Observations from Sideline (FSU)

The mercy rule will help.

Running clock from opening kickoff?

 

[UMFarArcher]

let the purge begin

what must be done eventually, should be done immediately

THIS!

I wish college football could have JV teams. I remember in HS, the upperclassman had a mutiny, us on the JV and freshman teams were hungry. Was like play us then! F them nuggas! My class turned our HS program around.

Hiring Gattis was a colossal mistake.

Can you imagine if we'd hired Dorsey and had the injuries and mental check outs that we've had? This place would have been claiming they knew he would be terrible because he'd never called plays before.

 

[GojiraCane]

If that's the case, then purge everyone who checked out. Even if it is 70 players. Go full SMU and start from scratch.

 

[OldhamA]

i sit a few rows directly behind the offense's bench, and concur with the OP. i can also state that Knighton went at Gattis a few times and had to be restrained. most of the players are mummies.

My money is on Gattis.

The mercy rule will help.

Use some of that NIL money that's not going to that Florida QB and pay the refs for a running clock for the rest of the season.

 

[Ghandi]

So we still suck

For now, yes.

What these kids on this team don't understand is that in the grand scheme, it looks worse on them.

For those that have NFL aspirations, this tape will pop up at their team/site visits (if they even get that far). This is a bad look for the next level.

For those that don't have NFL aspirations, you're letting a personal grudge affect you enjoying and maximizing a once in a lifetime experience in college. Mario will be paid his entire $80M. Some of these coaches also have their salaries for 2023 guaranteed.

 

[Ghandi]

Clemson doesn’t worry me with their offense. We may not have 50 yards against their defense though.

LOL!

How many times do you think Clemson will run the Counter against this checked out/undisciplined defense?

The whole thing is a shît show all the way around.

Yep. IF he’s showing frustration, etc., he still gives a ****.

That or it could just be Gattis’s extremely punchable face

 

[BS85]

I’m worried about the Clemson game… could be even uglier than the knock out punch delivered to golden

Oh God.....i forgot we're playing them. Fuuuuuck.

 

[TexasCane90]

Good… Florida definitely dropping bags to get kids in to visit and sway them

 

[NJshoreCane]

I mostly agree but he also wasn't able to make them care. I'm not sure if Mario doesn't have a deft enough touch or he just miscalculated, but I can see how his heavy-handed approach probably turned off the players Manny recruited, which has led to this mutiny.

He also didnt make them care.
If all you hear from his croots are "he keeps it real, he's honest, I believe in what he's doing, he's building something real" - then why can't the same apply to current players he sees everyday.

I'll preface by saying the obvious that Mario has done a bad job.
But man...making football players care about playing the game of football???
Make. Them. Care.

No matter how many times I say it or write it I find it incomprehensible that a coach should have to do this.
Just not in my DNA I guess.

 

[Brains]

Oh God.....i forgot we're playing them. Fuuuuuck.

We will burn clock. Keep it under 40.

 

[JG13]

What’s up with you and @JG14 - are you friends, enemies, are you related to each other like @Canedog and @Okefenokee Cane ???

No one knows lol except I'm pretty sure we both came from the RCT board. All in fun though.

 

[NJshoreCane]

Running clock from opening kickoff?

And take a delay penalty prior to kickoff?

 

[rsa coral gables]

My money is on Gattis.

no doubt gattis can take him, but i'm pretty sure gattis would have gotten mugged. he's a total pinga

 

[dirtyred786]

Hiring Gattis was a colossal mistake.

If Dorsey took the job we'd be having the same problem. He has to make a change at this point because this is a results based business, but Gattis will probably go elsewhere and be fine. And why has no one mentioned Ponce for the chopping block? None of the qbs know how to read a defense. Isn't that on him?
