Um, yeah. The whole point of my original post was that a good QB and a good coach is enough to get them back to respectable. Not a championship team - respectable.

We'll see what Diaz does this year without a Mensah there.

I understand.

I'd also point out that the Jordan Travis team had a pretty solid cast of Portal guys, something that is sorely missing now.

I just think F$U is farther away than they think. Now, if they replaced the head coach, and recruits granted him a couple years of credibility and grace, that could be something very different.

I see:

Castellanos in their OT loss vs. UVA - 56% completion, 1 TD/2 INT. . Against Stanford, 50% completion, no passing TDs. He played well at Pitt but only 250 yards of offense, and had a bad fumble.

They win at least two of those easily with a Jordan Travis at QB play and probably all three.

Sheesh. You're defending the Noles in a Noles Tears thread. Have some awareness, huh?

FSU is a 3 year rebuild to be a CFP caliber team. A good coach and decent portal haul gets them to 7-8 wins year 1 without a problem. The rest is tougher though.

Their biggest issue is that they don’t have the $$$ to compete right now. They made multiple bad bets on how to use their resources. One big reason why they’re so desperate to get their hospital system going (other than it being needed for AAU) is that they need a new stream of revenue to pull from.

I am glad they doubled down on Norvell and did not make a move for James Franklin. He will be a PITA at VT, but he would have set a pretty high floor at FSU recruiting-wise.

6-7 year 1 at Vandy when they were arguably the worst P4 program then 9 wins back to back years.

7 seasons with 9 or more wins at Pedo State.

He’s absolutely better than “average at best”.

College football coaching starts and ends with talent acquisition. Frankin is a very good recruiter. He’d have been a great hire at fsu. Be thankful they’re too dumb to realize it.

He’s mid what has he won ? When’s the last time he beat Ohio state . Lost to Michigan the last 3 years . Oregon both times . He plays a few good teams every year loses and beats bad teams the rest of the year . So you believes he’s bringing Vt back ?

You all are drunk. With a good QB, they beat UVA, Pitt, and Stanford, and they're an 8 win team.

🧢 disagree their Oline has been trash for years and defense is trash with no depth. No LBers with talent and no elite dlineman… they would’ve found ways to lose multiple winnable games regardless.

Can anyone remind me of what the bet was that the FSU fan lost and was supposed to eat **** but faked it and jinxed them?

At the start of the 2024 season, after they lost in Dublin to open the year against Georgia Tech, one of their fans went on social media and said if they lost the following game, which was the home opener on Labor Day night to Boston College, he'd eat dog **** out of a cup and video it.

Obviously that got some attention, and then went nuclear once they lost the game, which wasn't even very competitive. So everyone went after the guy demanding he pay his bet and eat the ****. Which, of course, he never did and deleted all his accounts. So everyone said he cursed the entire season by reneging on his bet.

And they've been open *** ever since, going 7-17 the last 2 seasons. And in case you're scoring at home, the last time Miami won 7 or fewer in combined seasons was 1976-1977, when we combined to go 6-16.

So, FSU is worse than Miami has been in 50 years. Hate to see it. Buddy better slurp up that dog**** ASAP.

This is all incredibly subjective.

I’m not sure I’d blame the quarterback in a 46-38 game. Especially when the quarterback added 75 yards rushing and a rushing touchdown.

Pitt was literally his best passing performance of the season against FBS opponents. They lost 34-31. Not sure how the quarterback gets the blame for that one.

Castellanos had more passing yards than Jordan Travis did in 2023 on fewer attempts. He also outgained him on the ground 557-176. With a much weaker supporting cast. He did throw 6 more interceptions but is that extra half an interception per game the difference between 13-0 and 5-7? Ca

2025 FSU might be 6-6 with Jordan Travis. Their talent levels from 2022/23 to 2025 aren’t even comparable.
