In all honesty I iust dont think Novell is a good HC, with the talent he's got at FSU right now, FSU should be among the elite in college football with the momentum they had after beating us..

I read his quote and hear.....parity parity parity and the team that executes best wins....and we haven't executed.

So, blaming the players instead of saying, hey, we didnt have them prepared.....because we put all our eggs into the beating Bama basket. Didnt really have a plan after that.

Makes the top of this list.

 
Sure there's more parity but there's still a few teams with no losses and quite a few with just 1 loss. The ACC is far from being the toughest conference. If his players have already failed to play their best 4 times he needs to take some blame for that.

Exactly my friend & agree a million percent..

What's baffling too me is they've got a pretty good & experienced coaching staff, butttt, they simply look unprepared as a team..

That tells me all i need too know Novell & his approach too leading a major college football program like FSU..

If you can't win at FSU with the state talent at hand..

You're in the wrong buisness & FSU has the wrong HC leading them..JMO

Ironically, CKD realized this and adjusted - the players weren't ready to battle and he made the adjustments.

I remember DeBoer's press conference right after that FSU loss. The man looked lost. He looked dumbfounded.

There was a shift in his approach somewhere in the next few weeks, not sure if he shifted first or the players did and brought him along. But its good to see. Now we'll see how focused he can have them for an unranked opponent....on the road.....this is the Oklahoma game from last year.

This time, I have a feeling things will be vastly different.

As for Norvell....he'll wind up coaching some team in the MAC or the Sun Belt or CUSA.
