Kaaya already working on next year's class

Guys you have to realize Olsen is Fisch's QB and Kaaya is Coley's... Coley is here and he wants to have his guys run his offense... just think about that... and I'm sure he will have plays like Rosier.

With all due respect to Coley, he has not solidified himself as a good QB coach.

Morris regressed under his watch.

Jimbo just produced a Heisman winner at the QB spot.

The verdict is out on Coley regarding his ability to coach up QBs.

With that said, it is extremely premature to assume Kaaya will beat out Olsen.

Coley produced two first round QBs while he was at FSU.
 
Man I love this guy. I don't want to root against the other QBs on our roster (especially young Olsen) but I hope Brad wins the job in 2015. I swear he just gets it and epitomizes everything you want in a QB, a leader and face of your program.

Coley likes to win....he will play that guy that will give him the best shot at that. Plus, HC has the final say of who plays. I'm sure big Al will have some input on the QB race.
 
Don't sleep on Olsen he might be immature but he won't be the last young QB to do so. The Gators was literally one labtop away from a NC
 
Love some of the posts. Downright comical!

2014 is all about Williams and to see if Olsen has enough to beat him out. Kaaya will not be startng unless some devastating injuries hit us so lets just temper the Kaaya is the savior comments and save for a year from now when Olsen and Kaaya will compete for the starting job.
 
On a per capita basis NJ has more players in the NFL than california. IMO, the states are very comparable on a per capita basis. Both probably toward the bottom of a top 10 list. Florida, texas, Georgia, LA, Alabama, Ohio and a few other southern states would be ahead of both.

If I'm Kevin Olsen I'm thinking I better contribute in a huge way this season because ain't nobody pulling for you over Kaaya (right or wrong) going into 2015 if you're irrelevant in 2014.

So if fans aren't pulling for him in '15 that means he won't win the starting position? I didn't know fans chose the starting QB.

No, but we should. We should evaluate the recruits, call the plays, and pick our schemes.

At the same time you have to remember Ponder was in a very bad qb class so many coaches couldve gotten credit for him. Manuel was always look at as a kid who was never reached his highest potential and almost was a liability at times if we really want to look back a few years ago. Physically gifted as **** and a good leader but was always missing something so Jimbo produced them but it isnt exactly like saying he's a guru

No.

Corley coached TEs at FSU and Fisher coached QBs.

Here is James Coley Bio from FSU

Coley worked mostly with TE's whie Jimbo handled the QB coaching and play calling during the game. This is why morris regressed during the season after his injury. Coley most likely didn't have the technical skills to correct Morris's short comings. Is Coley a helluva recruiter in s. Fla yes. Can he deliver the talent for UM we will see this year. I think Coley also needs to spend alot of time visiting NFL and College QB coaching clinics to improve his technical skills. He should go send sometime at Duke, and Jacksonville with Fisch, and even spend sometime with Ken Dorsey because Dorsey has improved Cam Newton's passing significantly.

Family: wife, Kenia Coley; daughter, Madison; son, Brady

Coaching Background

• James Coley is in his fifth season at Florida State - third as the offensive coordinator and fifth as tight ends coach.

• Entering now his eighth season at the collegiate level, Coley is heavily involved in game-planning and provides invaluable game-day assistance down to the sideline from the press box. Florida State ranked third in both scoring offense (30.6 points per game) and passing offense (257.0 yards per game) in the Atlantic Coast Conference in 2011.

• In 2010, FSU was the fourth-best scoring offense in the ACC averaging 31.4 points per games and ranked fourth in rushing offense with 171.4 yards per game. FSU ran for more than 200 yards five times as a team including a 298-yard performance against in-state rival Miami which capped off a string of four consecutive 200-yard rushing games - BYU (278), Wake Forest (201), Virginia (256) and Miami (298). FSU ran for 218 yards in the Chick-fil-A bowl win over SEC East Champion South Carolina. FSU also led the league in third down conversions (47.6 percent).

• Coley's work on the field has been instrumental in bringing the tight end position back to a place of prominence for the Seminoles. In 2011, freshman Nick O'Leary, the nation's top tight end coming out high school, finished as FSU's eighth leading receiver and was one of nine players to average more than 10 yards per catch. Florida State's tight ends combined for more than 200 yards receiving in 2010. In 2009, tight ends Caz Piurowski and Beau Reliford combined for 24 receptions, 283 yards and four TDs. The four TDs were the most for the `Noles from the tight end position since 1994.

• As the recruiting coordinator at Florida State in 2008 and 2009, Coley was instrumental in the Seminoles landing back-to-back Top 10 signing classes, which have helped re-stock FSU's talent pool. He was the named the top recruiter in the ACC in 2010 by ESPN.com. Coley's boundless energy on the recruiting trail earned him a huge fan following on his @CoachColey twitter account.

• Coley was the offensive coordinator at Florida International in 2007 and spent six seasons in the Miami high school ranks, including a three-year run as offensive coordinator at Norland, which won a state title. A two-year offensive graduate assistant at LSU, where he worked alongside coordinator Jimbo Fisher, was followed by two seasons on the offensive staff with the Miami Dolphins under Nick Saban.



• Prior to arriving at FSU, Coley spent one season as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at FIU. The Miami native completely overhauled the Golden Panthers offense and established new standards for rushing yardage, as the unit doubled its production over the second half of the season.

• In two seasons as an offensive assistant with Saban's Miami Dolphins, Coley had an opportunity to work with running backs Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown (`05) when they boasted the NFL's seventh-rated rushing attack. In 2006 he worked with the receivers, Including All-Pro Chris Chambers and Wes Welker, and was responsible for breaking down opposing defenses and self-scouting as the quality control coach.

• Coley's first foray into the college game came as a graduate assistant at LSU on offensive coordinator Jimbo Fisher's staff in 2003 and 2004. The Tigers won the 2003 SEC Title and National Championship and played in the 2004 Capital One Bowl.

• Coley initially crossed paths with Fisher while coaching high school football in Miami from 1997-2002. His first job was as the quarterbacks coach at Miami Senior, where he spent three seasons and worked with current NFL standouts Andre Johnson andRoscoe Parrish.

• He moved to Norland in 2000 as assistant head coach/offensive coordinator and coached several players who had outstanding collegiate careers, including Dwayne Bowe (LSU), Kareem Brown (Miami), Alexander Bostic III (FIU) and Antwan Barnes (FIU) during a three-year run which culminated with the school winning the 6A state title in 2002.

• After graduating from Florida State in `97, Coley received his master's degree in kinesiology from LSU in 2004.
