Caponi fired

[SUMG]

Until Coach Keebler learns that the offense needs to complement the defense.....I'm not sure how much is gonna change.

You can't constantly be going for it on 4th down. You need to play field position. You need to learn to "tilt the field" occasionally. You need to take 3 when it's available.

So not sure that firing Caponi solves all our probs.

Completely agree.

I think both EM and Mosley are feeling the backlash from everybody. There has to be someone aware of this forum under Mosley reporting back to get the pulse. I mean they’re not gonna go ask students how things are. 
 

I agree 100% about the firing, but this no way clears EM. This is still his team and his decisions that have us where we are. Keep that seat HOT!

I really hope our head coach and athletic director are not consulting a fan message board to determine major personnel decisions.

Sort of chicknshit to fire him so late in the season.  Seems like Morris is trying to find a scapegoat.  Same for Mosley.

When Mike Norvell fired his OC, DC and WR coach last Sunday, this was the rationale for why it happened when it did:

But the timing of the firings is what is most noteworthy. The new college football early signing period has forced teams to rethink their timeline for coaching changes, and like most other schools in the country, FSU had to make a decision now in order to salvage their current class as it stands.

I hope EM has Colby Carthel on speed dial offering him the DC for next year. He recruits well to SFA, he could even better at UNT with its much better facilities

Not to make major decisions, no. However, to get a sense for how supporters are feeling…yes.

And then they lost more top recruits.

I feel like that’s why/when coordinators are often fired.

[SUMG]

For years, we've been told by coaches and Athletic Directors, that every coach needs a 5 year contract. Otherwise, they can't recruit......because the kids want to know that the coach will be there for all of his/her playing career.

In the day and age of The Portal....isn't the "it must be a 5 year contract" thing.....moot???

FSU is in such bad shape that a lot of students stopped going to games. They still pregame like nobody's business at the frat houses, but the crowds at Doak are thin even after they reduced seats by 20,000 this season for stadium renovation.

My son goes there and I attended their home losses to Clemson and UNC. Even a P5/4/3/2 program with multiple national championships has to put a product on the field to pack the house.

If I have a broken leg and am being chased by a bear, I’m pretty excited if my leg is miraculously healed

Considering how many on this board are longtime season ticket holders die hard fans, and the heart of this fanbase, I HOPE they are aware of this board and what's being said.

Yep, too little, too late. This reeks of Morris trying to save his hide.  We need a thorough house cleaning.  

Exactly what I was thinking. He is finally feeling the heat, but it is too late. He should have made changes a year ago.

Morris needs to go too. It is his program and he let it get this bad. It is on him at this point.
