FSU Fans - Norvell question

[Detective John Kimble]

Do you think FSU should fire Norvell? I think they can’t afford it.

Opinion: Firing Norvell now will only set Florida State back even further

The only path forward is patience.

Of course, but I still think FSU can’t afford it. I didn’t read the article, just the headline.

I do not think FSU should fire Norvell for a few reasons. 1) FSU cannot afford to be paying 2 ciaches around 8 million dollars NOT to coach.

2) I'm not sure at this point that it's all on him. NOW I know he is the head coach and it falls on him but I am not certain that Fuller and Dillingham are right for their position.

3) I think it takes some time to get things going in the direction you want them. As you know, FSU fans are spoiled as FVCK and expect things to be like 2013 and the dynasty years. We are not a patient fan base. Now may be the time for patience.

4) the recruiting class would fall apart completely if Norvell is fired.

FSU can afford it, athletic budget is $160 million +. If they bond it, it's no big deal. Costs more to keep a shitty coach.

This isn't the nfl.

Okay?

They should keep him. We are so bad it doesn’t really matter who the coach is. We need a coach to rebuild the program to a level where we are competitive in the conference. He is as good as anybody else we could possibly get for the next couple years.

It sucks but here we are. Jimbo left us in a bad spot then they hired willie and crashed the plane into the mountain.

Could anyone do better in that position? For all we know, he could be Vince Lombardi.

its pathetic but i think we should keep him another year, at the very least to keep hunter in the class

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.

I’ve always said a college coach deserves 4 years. The exception would be an internal disaster that was Willie. Those in the know, knew it was a huge issue.
I‘m as puzzled as the next fan but I do think Norvell deserves the chance to prove himself.
The question that needs to be asked is, can he make the tough calls and fire underperforming staffers to get the right folks in?

As long as Woodson is there, they keep Hunter.

I honestly have no idea what happened with slick Willie, can we get an abbreviated version of events other than he couldn't coach?

Apparently he was not the same coach in front of the camera as he was behind the scenes. Micromanaging asst. and over ruling their coaching decisions. Even the defense.
It’s obvious he didn’t have any discipline but it was much worse behind the scenes. Just really bad behavior all around in front of most of the administration. It made for an easy call to dismiss after only 18 games.

I can’t believe it took this long but I stole this and wish I had the OG poster.

This is Norvell trying to fix FSU football.
