    IT TAKES NO TALENT TO HUSTLE

  • I'm just so up and down on this guy. On paper, to an extent, he looks great. Two number two recruiting classes the last two years. I stumbled on some NCAA stats last night that said FSU has the number 2 defense in the nation. There offense was ranked 21, just two behind us.

    But then that's where it gets cloudy for me. I know FSU only lost two games and they're going to a BCS Bowl, but I still have to scratch my head and think, why are they not in the national championship picture more with that kind of talent?

    He's lost 4 games in his tenure at FSU when he was a 10+pt favorite... I think that speaks for itself when it comes to his coaching abilites or inabilities.

    I'll shoot for another down vote. Do not want him. Coaches in FL, still loses to ACC teams with FL talent.

    eh, my thoughts on him losing some games is just that he's still coaching 18-22 year old kids. IMO, there's no reason alabama should have lost to aTm this year, but they did.

    You can coach kids all day long, but they are going to make mistakes. And when you're at a program like that, the competition is usually an underdog and playing pumped up. Again, with young kids who are at a big time program, they may not take lesser teams seriously, regardless of how well they're coached. JMO on why he lost and why other top teams lose on occasion
