and not constantly messing up on key situations. So glad Kelly is gone
When I look at Taggart's previous stops, his offenses began to thrive almost immediately (when his QB stayed healthy). That gives me reason for optimism on that side of the ball.
We can't expect to win Clemson.
Notre Dame and Miami are 50-50 tossups.
Louisville, VTech and NC State - we should expect to win two out of three.
We should expect to win the rest.
That's an expectation of 9-3.
If Miami and ND were at home, I think we’d be 50-50, but away, we’re definite underdogs. My expectation now is 8-4, anything better is gravy. I think we’ll go 9-3. My thoughts are usually are more optimistic than my expectations. We have talent, so an 11-1 season is not out of the realm of possibility....either is 7-5. I really just want us to look like we’re playing hard.
Opening game against Tech is absolutely crucial. They're talented enough on paper to beat us on a given day...Let's just not let it be this Labor Day in Doak.
Per warchant the new staff spends time teaching players what an opponent will try to do to counter a specific play or situation.
What a novel concept: I don’t recall ever hearing that in all of Fisher’s years at FSU.

I agree up to the point that home field historically means very little in the scUM series.
Especially given that Labor Day is also my birthday. The Noles wouldn't lose on my birthday, right?
um is always an unknown game; let's not forget though they beat us last year on a last second play that was unbelievable and we were starting a back up. While um has talent and gotten better under Richt I am not sold on them. Oh and if the QB is Francios he will be very used to this type of game.
Why are people so high and scared of Miami? They're severely overrated. It took an awful Charles Kelly D, a checked out team and coaching staff, and a CB who thought he was already in the NFL for Miami to squeak by with a lucky throw/catch to win and break a long losing streak. That's the same Miami team that then went on to lose to any real team on their schedule...which has happened almost every year for the past 5-6 years. Why is this year any different? It's not like Richt can coach teams up, we've seen that before as well. Screw that, we're taking it to them this year.
I also think ND is overrated, but not to the degree Miami is.

Amusing Followup story to the Zach Smith/Corch Irvan Mayers story.

I don't know how anyone could support any of them at this point.
That is just messed up. Fire em all.

No way. I hope Meyer stays. Can you imagine the shenanigans at opposing team stadiums?
Strap-ons and c-rings and wiener pics, oh my!

Agree on Miami I think they simply have a pretty easy schedule do will have a decent record.
ND will be tough

Adrian Peterson and Jamaal Charles are competing for the third-string running back position in Washington. It wasn't that long ago that these guys were every fantasy league's top pick.

Figured we'd have an entire thread on this topic. But....
1) Does this mean Taggart has a shorter leash after year 3?
2) Anyone have clues on who FSU wants?
3) Was this a surprise to anyone or an expected departure?
4) Does this change anything with the hiring direction for MM's replacement? Did Jr have a shot before?
Good luck to him, I'd say we are in a better spot now than FSU was 5 years ago from an athletic position.
