When I read Sumlin and Weiss. I involuntarily chuckled...They're getting the guy that actually got Charlie Weis another HC job. Sounds good from where I’m sitting.

Florida State plans to hire its next coach quickly
Florida State is without a permanent head coach after firing Willie Taggart on Sunday, but the program does not plan to remain in this state of limbo for long.footballscoop.com
Responsible for Sumlin to Arizona, Gary Anderson to Utah State, and Charlie Weiss to Kansas...
They’re already off to a better start than Blake. Let’s see who they get.
I get the timing. But Blake said they were going to do a National Search... and they didn’t do anything of the sort.Florida State's search started on Sunday November 3rd when they fired Taggart; something they've known they were going to do for a while—just a matter of when.
Mark Richt retired on Sunday December 30th; completely blindsiding everybody barely 24 hours after a 35-3 bowl loss.
Completely different ballgame. You can actually conduct a search when you fire you head coach with four games remaining in a season.
Richt bailed out end of year, going into a dead week—meaning no one was going to talk about anything until Monday January 7th—less than one month before NSD.
I you can't see a difference between the circumstances, don't know what to tell. Time wasn't on Miami's side post-Richt—whereas Florida State wants a new coach before the season ends; which is still two full months before NSD and will potentially save their recruiting class. Night and day.

Manny was in Philadelphia...that's national.I get the timing. But Blake said they were going to do a National Search... and they didn’t do anything of the sort.
Like ours brought us Clappy and Radio.... LOL. We should make them pay the buyouts!
My FSU source at work informed me that the coaching search has yielded truly remarkable and out of the box results. Florida State intends to use an advanced algorithmic coaching program that they have dubbed Warhorse. This AI will simultaneously handle head coaching and both coordinator positions, and is modeled on the attributes of Urban Meyer, Bobby Bowden, and Nick Saban. Warhorse will interact with players and staff via a wheeled cybernetic figure. This move also saves FSU millions in salary, with the only cost being development and maintenance:
This is confirmed. Players and FSU IT have been notified.
Chuck Neinas still around?
