I'm sitting here today 3 days after LSU-FSU 2023 game with FSU currently ranked #4. He really really meant this speech. It gives me chills to see this speech almost 2 years later. To witness the results of hardwork, determination, passion and genuine love for both teammates and the game of football. Never been more proud to be a Seminole fan!! GO NOLES!!

Im pleased to see him be accountable. I have no doubt he wants things to get better. Its the execution for me. Fanboys take note. Its ok to critique the HC when the team isn't winning.

[@redhunter8731]

I am sitting here rewatching this sitting at 9-0 and it's incredible how he means every word that he says. He always talks like this and he gets players who want to run through a wall for him. This is how you build culture when you are losing. This is also why unless it's a complete disaster coaches should be given at least 4 years to get their recruits in and build their program culture. It's crazy to me that last year we had fans who were thinking he wasn't our coach. I am so glad that our program knew who they had and knew the results would be worth the wait.

[@richardbrookins5406]

After this I am more convinced than ever that he is the right man for the job. The program is getting turned around, but there is obviously a ways to go. It is better than the last few years, players and staff both have bought into the program. The fans forget that this situation did not happen overnight, and will not be fixed overnight.
