FSU made a huge mistake with this one.... The guy gave them an undefeated season. Then years later gets one bad season after the main quarterback goes out on the first game?
Yeah, what a mistake this is for FSU to nudge him out. Hope they are ready for a funding cut due to poor seasons ahead. O.o
Talk about racism! If FSU hires Sumlin it means FSU and Texas A&M spent a lot of money to swap coaches.
When a Florida college football power has a hot streak, it starts drawing recruits at the expense of its in state rivals. That puts rival coaches and programs under stress and can force major changes because administrators and ADs these days prefer to act before recruiting has collapsed and built in years of losing seasons.
Dan Mullen will do very well at Florida.
Jimbo is leaving a lot of crap behind him personally. We know Jimbo and there is so much more to this than football.
I think the divorce was the real driving force. If he (or his ex) had been happily married, he would’ve stayed at FSU darn near forever.
Yep, I was just noticing that Richt is now the Dean of Head Coaches in the State.
And he’s only been Miami Head Coach 2 years.
I'm sure FSU is sad to see him go!
Care to enlighten us?
If I were FSU, I would go after Kiffin. I know there are risks involved, but he’s got the biggest upside IMHO.
Tallahassee is awful. I dont know how College Station is, but Florida’s capital is a dump.
Kiffen won’t take a high paying job again for a while. If he does, his ex wife gets half. He’s staying at the bottom tier as a middle finger to her.
I can assure you we Clemson fans are. They might bring in a new head coach who could bring them back to their former glory. Heaven forbid any school do like we did and grow their own HC. By all means stick with hiring name brand has beens like most schools do.
Tallahassee has the highest crime rate in the state.
Mullen better be good after the last few HC’s at UF.
