I was shocked at how bad the on-field coaching and decision making was in the Jacksonville State game, but I don’t believe we should fire him. The program was in abysmal shape when he came in and the team culture was rotten. Norvell has been cleaning house, but the talent simply isn’t there yet, not even close. Everybody thinks of FSU and assumes we have talent. Truth is, we don’t have much and from a recruiting standpoint we can’t afford to start over again.
Wake Forest embarrassed us because they are a better team and unfortunately had better football players. Notre Dame looked like giants on the field compared to our players and it turns out that close game against them was not really that impressive. Things can turn around and I hope they do, but it will take longer than we want to believe. I didn’t enjoy reading the article, but it was unfortunately spot on.
