Stubbs didn’t fix anything next year. Sucks for the future, sure.

I’m very worried about fixing it in 2025 and immediate contributors
patterson and day have talent. Isiah Thomas is a legit safety if healthy. We need someone in the portal and a DC who can coach.

I have seen enough from Pruitt,Quan, OJ, Popo, Scott, etc to know we have talent, its a coaching issue.
 
we lost who? some low 4 star S? How many of those have we landed the last 20 years that have become busts? more than 50% for **** sure. Take the NIL savings and spend it on a proven guy for 2025

7's not leaving the starting lineup that easy
 
Miami seemingly is the only team that can win 10 games and somehow its viewed as a negative for recruiting. All we've ever heard is that players wanted to see Miami win. Well, they have, but the narrative after yesterday is still uncertainty

UF is a bad team, and now they actually have funds to spend. Napier has been abysmal, yet UF is viewed as trending up

Lets see Lagway take the next step but lets not act like hes the reason recruits are now looking there.

They upped their NIL game. Thats all this is

I'm sure they did but WRT us I think it's more than that. Seems like we're losing defensive commits more than offensive guys. We picked up the Lowe kid but I assume thats the HOFer Jason Taylor effect.

We're gonna make changes on the defensive coaching staff, but the product was beyond awful. Also we signed a ton of top flight defensive players over the last couple of years, especially last year. I don't think it's far fetched to think that other coaches are saying, "their defense historically sucked why would you want to play there? They're gonna fire all their defensive coaches. They signed all these defensive studs last couple of years and kept playing the trash bum upperclassmen instead."

But if you focus too much on '25 and neglect future talent you turn into '24 FSU....

Try top 50-100 player and top 5 saftey in the coutry.

The way you get less busts at that position is just by recruiting over them and not having to play guys like 7 in the starting lineup. Stubbs won't hurt next year, but will in the years after where he's needed for depth

I never think its that. I honestly don't think these recruits and their handlers are that sophisticated

This is simply UF now having money and promoting a 7-5 season against a tough schedule with a freshman QB as a huge success

Its all $$$

How many hard lessons does Mario have to learn until he realizes coaching matters, and hiring Coordinators that give you an advantage HAS to be a
I have been folliowing

We are totally stacked other then Quarterback next year. We havent this much depth on our team since 2001 . FSU was totally built on cards . Its alot different.
 
Can't lose Pringle to UF

Stubbs stings as does Nix but we still need an influx of speed at RB
 
Focus on 25 which means focus on the portal. HS recruiting won’t mean **** if the wheels fall off next year.

According to @Dwinstitles, (not an attack on Dwins), wins and losses don’t drive this, recruiting ability and bags do. I don’t know, I think after three seasons, performance on the field including development, matters but money also matters. In fact, I believe money matters more than being a traditionally “great recruiter”. In todays day and age, give me a lot of NIL money and coaches who can identify and develop.
yup $$$$$
 
if we lose all our important kids and dont land more top recruits, good luck Mario u aint winning or anyone else
 
honestly, I think Stubbs is a money move. I think nix legit has concerns about the defense. its like why would you come here when you see popo sideline to sideline and Pruitt make plays and this slow footed, not tackling mess name Kiko getting all the reps. Teams pick him apart and he lives and dies with him.
This is why Mario has to tell the kids he’s firing LG. LG obviously prioritizes the guys he thinks should start over everything else. Ego got the better of him and we can do better. MC needs a big time DC here if kids are going to take us seriously.
