The coaching search is going to be a circus with our fans. Most people haven’t figured out it’s much different than 10-20 years ago. There are no home run hires. You don’t need a sexy name. Too many people are stuck on that and are going to create division when someone is hired..
This guy is under some kind of delusion that the ACC schools are required to say “how high” when the B1G and SEC say “jump”
This seams more anecdotal than anything else. Dickert has been really good at team building which is why I want him at FSU. But the point Andy is responding to is valid. It’s an unsustainable model.
Daniels has been better than I expected. And certainly better than some national FSU voices told us. But he has still shown limitations getting the ball out on time. Mike Norvell has schemed it well and been a good OC this year. The problem is he’s the Head Coach not OC.
Want to talk QB production vs. NIL money?
Unofficial estimates/rumors:
Ashton Daniels ($1.1M): 23 TDs — $47.8K/TD
Darian Mensah ($8M): 20 TDs — $400K/TD
Arch Manning ($6.32M): 11 TDs — $574.5K/TD
Norvell is getting points for pennies on the dollar in the NIL era but let's keep ignoring that defense hoping it magically gets better.
Not a defense of Mike. He should be fired. In fact I think this is an indictment. FSU finally played hard for 4 quarters and result was so drastic that people think Miami played their C- game. They did not.
Miami is better but FSU benefited from field position and playing hard
Unbelievably condescending. Yes Miami is a better team and have recruited better. But that was not their C- game. And FSU had a lot to do with how Miami looked.
My FSU thoughts on last night in Miami on @Cover3Podcast
Bottom line: you played your A game, your rival played their C- game, and you lost because their C- is as good as your A because you suck at recruiting and developing players. Simple.
Also hotseat thoughts.
This is pretty much what I meant but in much more detail and Miami fans are all in my mentions about a response I had to Bud. FSU fans are pretty soft on this app but a lot of you Miami fans getting mad at me are giving them a run for their money. xitter.cf/btrembly/status/211202…
Time to face reality for my fellow Canes fans.
Many things can be true at once, and this is what I belive to be true.
- Any win is a good win. We used to play our best against FSU and still lose, like in the Kaaya years. But now, the talent gap is so wide, we can play mediocre and win.
- We are a good team.
- We are not a great team.
- Good may be good enough to win it all this year, because no team is clearly better than the rest. NIL has greatly spread the playing field and parity is among us. Whoever gets hot and lucky in December will win.
- Because we can stop the run, we should be in every game, outside of just weird circumstances, which can happen.
- We’re nowhere near as good as last year on the o-line. Everyone wants to complain when we don’t score 50, but we can’t really pound people in the 4th. We did against Clemson, we didn’t against Wake, we kinda sorta did against FSU. Cam Ward used to camp out behind the line. Mensah gets pressured, a lot.
- Mensah doesn’t have the strongest arm. He should come back next year. Won’t help his arm strength per se, but it will help his development.
- The losses against UL and SMU (garbage) ended up being good for us in ‘25. We played like we had everything to lose the last four games, crushed everyone, and rolled with that momentum right into the national title game.
- I don’t WANT to lose any games, but we will. We will not be undefeated this year. That loss will suck, but it will be good for us. This team needs to hit the playoffs hungry and like they have everything to lose.
- Bottom line, Mario has us back at #1 for the first time since ‘02, we’re winning big games, bringing in monster recruits, and should have a shot at title runs every year for the foreseeable future. Cannot ask for anything more.

Couple of things that upset me about this
A) it’s not holding. He chops his arm down and he lost his balance
B) this is very important. Holding is only supposed to be called if it could effect the play. The DE is double teamed and the ball is gone at the time of the “holding”. He’s nowhere near the QB.
Just an all time bad call. It’s an official looking to be part of the game.
A lot of responses pointing to Miami doing a few stupid things that FSU also did to illustrate how it was a C- game for Miami but A+ for FSU.
Can’t be both if they both did the same stupid things.
Brother if anyone is trying to make themselves feel better about their team, it’s Miami fans lol
You’re a better team but there are some deficiencies. Pretty much like every other top 10 team.
FSU fans have no misconceptions about who we are.
“Miami played a C- game”
Ok sure boss. Let’s take a deeper look shall we.
Oh and also Miami penalty yards per game on the season?
60.5
This game? 68
Apparently the team with the higher success rate (7.5 ypp to 6.9 ypp), who won the turn over margin (2-1) and needed two blown calls to keep FSU from a 2 point conversion (which they would have likely not succeeded) played like crap. Because the point spread told us so
Here’s Miami playing “C- and FSU playing A+”
Yeh right. Actually here’s Miami playing A+ and FSU watching the game. Plenty other examples, too.
