No, things are not as terrible in Tallahassee as the media is portraying… they’re much worse. On the field, there are players that are impressive wins for Florida State, but the high school recruiting is spiraling, the rest of the football world has figured out the transfer portal, and the majority of the coaching staff cannot develop.
Off the field, it may be worse. FSU leadership made the right call in firing Athletic Director Michael Alford, who couldn’t figure out how to play the NIL game (or refused). There’s bad hires everywhere and Mike Norvell is a defeated man who looks to have lost all confidence. FSU is much closer to the team that was sluggish against New Mexico State than the team that almost upset SMU. The Mustangs’ turnovers made that much closer than the score showed.
