It's a talent/depth issue.

Reading all the posts about firing Norvell, or changing coordinators is ridiculous. Do you think that these guys showed up in Tallahassee and forgot how to coach fundamentals?? They spend every day with these players and know what they have to work with. I'm firmly convinced that our poor performance is largely attributed to a lack of talent and depth. How many high school All-Americans do you see on this roster? At the end of the season, how many FSU players will land on any ALL-ACC 1st, 2nd, or 3rd teams? Maybe Johnson?? There is an obvious reason why grad transfers are starting, and yes, Wake Forest has better players than FSU. They are older, been in their system longer and our physically more mature. That's a fact. How do you think Dabo would do with this roster? How many of our current players would step on the field with our 2013 team?? Couple that with a lack on an elite QB sine 2013-2014, and poor offense line play, and it's no wonder we haven't been very good for the past 6 years.

It's going to take this staff a couple of years to recruit at the highest level before you can judge them. Bring in a couple of top 10 classes and than judge the staff on the results. I graduated from FSU in 1986 and have been a die hard fan since I was a kid. Trust me, I know that the on field product is not what we were accustomed to watching in the 1990's and 2013-2014, but the days of FSU simply having better players , and more of them, is not where we are at this time. I am a Norvell fan and think we need to let him continue to build a roster. Everything I hear about him, behind the scenes is very positive.

We should be 1-2 at this point and may be lucky to win 3 games this year. Its tough to watch, but I do think that we have better days ahead.
