Is Norvell ONE LOSS Away From Being FIRED?! What Is FSU's Administration Doing?! · FSU Football: Doak Talk

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Hey, Noel Nation, it's C.J. Wilson here with Dope Talk.
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: FSU is in the midst of a bye week.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Just wanted to drop some information on you guys and
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: talk about a few things. I think it's a clear
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: message from the administration as far as how they feel
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: about the, I guess you could say the head coaching
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: status or the head coaching job or just the overall
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: thoughts on the program from their perspective. I feel like
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: it's a clear message from the administration, just what they've
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: been putting out in recent. Bruce Fillman of Athletic put
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: out an article regarding Mike Norvell's status based upon what
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: he's hearing in the industry and sources and things like that.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: So just kind of putting two and two together. He
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: has a FSU source on these things. Bruce is a
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: pretty reliable guy when it comes to this type of
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: coaching information when it comes to the industry.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: I'm going to get into the direct quote in a second.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Before we get started, make sure you guys hit that
• 0:51

• 1:01
  Speaker 2: hit that like and subscribe button. We cover everything regarding
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: FSU football. All right, so in the quote, it was
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: a direct statement that was in quotations in regards to,
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: I guess, the job Norvell has been doing and that
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: type of deal. And this is what I, this is the,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: I guess you could say the important part of the
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: quote that kind of caught my attention. They know they
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: need to put, and this is the quote, they know
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: they need to put more into the program.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: They are playing better. playing better.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: He just can't seem to catch a break. What do
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: you mean by playing better? This is the part of...
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: This is the stuff that frustrates me with the state
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: of the program. You hear Norville always talk about the standard,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: the standard third, the standard is the standard, all that
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: type of deal. Former players, just whoever. Anybody who's been
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: a part of who's seen FSU football at its peak
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: knows what the standard is. The standard isn't playing better.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Like who cares about quote unquote playing better?
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: It's one or two results.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, you either win or you lose. There's no
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: in between. We get no consolation prizes and things like that.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: You get no cookie for time. You get no cookie
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: for playing games close or whatever it may be.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Like what do we.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Mean by playing better? Just because we played a rival
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: game close, that's typically played close. We're in the overtime
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: against Miami, who's the number one team in the AP
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: right now, that's playing better?
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, did we forget what happened the previous week
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: at Louisville?
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: The Cardinals went on a 44-6 run to close that
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: game out, but we're playing better. Mike Norvell is 10-21
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: in his last three years, including this year. So 2024, 2025,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: and the midway point of 2026, He is 10 and
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: 21 during that time frame. 10 and 21. We need
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: to put more to the program. How much do you
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: think FSU spend? Like, I don't understand that. Like, how
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: much do you think FSU spends on an annual basis
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: to that roster?
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Like, yes, we don't. Yes.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Granted, FSU don't spend enough or doesn't compete nationally with
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: the few schools, Ohio State, LSU, Miami, Texas, et cetera.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Those guys on a national scale when it comes to
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: compete for national championships, right? FSU doesn't spend that money.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: FSU spends more than Duke. FSU spends way more than Duke,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: who won the ACC championship last year. FSU spends way
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: more than Wake Forest as well, too. Way more than
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Wake Forest. Wake Forest is currently 6-1. FSU spends more
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: than Louisville. FSU spends more than SMU when it comes
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: to NIH. Yes, we spend more than, I know it's
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: kind of shocking, We spend more than Louisville and SMU,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: who both beat us this year. Lost to Stanford last year.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Stanford don't spend more money than us. It's only one
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: ACC team that spends more money than FSU on a,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: I guess you could say, an annual NIL basis, and
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: that's Miami. And yet we are in the bottom of
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: the conference in rankings. The math isn't mathing, man. So
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: what do you mean by, I just want to break
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: those two codes down. We need to put more money
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: into the program.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Say, for instance, you do put more money into the program, right?
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Where's the money going? Where's it going? You still have
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: to have someone responsible for the money and allocate those
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: funds in a certain area that's beneficial to the program,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: not detrimental to the program. Was it the administration's And
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Ashton Daniels has been playing great. I don't want to
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: come off as a shot to him because he has
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: been playing great within these last few weeks.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: One of the better quarterbacks within the ACC. So I
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: don't want to take this as a shot at Ashton
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Daniels because I guess in the grand scheme, it looks
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: like a pretty good deal. But when you give someone
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: more money financially, then you bring a few quarterbacks in
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: on official visits. When it comes to the negotiation part,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I remind you, these quarterbacks had FSU first as far
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: as their official visit list in the portal. So they
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: really wanted to come to FSU.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: They feel like that could be their next destination in
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: and out. Quarterbacks usually don't really go through these long
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: charades and that type of deal, right? So we had
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: two quarterbacks on campus that took their first official visit
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: to FSU. Then when it came to negotiation times, we
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: kind of low-balled them, right? And then you give a
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: running back who, hell, he has to be a starter
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: now in Trey Wiles due to the two catastrophic injuries.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: You had Sam Singleton and Usman Kroma. But you give
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: a running back, from Texas who, granted, wasn't a starter
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: from Texas last year, but the year before he was
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: at 1,000 yards in Texas. You give him a hefty
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: bag out of the transfer portal when that bag shouldn't
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: have really been warranted when you had sturdy running backs
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: on the roster. Now, in hindsight, we had to– well,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: we didn't have to spend that much money, but we
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: had to bring in a running back for sure. That
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: money could have been allocated more to the quarterback position,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: more to the offensive line position, whatever it may be.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: And then you get held hostage annually by– players from
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: the previous years. Both the Desir twins held you hostage
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: when it came to more NIL dollars having performed to
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: the money they're getting.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Jabril Rawls, another guy.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: That flirted with going into the transfer portal, got a
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: healthy NIL back from FSU, having played up to the
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: standard as far as the performance has been worse this
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: year than it was last year.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, we need to put more money into the program.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: I do believe that, but for the right coach.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: I don't believe giving more, throwing more money at this
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: program is not fixing the issue, especially when you have
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: people who have money in certain situations that don't know
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: how to allocate the money to the correct spots.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: So what is that going to do?
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: And going back to the catch a break part, like
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: I was stating, it's 10 and 21. We the fans
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: can't catch a damn break. He's 10 and 21 in
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: the last three years. Like what break are we talking about?
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: What break are we talking about? You struggle with New
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Mexico State the first game. Like, what break are we
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: talking about? Are we talking about how Miami ended? That's
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: like a small sample size than the last. That's one
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: game out of 31 that you can say, quote, unquote,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: he couldn't catch a break.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: I'm fine with that.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: But to use that as the totality since the 23 season,
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: we're in year seven. This is year seven. And granted,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: we're not finished with year seven, but we're three and
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: four under 500 right now in year seven. Say you
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: X out the three and seven. I'm sorry, the three
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: and four, my apology. We're three and four right now,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: not three and seven.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Three and four.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Say you X out this year as far as the
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: last three years. Three and four, we X out this year.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: That doesn't take away from the previous years. You go
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: two and ten, five and seven, this, that, and the third.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: What breaker are we talking about? What breaker are we
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: talking about? I really believe the worst possible situation happened
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: to us against the Miami Hurricanes. When I say the
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: worst possible situation, that's, of course, losing to the Canes.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: You never want to lose to them. But playing Miami close,
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: leaving a certain few plays that FSU had within that
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: game up for discussion. Of course, the Phantom Hold'em call,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: the back-to-back, the very next play, the Hail Mary catch
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: by Deuce, both of those were touchdowns. So it leaves
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: you the wiggle room like, oh, hey, They play those
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: guys close, but if you go this route of war,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: if the ref does this or doesn't make that call,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: you never know. You leave that gray area. No one
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: has more lives than Mike Norvell. He truly has nine lives.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: It's crazy. But to say.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: You can't catch a break or to use the Miami
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: game as an excuse to give more time is just
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: crazy to me. What more do you need to see
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: from this tenure to know that It just isn't what
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: it is as far as getting FSU back or being
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: the right fit for FSU. The administration seems to be incompetent.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Don't give a damn, excuse me, to be quite honest.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: You have more of a sample size within these last
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: six of what Mike Norvell is. We know what a
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: sample size is. We're not beating Miami. Even if we
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: would have won against Miami last week, what is that
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: telling you? What does that tell you? He's the right
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: guy for the job? Clearly, we know that isn't the case.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: So what exactly is that telling you? We've seen this
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: before as well, too, from FSU. Playing close against Miami
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: or possibly even beating Miami last week wouldn't have been
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: a surprise to me. FSU is too inconsistent as a team,
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: and that's the frustrating part. It's way too inconsistent as
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: a team. That is the frustrating part. Play well against Miami.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: Play well in other aspects of the season. And I
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: feel like there's more reason to move on. That's just
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: the inconsistency, the up and down pendulum swing of FSU.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: It's just way too inconsistent. That's something we've been having
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: an issue with since Mike Norvell quite frankly has been
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: the head coach.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: You go to.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Devil overtime against Miami, who's one of the most talented
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: teams in the country. You boat race Alabama for close
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: to a half, and then you clearly just throw that
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: out the window and all hell breaks loose against Alabama.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: You struggle against New Mexico State.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: You go from almost making Louisville quit in that game,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: going on 21-0, to getting embarrassed by Louisville, the 44-6 run. Hell,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: going back to 2021, you lose to an FCS team
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: in Jacksonville State. The first time in program history. you
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: lose to FCS school in Jacksonville State, that same year
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: you beat Miami. Like it's too many highs and lows.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: There's no consistency within the program. If you want to win,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: I guess aside from 22 and 23, which is clearly
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: blinding a lot of people and protecting Mike Norvell, but
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: that's another conversation for a different day.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: But again, this is what he's been like.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: We, you don't, that's not a, indication of good leadership
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: or good coaching, in my opinion, because you can't get
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: these guys to play up to their potential on a
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: week-to-week basis. Yes, it's easy to give for a few
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: games and play good in certain areas, but then you
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: play great in certain games, you maybe question everything else
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: in other games.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Like you dominate Virginia.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: We've seen this team can be good. I've been on record,
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: I believe this is an eight- to nine-win team from
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: a roster standpoint, but there's something in between the lines
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: that's blocking this team from reaching its full potential, in my.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Opinion, that starts from the top down, and it starts
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: with the head coach.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's a stale message that we've been receiving since 2020,
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: whatever it is, we're just too inconsistent as a program,
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: and it's literally been inconsistent since the time Mike Norvell
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: had stepped on campus. Going back to 2020, even though
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: I think 2020 was a fluke year, a bullshit year,
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: especially for Mike Norvell, I really don't count that against him.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Brand new head coach into a Terrible situation at Florida
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: State at that point in time. The COVID hit. Sniper
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: didn't recruit. All that type of deal. But you go
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: back to 2020, we beat a top five team in
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: North Carolina. You know, you get boat raced against whoever
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: the rest of that year. I think we played Notre
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: Dame in 2020 or something along the way. I'm going
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: to look at the schedule real quick. The 2020 FSU schedule.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: When no one gave you a chance against, and that
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: team was, well, nobody gave you a chance against Notre
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Dame against North Carolina, who was a top five team
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: during that point in time.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: You lose 52-10 against Miami. 42-26 against Notre Dame. 48-16
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: against Louisville. We got boat raced in that 2020 year.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: But then again, you go to a.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Play a top-five team with North Carolina, Sam Howell and
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: all that type of deal, and you beat those guys.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: So since the beginning of Mike Novell's tenure, we've been
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: way too inconsistent, and that's an issue, in my opinion.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: It just shows that he's not the guy for the
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: job because you're a good coach and elite coach.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying elite coach.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: A good coach for a P5 program at FSU has
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: to get those guys to play the same way they
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: play against New Mexico State.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: They play against Miami. The same way they play against Miami,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: they play against Louisville. If you look at the body-bound 90s,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: the Jim O.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: Fisher good years and things like that, we killed the
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: fly with a sledgehammer. We dominated those opponents who were consistent.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: And that's the thing, man. That's holding FSU back, in
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: my opinion. So, yeah, you can say you're going to
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: throw more money at this, that, and the third, but
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: at the same time, the teams we're losing to, we
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: spend way more money than in the first place. But
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: at the same time, I do actually feel bad for
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Mike Novell. He has to sit up and have the
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: same one outlook in these press conferences being asked every
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: week about his job status.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Pretty much he's being held hostage by FSU in my opinion.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: He showed multiple times he isn't fit for the job,
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: and yet they're keeping him in power. It's not on
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Mike Norvell at this point in time. He showed us
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: who he is. He showed us this job is too
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: big for him. It's on the employer now to recognize
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: that and make a move on that. So I'm not
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: placing blame on Norvell at all anymore. My frustration is
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: directly with FSU's administration, the team, the guys that's continually
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: putting an unfit person in power to run a program.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: That's the issue. Keeping him from this year to next
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: year isn't a huge loss in ways financially. In comparison
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: to what you will lose from the fan base that
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: has checked out going into another offseason of lackluster recruiting,
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: like right in the 40s or some shit in fucking recruiting.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Like, this is Florida. What are we doing? This is
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Florida State. What are we even talking about?
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: You're literally in the 30s, 40s, whatever it is in recruiting.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: There's no momentum there. You're not going to have any
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: momentum on the transfer portal trail. Now you say you're
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: going to pour more money into the program. You've got
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: to pay a sub-tax. A sub-tax. You've got to pay
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: these players extra money to come to your program because
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: the program is so damn sorry.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Good players, right? Florida State, quote-unquote, caliber players.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Even though it's not the actual Florida State caliber players,
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: it's Mike Norvell's Florida State caliber players. But to that point,
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: you got to play Mike Norvell's caliber Florida State players,
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: a subtext in the transfer portal, because FSU isn't good.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: They go to other programs where they can be coached
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: up and be competent in that type of deal. So
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: you're spending more money in that end. Fans aren't going
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: to be packing out Doe Camel Stadium. The worst job
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: in America right now is to be a season ticket
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: sales rep for Florida State. You got to call these
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: people trying to convince them to renew and come to
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: the games next year after three years of lackluster.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Performances and things of that nature. I think ticket sales
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: will plummet.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Try to put a ban on the situation, quote-unquote, by what,
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: firing Tony White, which is going to be wasting more money,
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: paying him a buyout, bringing in a new defense coordinator,
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: bringing in some guys for the new coordinator staff. I mean, granted,
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: the defense is completely trash. Offense is straight. But again,
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: he's a reflection of Mike Norvell. Mike Norvell hired the guy.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: So start from the top down, in my opinion. We'll
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: see how things play out within the next few weeks,
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: but wins won't be an indicator of change, in my opinion.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: We can win out the rest of this year.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: The rest of this year, we can win out, and
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: it won't be an indication that Norvell's the right guy
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: for the job or FSU is on the turning point.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: And the reason I say it is, look at Clemson.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: We have Clemson this upcoming week. Clemson clearly isn't the
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: same Clemson. Terrible offense. Don't have the guys at quarterback, receiver,
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: and that type of deal. Pittsburgh, who's like 5-1 right now,
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: who's off to a hot start, has lost their starting quarterback,
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: one of the best quarterbacks in the ACC in Mason Hynchell.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: Lost to Boston College last week as a result of that.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: So Pittsburgh clearly isn't the same. So that's two of
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: the five games. I'm just going to put the rest
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: of the schedule. Those are some of the highlight games. And,
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: of course, Florida, but you never know what kind of
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Florida team you'll get. So I say all that to
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: say this. If he does, we're not going to lose
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: one game, whatever it may be. Is that really– given
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: a true indication that the program is back on uptake.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: You can look at who you're playing in their situation
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: within their programs. But again, FSU fans, you have the
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: right to be upset. You have the right to be
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: voicing your opinion about your frustration. Don't ever feel like,
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: and you guys know me, especially from Twitter and that
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: type of deal, I'm an even-keeled kind of guy.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: I don't really indulge in that type of stuff. I mean,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: enough is enough. Goddamn.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: We got to see the light and move on. We
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: preach standard, but the turnaround... We preach standard in that
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: type of deal, but they turn around and slap you
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: in the face because we're clearly not practicing what we
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: preach in certain areas as far as carrying the standard
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: at Florida State.
