Thanks be onto a NewYawkernole.
who also pointed to “Rutgers” as a MODEL of “what shoulda been”… NOT ONCE IN TALLY BUT TWICE. Sadly, we did not hire a Rutgers-MODEL head coach who likely could have produced a Natty here.
But the real issue is what to do with an INEXPERIENCED ADMIN who “coulda” back then…but didn’t. You see, INEXPERIENCE WILL INEVITABILITY PRODUCE A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT UNTIL IT GAINS THE EXPERIENCE NECESSARY TO PRODUCE AN EFFECTIVE ONE. And all the while, “on field” performance ultimately suffers. This is what happened here at at FSU. An inexperienced ADMIN “hired” a “not experiencially ready” coach to turn around a once ELITE P5 PROGRAM. And that HC hired “inexperienced-to-do-so”COORDINATORS. On the field performance suffered.
Worse yet, this pattern logically must have a spiraling effect. Thus, “things are getting worse, not better.” Cut to the quick, our INEXPERIENCE WAS TOO INEXPERIENCED TO KNOW HOW TOTALLY INEXPERIENCED IT WAS …AND STILL IS.” And not knowing “that” results in blaming a booooogeyman called “CULTURE.”
And then there’s the DENTED LAMES who grab the “W-L RECORD BOOK” to IDENTIFY a “TURN AROUND COACH.” They completely overlook the fact that that coach (as with Rutgers) could have inherited an 0-12 and then, the next go round, a 2-23 team. And for the next 2-4 years following his takeover, those “makeover” years produced a record slightly above 500. These antagonists also overlook a RECORD OF EXPERIENCE, for example, those gained as DC at Miami and RECENTLY, Ohio State…NATTYS and a later 5 wins in 6 attempts. Try looking at the last few seasons at RUTGERS, once the WORST D1 in college football! Try recognizing that experience is EVIDENCED by being sought after to turn around teams such as Michigan, Tennessee, the Tampa Bay Bucs and then the defenses at Ohio State and then the New England Pats, WORLD CHAMPS.
You gotta love that Michigan coach’s comment following his team’s Saturday 20-13 win IN THE BIG HOUSE over 3-O Rutgers :
“WE WON….BUT WE DIDN'T BEAT ‘EM.”
Well, OUR “inexperience” (and I am NOT TALKING ABOUT FSU’s PLAYERS), GOT THEIR COLLECTIVE ASSES SOUNDLY BEATEN FOR THE THIRD STRAIGHT TIME.
The travesty of inexperience must be recognized before rebuilding can occur.
