I'm wondering why FSU fans are calling for Bobby Bowden to step down so the Jimbo Fisher era can begin.
Why would the Seminoles be any better under Jimbo? He's already the offensive coordinator and assistant head coach and plays a large part in the direction of the team.
October 22nd, 2009 at 8:56 PM ^
I'd be looking for an outside hire if I were a 'Nole. There have been too many problems in that program, both on and off the field, to hire from within. They owe Jimbo a buyout if he doesn't become HC, but I'd write the check.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:05 PM ^
I don't know if Jimbo taking over and hiring his own staff would solidify the program or not, but right now they need something. I don't think they're a top 25 team, but they're also not a 2-4 (soon to be 2-5?) team.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:21 PM ^
Not to mention that Jimbo is already the de facto head coach. Bowden's just a figurehead.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:27 PM ^
I think this was talked about on Gameday one of the last couple of weeks - they actually said that, while Jimbo is the coach in waiting, Bowden still has a lot of control, including over the rest of the staff (hiring/firing).
I guess the thought is that Jimbo might end up cleaning house with all of the other Bowden hires to bring in his own people (whomever they might be) - could this end up being even worse for FSU?
Just say some FSU dude basically taunting a UNC guy, and even the announcers were saying the dude should look at the scoreboard before doing that crap. Wonder if Jimbo will change that aspect of FSU.

to see the replay of the Creminole take a swipe at the UNC player. They were like, "do you wonder where a guy's head is at when he does something like that." Are these guys actually surprised at behavior like this from an FSU player? They always act this way. Am I wrong here?
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:02 PM ^
i think with what has happened I would hire from outside
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:09 PM ^
I'm a Brian Kelly fan.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:19 PM ^
is interested.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:54 PM ^
what about nick saban?
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:25 PM ^
Man, FSU is just bad. That defense is awful.
Also, if I were a Carolina fan I'd throw eggs at the AD's house for putting them out there in those all-navy uniforms.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:31 PM ^
It is a little surreal to see UNC wearing blue uniforms that aren't Carolina blue. Weird.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:40 PM ^
9 penalties, 100 yards of offense.
Not even a trip to see Doctor Lou can save this team.....
...and I LOVE IT!
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:58 PM ^
For some reason I took FSU and the money line on this game. Not liking my chances at this point, but I guess it's not out of reach.
October 22nd, 2009 at 10:09 PM ^
I don't care what anybody says - Florida State is horrible.
October 22nd, 2009 at 10:17 PM ^
FSU is going to be 2-5 and 0-4 in the ACC after this game if they don't get their shit together.
What decade is this?!
October 22nd, 2009 at 10:17 PM ^
I'm generally in the minority among my UVA brethren for this, but I'm loving watching UNC take apart FSU here. I can't think of many teams I hate more or have less respect for than FSU. If Ohio State were playing FSU, I'd probably root for Ohio State.
October 22nd, 2009 at 10:29 PM ^
Are UNC and UVA big rivals?
October 22nd, 2009 at 10:32 PM ^
It's the third-biggest rivalry, sort of like Michigan-Notre Dame. There's less hatred between the two schools than between M/ND but there still are plenty who hate UNC. I don't, but some do.
October 22nd, 2009 at 10:38 PM ^
Okay, thanks. I really didn't know they were big rivals.
October 22nd, 2009 at 10:20 PM ^
So far, I'm happy. I got the Heels.
One question:
Is it good when your defense gets schooled all night by a John Schoop offense?
October 22nd, 2009 at 10:44 PM ^
I don't know how you can get yourself to bet on any game in the ACC. Hardly ever a safe bet (except maybe Duke beating the spread this season).
October 22nd, 2009 at 10:28 PM ^
FSU this season they scored a shit ton against legit teams like BYU, Miami and GT but they can't score on UNC and struggled against a 1aa team.
October 22nd, 2009 at 10:30 PM ^
happened to the FSU defense they were always loaded with NFL talent and speed.
I think their bowl streak might come to an end this season.
October 22nd, 2009 at 10:36 PM ^
I would kick the point here - pleanty of time left
October 22nd, 2009 at 10:37 PM ^
Just when I write off FSU they score 2 quick touchdowns.
October 22nd, 2009 at 10:47 PM ^
over 300 yards already.
October 22nd, 2009 at 10:48 PM ^
For some reason, I've wanted FSU to win more and more as this game has gone on. Something to do with not liking UNC in football. Couldn't begin to explain why, but then again, when does college football equal logic?
October 22nd, 2009 at 10:53 PM ^
UNC hoops since Montross beat the 5-fab, so I guess I should hate their football team too.
Then again, I've always like FSU so I would be rooting for them regardless.
October 23rd, 2009 at 8:35 AM ^
I grudgingly rooted for them against State last spring, but otherwise I want to see UNC hoops fall on its face.
October 22nd, 2009 at 11:04 PM ^
on defense - UNC going back to what was working.
October 22nd, 2009 at 11:15 PM ^
on top - but can their defense get a stop?
October 22nd, 2009 at 11:16 PM ^
This has turned out to be a great game.
October 22nd, 2009 at 11:20 PM ^
decision time
Punt.
October 22nd, 2009 at 11:27 PM ^
the tongue bath treatment - Gator on Nole praise.
October 22nd, 2009 at 11:29 PM ^
will not have much time - FSU should milk the clock and then call a TO here.
October 22nd, 2009 at 11:34 PM ^
Period.
October 22nd, 2009 at 11:39 PM ^
This win might help salvage FSU's season.
