Does FSU really go 1-5 this weekend? All signs point to yes.

[Ahooiam1]

Somebody may be unemployed after Saturday. I doubt they have much patience.

[BDragon]

I’m not sure the 'Noles can afford to fire Norvell. Looks like he is owed about $63 if they fire him at the end of the year.

I know money is different nowadays in football, but one of the issues FSU has suffered for year is their donor base is not as flush with cash as many of the other powerhouse programs.

[buzby]

I love that the SMU logo is a jpeg. You’d figure with all that oil money in the donor pool, they could afford one intern to convert their media collateral assets to png.

Happy Birthday @BDragon!

ESPN gameday crew will be in Berkeley for Miami at Cal. First time there, leaving only us, Cuse, SMU, Maryland, Rutgers and Illinois yet to ever host.

[BDragon]

Thank you sir, a year older, even better looking.

[4547Lambeth]

TIL that ex-UNC CB Tony Grimes is still playing in college at UNLV. I thought he’d been around a lot longer, but this is only his 5th year. Somehow he’s gotten worse every season.

[UVApride7]

We fretted so much over him and Zach Rice only for both of them to end up being massive busts.

[HoozGotNext]

Can you really fire a coach midseason after he went undefeated the year before though? And is this a conversation if not for last year’s QB injury and playoff snub?

[BDragon]

@HoozGotNext

Yes, it’s cut throat but feels like a football move.

@HoozGotNext

And is this a conversation if not for last year’s QB injury and playoff snub?

Love going down the rabbit hole on this “what if game” If Travis doesn’t get hurt last year Norvell likely pulls a Jimbo, hang on for another yr or two at FSU and parlay that into a big money gig.

Cal Twitter for the win

TIL former UVA DL coach Vic So’oto is the Cal OLB and STs coach

[UVApride7]

Wow Grayson McCall stretchered off the field for NCST. Scary.

[Sknyluv]

I guess SMU is legit. Nice.

[Sknyluv]

… and UNC is going to lose, at home, to Pitt. I think this seals Brown’s fate at UNC.

Do you fire him now to get a head start on recruiting/transfers or do you play out the rest of the season and hope for a bowl?

[BDragon]

Wait it out. There’s no real advantage in firing him now if you don’t have a replacement lined up. No recruit is going to be more motivated to commit to a team without a coach.

Yes SMU is becoming who manu thought they’d be.

[StLouHoo]

Make it a retirement tour and see if the team plays harder for him for it?

[UVApride7]

That’s what I was thinking. Go ahead and make the announcement that he’ll step down at the end of the season, allows them to start the process of finding his replacement now and also spins the end of his tenure into a positive.
