Here is what Ira wrote in 2016 -
I’ll start with Heaser. As far as I can tell, he’s only been a head referee with the ACC for a few years. He has called four Florida State games since 2014. In those four games, FSU has a 1-3 record.
With Heaser’s crew in charge, FSU lost to Clemson and North Carolina this year and the Seminoles lost to Georgia Tech last season. Their one win in those four games was a 20-17 victory over Boston College in 2014 -- Jameis Winston’s last season.
When you look at the penalty breakdown for those games, Florida State was the more penalized team in all four games -- but I don’t know if you can conclude anything from that. FSU is the third-most penalized team in the country right now, and it doesn’t seem to matter which crew is working the game. But since you’re probably curious, here is the breakdown for those games.
....
Again, I don’t know what that means. It’s a super small sample size. But given what transpired on Saturday -- we heard from a source that FSU sent in more than 10 calls for review at the ACC office -- it’s at least worth noting. Especially when you consider FSU’s overall record during this time period.
At the same time that the Seminoles are 1-3 in games Heaser’s crew officiates, they are 27-4 when anyone else is enforcing the rules. And when you look back before that, before Heaser was a head referee, he worked one other FSU game as a field judge. That was the Seminoles’ 2010 ACC championship game against Virginia Tech -- a 44-33 win for the Hokies.
So, all in all, Jeff Heaser has been on the field for five of Jimbo Fisher’s games as head coach. FSU is 1-4 in those games. In all other games, Fisher is 72-13. Again, I’m not suggesting that this guy is doing anything nefarious -- Virginia Tech actually was called for more penalties than FSU in that 2010 game. Just saying it’s an odd phenomenon.
