Deion has been a great hire for Colorado if you are a reality show type of guy but on the football field? More bad than good imho and his health is a question mark to say the least. It wouldn't be the homerun hire you think it is for them.

They're pretty sick of him here in Denver/Boulder (Buffs fans) and they're in real bad financial shape too.

Right before they got crushed by UGA (and Beck), they were 13-0 and must've thought that Norvell had built a machine to last for decades. Prison Mike really did hit it just right and caught lightning in a bottle:
  • To his credit, he struck gold in the portal before the other players caught on. As much as we make fun of him, I do tip my cap for that. He mitigated his weakness (Recruiting and development) and found a huge opportunity in the portal.
  • He had a (for FSU) generational QB who was not only a playmaker, but was also very twitchy so he could mask not the greatest OL for FSU. BTW, elite QB's aren't everything, but they really do make the difference.
    • As an example, Dabo did a great job in multiple areas when he had his run, but the true difference maker was having 2 great QB's in a row, then a good QB, who he then replaced with the best QB he ever had (Sunshine). Then, although he's had two 5 star QB's in a row, neither of them panned out like the other QB's and low and behold, the game has "passed him by".
  • The Noles were so desperate to regain the Jameis "He actually is a rapist...that's real, BTW" Winston years, that when they had those two 10 win seasons, they thought they were entering a new golden age.
  • But, instead of a new golden age, it was all a giant hallucination. Jordan Travis and the timing of the Portal's emergence was the perfect storm, and now they truly are a damaged and destroyed program as a result.
  • I'm pretty sure the answer for FSU is not Manny, it's Deion. With his branding, recruiting prowess, history with the program, etc., he could bring them back sooner rather than later. His excitement could get their donors to put in new money. But, since they're caught in a cycle of mismanagement like we were in for years, they'll probably hire Manny... or hire Lane after the Tigah's fire him in 3 years.

Serious question: what does Norvell need to do to save his job outside of making it into the playoffs this year? Assuming a playoff run would save him, but he doesn't make it, how many games saves his job?

I think it depends on who's available to hire as HC. This past year had an unusually high number of mid-high level jobs get filled, so the amount of attractive HC candidates is definitely gonna be lower this year.

I think if he wins 8, assuming there's a lot of competition for only a few quality HC candidates, he probably keeps his job and they punt one more year and get that buy out down further. I think if he wins 7 or fewer, they take a swing at a coordinator from a major program or maybe Manny or Deion.

I know that the locked on fsu guy who also does recruiting and is sometimes on Donno's show said back late last year that he was told that norvell was safe not just this upcoming season but also the 2027 season barring something beyond catastrophic for the same financial reasons- which i assume means safe at 5-7+ catastrophic being in the 0-2 wins. not sure about 3 or 4 wins
