Admit 350 more out of state students or 1000 more in state students, and set aside those students’ tuition, and use that money to pay the buyout . That’s how absurdly expensive college is.

The 50,000,000 buyout seems like a lot of money to get rid of the worst coach in the ACC until you do the math. FSU could admit 350 out of state students or about 1000 more in state students, and 4 years of tuition would pay it off. Think about that.

These hot names in coaching are almost always wrong. The list goes on and on. No coach, and I mean nobody, is worth 10 million per year.

It’s crazy, but 2 years ago Mike Norvell got a contract extension, partly because Alabama might hire him. A month ago, most Alabama fans wanted their coach fired and everyone thought FSU was back. 4 years ago many thought James Franklin would have been the best FSU hire, Dabo was best in ACC…

You’re probably right, but James Franklin is probably one of the top 20 coaches in America right now. Doubtful they can hire a coach that is better than the one they just fired. The only time it makes sense to fire someone mid season is complete incompetence or serious malfeasance.

Cignetti would never consider leaving Indiana mid season. It’s possible that his agent could have told PSU that he’d be interested, but even he would probably rather have Franklin stay until the end of the season in order to hold the recruits together. Franklin is an excellent recruiter. Seems weird

The only way firing James Franklin mid season makes any sense is if PSU has a handshake deal with Nick Saban. I doubt that’s the case. Every other top coaching candidate already has a job and would never leave their job mid season.

Game day should be in Provo this weekend

Probably makes more sense to pay for a bunch of really good players, and to hire a better defensive coordinator.

Overall: 36-30 (20-23)

That’s Mike Norvell’s record so far. It will cost over 55 million to fire him in December, plus whatever #FSU would have to pay a new coach.

I could see FSU giving Jimbo Fisher a “prove it” deal. Big money up front, but a short contract. I could also see the Noles promoting Gus Malzon as interim coach with a chance to become head coach if he can recruit and beat UF. I’m sure that they call Saban’s agent, but I doubt Nick takes the call.

Should FSU see if Jimbo wants to give it another shot?

It’s just really hard to fathom how bad FSU has become. I have no idea who should replace Mike Norvell, but I know he should be replaced. It’s really sad, but unless he wins out this season, which he won’t, the Noles will need to hire someone new. #FSU

Is there another winnable game on FSUs schedule? What an embarrassment. Mike Norvell needs to go. This is pathetic.

What explanation is there for just how bad FSU’s defense is playing?
headshrunk.bsky.social
Was that underhanded?!? #FSU 21-14! Awesome drive after the big interception. Hope Deuce is okay
