Honestly, how can you not blame the coaches for this loss!
Offensively - The offensive play calling was stale and redundant. It's become very predictable. The QB play or lack thereof is still a major problem. Yes Milton had some drops but its clear he's not the same player at UCF., right now he's serviceable. I'm sorry Travis is not the answer at QB. The early gimmicky trick plays with both QB's in the game was awful! We should have kept running the ball more and more short passes and screens to get Milton in a rhythm....This is Coaching!.
Defensively - I have said from the very beginning that the DC is in over his head. We routinely give up big chunk plays and routinely have questionable head scratching calls every game, not to mention continuous pass coverage lapses each game and the CB's still don't turn their head to locate the ball. To not play prevent defense on the last 2 plays is Criminal and there is NO justification for not putting your players in the best position to make plays. Yes the 2 DB's should have still made the play, BUT they should have never been put in that position to begin with if he is in prevent defense instead of playing man underneath with 2 over the top., The last 2 weeks we are making these opposing QB's look like All Americans.....This is Coaching!
I have gone on record from the beginning to say yes Coach Norvell is an upgrade over Taggart (which isn't saying much) but he is NOT the answer for our program! He just isn't! There were and is better candidates for our Head Coach. We are FSU and we need a more qualified HC. Until then please for the love of everything Holy fire the DC elevate coach Shannon as the DC AND relinquish play calling to someone else OR at least start doing quality control on the play calling and sets you keep running!
Last thing, I'm in no way endorsing Coach Prime as a candidate to replace Coach Norvell as I seen a post mentioning this. But I will tell you a 100% fact - I was apart of a conversation with my best friend and Coach Prime (we have a mutual close friend) and he's looking to win big at Jackson State for the next 3 to 4 years with his son at QB, but when his QB son is gone to the league he absolutely has his sights on FSU job if Norvell hasn't gotten us on track (our Administration said something to him when he interviewed here that he's holding onto).
