So Willie Taggart was 9-12 when he got fired during the season at FSU in year two

Probably a race thing

Sir, this is the SEC Rant.

Well, the eye test says that FSU is moving in a different direction.

I don't know. The eye test looks like they're still running in neutral at best. Maybe they've played a couple more competitive games this year, but they also lost to Jacksonville St, have a 3-6 record, and could easily lose to any of the three teams remaining on their schedule. I don't know how you don't pull the plug on Norvell if he finishes 3-9 or 4-8 with a less than stellar recruiting class coming in next year

Did you miss the Jackson State players planting their flag at mid field in celebration as a brave FSU player proposed in the endzone?

But Mike Norvell is 6-12 and still has his job at FSU in year two


Are they waiting for Norvell to win three more games before they fire him?

---

I'm not sure that Florida State can do the two-year firing move twice in four years. That job is in danger of being like the Tennessee job was, where your money is just no good.

I think Norvell needs one more year to know for sure because you really can't judge him on last year being a first year coach in a COVID year.

---

I doubt Norvell gets the time he will need to have success at FSU. I would have been happy with his hire at Arkansas, at least for a while.

Jimbo's last year there was a shite show. 6-6 and had to make up a game from earlier in the season so they could make a bowl.

---

Jimbo's been gone for four years. He's not the reason they are bad now. Yes he didn't leave the program in the best shape but to keep blaming him for current failure is just continuing to make excuses.

No one knew how big a shite show FSU really was. Jimbo sat on his arse and they were almost academically shut down. No discipline, numerous washouts in selecting QBs, 0-Line disintegrated to NOTHING, a piss ant would have knocked the line down.
Taggert came in, they could not even line up correctly on offense or defense. Taggert and staff bombed in recruiting. Taggert played buddy with the players and they ran all over him off the field. NO QB or O-Line development.
Norvell comes in and inherits a mess from not ONE but TWO Coaches. It looks like the players have bought into Norvell. They play hard, reduced penalties, only 2 last game, and academics have improved dramatically. Gradual talent improving but the next 2 classes are looking really good. Norvell has been able to use the portal to grab a few players also to fill holes. If the O-Line continues their upward trajectory, a winning season is entirely possible next. Then a few playmakers and a 9 win season in 2 years. i personally think he has 3 years. Anything beyond that is a wild guess.
I have family in the Athletic Department, I get a few tibbits a long.

Jimbo’s fault.

Except fla st. is competitive, as it were, while W.T. got blown out by everybody! Fla St. is slowly getting the train back on it's tracks.. recruiting is going much better and there is a different vibe in TALLAHASSEE!

absolute bullshite


Willy Taggart was successful at WKU, then South Florida, then turned Oregon around in one decent year from Helfrich's mess, then got FSU in shambles


you are just literally making shite up


Norvell's team sucks this year, probably the worst team in FSU history
