How do you expect players to be united, give their best effort and not have a divided locker room when the man has shown on two separate occasions that he only cares about his cornrowed narcissistic ego?

Your two best players and two best leaders (Terry and Wilson) have both come out and basically said this man tells one thing to us and a completely different one to the press.
Willie T never did any of this.
 
I don’t expect unity. I am not good with how he has started out. I understand needing to come in strong and lay a disciplined foundation. All the great ones do when they turn a program around. But his way of doing so has not been received well. Norvell either needs to adjust or we have way more players unwilling to divorce themselves from losing habits. Maybe it’s a combination... we’ll see. I’m not optimistic.

Can you recall a successful coaching tenure in the modern era (since 1990) that has started off like this? The man has not even coached a scrimage.

We have bitch players who whine and complain. Entitled brats

Time will tell! Meyer brought a culture change and blew things up. So has Dan Mullen. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.
 
Some members of our team really want Corch Willy to return

We have some players and their mommas that I suspect are still pissed that beloved Willy got canned and replaced by a white guy. The roster needs some churning IMO.

So even though Norvell has been accused twice by tean leadeds (Terry and Wilson) of being dishonest, this is all on the players and not on him?

You’re right but that’s why I’m in a wait and see mode. We hired him to fix the program. We have to let him try it his way. I just don’t remember Meyer or Mullen having this kind of pushback. As fsunumbers said it could be the social media magnifying glass making things look worse than they are. I hope he’s right. But my gut is not sending me good signals but that could just be the last three years of doodoo aftertaste in the way.

Absolutely that you have to let him try, even though the bar has been set at 21 games. But it could also be that Norvell may he a huge selfish prick who’s in it just for himself.
 
Hee hee

Bad apples

Right

Norvell thinks, because he is in Alabama, Florida, he has to act ignorant and suck up to magats. That will not end well. Embracing a man who embraced the pig who called black NFL plates sons of bitches

Players are right to be annoyed. It is as though there was no George Floyd, no bullshit attitude of fat white alumni wanting young smart black athletes to shut up and play, and no reckoning over there still being morons who want more magat incompetence and death, because, well, he mocks Muslims

Just because he went back in time from Memphis does not mean Norvell has to bury all his principles. So far that is what he has done.

I bet Mullin and probably 90 percent of head coaches voted for Trump. Are they also complicit in a career criminal suffering a fentanyl induced heart attack 2000 miles away?

I agree and that would be where the concern comes in over Norvell. Meyer and Mullen didn’t get this type of pushback and negative press that Norvell has gotten. That would be the concern if I was an FSU fan. Norvell may have the right idea in mind but doesn’t know how to execute it. He doesn’t have that much experience with this stuff. He may be in a little over his head.

Gonna have to have fairly significant roster turnover it appears, and that’s OK. The culture there is nothing like it was under Bowden. If they don’t like what’s happening, there’s the door.

Willie was a coddler. A players type coach. It didn't translate to the field. Many of these players wanted Odell Haggins. Push back is going to happen. The coddled ones are crying.

Leave it to the Lilly white guy who cries about the word yankee to jump on the political opportunity to bash a politician who has zero to do with this. The opportunity to spew his thoughts on what is best for African American young men.

You cry about someone bashing Muslims or this and that but never miss the opportunity to bash the south (where a large portion of African Americans make up the population) but I do remember you are the one who thinks a stretch of Highway 72 to Corinth is "scary".

Yep, consider the source on this one. Its a receiver who literally quit the team last yr, had his mom call the school and try to argue with Willie. Like my gawd what a beta. So now hes crying again. All of the others players came out on social media saying the testing is fine and thdy were not lied to at all. Basically, Warren Thompson is a known pussy, the team knows it as well.

Athletes should shut up and play, no one cares about their opinion.

Well when you cut out the dancing at pre-game warm ups and turn off the rap music blaring at practice what do you expect?
What's truly interesting is his former players at Memphis tweeting out the fact that we apparently have some whiny babies left from WT and even JF who wear their 4-stars from high school on their sleeves every day, don't want to work, and who need to grow up or leave.
CMN is blowing up the culture. Good for him.

I would agree with that argument more goldmom if it was perennial backups who called him out. But it was Wilson and Terry, both potential first rounders, and both guys who could have left last year. Not exactly the prima donnas who care more about rap and dance routines.

Both came back because of Norvell. Terry even told others to speak with Norvell to give him a chance. This wasnt Terry, it was Warren Thompson.

Wilson is all in & that misunderstanding was ironed out.

There are more players speaking out in favor on how the University and staff are handling the pandemic than not.

Can we all agree this is a seriously EFFED up first season for a HC at a new P5 school to deal with?

You ain’t kidding. But I’m very much enjoying this effed up dumpster fire
