True. (Notre Dame fan here.)

Protoco and I’ve always felt the same way with OSU. I usually pull for y’all. Here in Ponte Vedra..North Florida, there are actually more OSU fans than Miami fans! It’s like Little Columbus here lol some of my closest coworkers are OSU fans too. Good luck next year and don’t hang your head low...We lead America in targeting since the rule’s inception, so don’t feel too bad 😠 I hate it too!

[@Jagnole101]

Leila Adams feel the same about ND! Tough getting the recruits there when the academic standards are so high. Not to call the best players stupid, but let’s be honest. They are definitely meant for football and not class. ND requires calculus which is insanely difficult. Almost no player at Alabama or LSU could pass that.

Robert Lee, give Coach Norvell time, but I guarantee that Norvell's 2nd year, FSU will not lose to Boise St at home and they will not need overtime to beat North South Central Louisiana Community College. And unlike your rival The U, FSU will not lose to Florida International of the European Nations. I was never an FSU fan, and even cheered for Florida because I'm pro-SEC--although I have always hated on Miami--but I will definitely be cheering for Coach Norvell to win national titles for FSU. He gave the City of Memphis so much to be proud of, most folks didn't think they would live to see the success the Tigers have had this year. We Memphis fans are so greatful that he was the Tigers' coach for 4 years and understand that when you get a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you have to take it. We wish him the best. Go NOLES

Auburn fan here. Been watching this shitshow closely from afar. After you guys edged us in the Natty, I prayed and rooted against you guys to lose every game. Obviously it worked. The last few years have brought me incredible joy. It especially gave me immense pleasure watching clueless Taggart on the sidelines the last couple years. That being said, I'm tired of Clemson getting a free ride to the playoffs. Dabo is getting too whiny and cocky. You guys are literally the only school that can compete with them athletically on a level playing field. I didn't know a lot about Norvell until today. Just watching his press conference, he exudes a lot of confidence. Yeah a lot of coaches are pretty good in press conferences, but go watch Nick Saban's first press conference or Matt Rhules. Very similar, a lot of direct eye contact... little to no bullshit. Dude knows what it takes. Also, similar to Saban or Rhule, there will be no laziness off the field and limited chirping on it. Also similar to Saban and Rhule, Norvell is an old school disciplinarian as well which will help immediately with the on field shenanigans I have seen with Taggart at the helm. I guarantee you will see a lot of players lleave after year one that were part of the problem. Although he's no Rhule, Norvell has some similarities. This was probably the best hire FSU could get. He will at least bring you guys back to respectability and probably give you a chance to beat Clemson by year three at the Doak. And I think you guys can possibly be relevant again in year two. There's no reason for a program like FSU to be middle of the road in a basketball conference like the ACC.

@@DemZoesDuhh Your take on this is what is racist. You're making this about race when it had nothing to do with it. Taggart got fired because he took a bad team and made them worse. There was zero improvement. The team was also undisciplined. FSU is very proud of their football tradition, and rightfully so. It didn't matter if Taggart was black, white, brown, or purple. He got fired because the school and those who have influence over the program decided that the team was not heading in the right direction, and that the results were unacceptable.

I mean taggert took over a team that had been sabotaged by jimbo,that had been on decline,an oline that has been terrible since jameis last year,an culture of folding under pressure by our players,etc and a team that barely made a bowl if not for a cupcake makeup game.Willie was fired because in less than 2 years,1 and 1/4 recruiting classes he didn't live up to Seminole standards,not because of his pigmentation right?Our administration insisted that he was fired so that we could return to Nole standards,to make a splash hire and begin our renaissance,etc.So in as much time as Willie was afforded in the name of Seminole standards I'll give Norvell the same chance as Seminole standards permitted taggert.If he hadn't made an impact the next to seasons,1 1/4 recruiting classes and isn't fired as well I'll definitely remain cheering,a fan,alum and Supporter through cheer,But as a 3rd generation Nole my siblings and I will nolonger contribute as boosters.

[@JHardyFlighter]

i love it FSU

[@adamstevens1204]

Hired right before the pandemic

[@greglaplante7593]

Finally a real head coach .

[@rolandedwards1777]

SHOW AND TELL. NEED SOME ONE WITH A SPLASH IN RECRUITING.we will see.

[@prattkoon6069]

Another AAC coach that is the greatest coach and gonna turn things around.... Sounds vaguely familiar from the last coach FSU introduced.

[@itallafuckingjoke]

And this one doesn't have any experience in a P5 program, at least the last HC had a year. 🤡🌎

[@russellstuff-her7017]

This is a "we didnt get who we thought so were gonna hire this guy" kinda hire to me

[@lisajoplin6415]

Coach Norvell is the real deal! FSU is lucky to have him!

[@prattkoon6069]

@@lisajoplin6415 seems I heard that before as well.... 0-3 in bowls?? Wins against AAC teams... Sounds allot like the last guy... But I'm sure he's different.....

[@buckshot6481]

Well at least I've seen this guy coach, college, and win. Unlike the HS coach they just fired. The ACC desperately needs FSU to be competitive I'm Sooo tired of the DaBo show.

[@russellstuff-her7017]

You've never watched taggart if that's what you think.... you really think fsu hired a guy that didnt show he could win?

[@johnharding23]

YESSSSSSSS

[@realityreacted1]

Congratulations Mike Norvell!! You have at least 21 games to turn everything around or at least show some serious progress. I hope this administration gives you longer than 21 games and 1 recruiting class... GO NOLES!!

[@itallafuckingjoke]

They won't, and if they do, they will expose themselves as the biggest hypocrites this side of the Mason-Dixon.

[@justingoodwin8729]

If he can’t get them to line up properly after 21 games he’ll get the same treatment

[@rickyjohnson1457]

Key word "serious progress" can you honestly say that WT was helping FSU progress at a decent pace? Or are you so stuck on some other agenda you cant remove your blinders?

[@DemZoesDuhh]

How the hell they fired this man middle of his second season lol 😂 shit crazy ... but I’m happy for this new change
