Tears Nole Tears (“Offcial”)

Still, sources within the university contend that a $30 million roster should be enough to beat ACC schools spending far less. It is one thing to lose to Alabama or even Clemson. But losing to Georgia Tech, Boston College, Stanford, Pitt and NC State is different. Of its 17 ACC losses since the start of 2024, eight were by one score -- three on replay review and one when the ball took an awkward bounce off helmets on two separate punts and cost the Seminoles the game.

That begs the ultimate question: Does Florida State not have enough money to win, or was the money spent unwisely?

"We're putting in a lot of money into our roster," one university source said. "We're not Ohio State or Miami, but we are spending a lot of money, and the fact of the matter is there were decisions that were made that were not good."

Still, the administration hoped Norvell, who was well-liked and respected among university leaders, would win as the season opened. One influential Florida State booster said before the season opener against SMU, "Mike didn't forget how to coach."

Maybe not, but the losses started to build again, and fan frustration boiled over before the Clemson game. Before kickoff, a plane flew above Doak Campbell Stadium, with the (misspelled) message: "FSU: FIRE NOVELL." Florida State lost as a home favorite to fall to 3-5, playing the fourth quarter to a nearly empty stadium. McCullough called the loss a "defining moment" and the catalyst for his decision to fire Norvell.

"We're at the point now like, 'How can we afford not to do this?'" McCullough said Sunday during his news conference.

Manny makes too much sense. He’s won in the conference and has P4 experience all over his resume. Hes an alum so he understands their tradition and priorities. And he has a chip on his shoulder for their biggest rival. He brings Sheppard with him and finds a transfer QB and he instantly raises their floor. They won’t win a natty with Lispy, but it’s probably the best they can do at this point

Honestly not sure who can compete with us right now outside of select few. But they will be more competitive relatively speaking. I could see him doing pretty well immediately just due to injection of energy and then reality catching up

his contract runs through '31/'32... what do you think that buyout is?????
 
IMO Jimbo only happens if the highly sought after candidates with low buyouts (like ****ert and Eck) pass them over, particularly if one or two big jobs were to open (OU, Texas, and/or USC)

Every fanbase enduring a protracted period of suck will have a solid contingent nostalgic for the past enough to want to “bring back their ex”. We had it ourselves with the Bring Back Butch crew , and it has happened throughout modern college history. USC with John Robinson, Stanford with Bill Walsh, Pitt with Johnny Majors, in more recent times UL with Petrino, UNC with Mack Brown. There’s others. The really successful one was Anyder at KSU but most of the time it fails for a reason.

Hopefully they’re broke and undesirable enough that it happens.
