He knows Gus extremely well, so there won’t be a learning curve. That’s huge going into next season.

[@jcorner17]

Jeff is clearly holding back what he really thinks.

[@edwardjones282]

Trevor jackson should be excited.

[@UNCONQUERED386]

He made the right decision to come. I always wondered why a 4 star would come be as a walk on. Everything happens for a reason.

[@DangeRussAcountability]

@@UNCONQUERED386 I heard, Jackson changed his commitment after Norvell settled on kromenhawk. No scholarship available so he walked on, and will get scholarship this year. I truly believe he’s the our next heisman candidate atleast! Go NOLES!!!

So much fan chatter from a kid who’s never touched the field. Y’all love to hate on anything

[@chriswilkes5427]

Any of you quit a job after your boss tried to put you into a position where you couldn’t succeed? If so, shut the hell up cause that’s the same damn thing. Life is about 2nd chances. The kid is 20. Gotta love all the people who were mature people who didn’t make any mistakes ever lmao😂

[@KH-qs1di]

Yep. I was put in a situation by my supervisor where I wasn't suppose to succeed, but I succeeded anyway because I wanted to. See, that's difference between being average and being great. The only individual that can stop themself from achieving is themself. 20 years old is not a kid. He's a grown man. If you have children, I hope you don't pacify them. That's what's wrong with these young men today. Don't want to compete and go through the fire. As soon as things get tough, they quit. Based on your response, I know which side you stand on.

[@CMATT850]

So if the end goal is the NFL and your head coach was insanely successful at that level and wants to run an NFL offense then please explain to me how Bill Obrien put him in a spot to not succeed? Sounds like he wasn't succeeding to the level of expectations and quit when he got benched. It's a character flaw any way you slice it but yall keep giving these kids a pass. Before the portal you either had to grind and grow or burn your 1 transfer up and hope for the best.

[@DNiceMusic89]

@@CMATT850yea but if your QB has a strength of using his legs, you should alter your offense for him.

[@DNiceMusic89]

@@CMATT850he didn’t really want to play for Obrian from what I’ve heard and decided to give him a chance this part season so that actually says something about him as a person.

[@edwynnhouston1461]

The coordinator who's coached big boy football multiple times wanted this guy. Let him do his job

[@noletroll]

No our fans are all all experts, didn’t you know? Why would we trust the people who get paid to do this?

[@seminolefantodd4736]

I'm 63 and ready to go back to Bowden/Andrews era FSU where we knock the teeth out of our opponents and get W's. I don't think we need "NFL" QBs to accomplish this.

[@ajaynole]

Sounds like Luke should be going to BC 😂

[@TheExodusV]

Planning out practices for next year is quite simple…whatever was practiced last year do the opposite 😢

[@jimmylatawonenis6118]

EXACTLY!!! NEVER SEEN A PRACTICE VIDEO..WHERE THE STARTING 5 O-LINE WAS PHYSICALLY LEG DRIVING THE 5 MAN O-LINE SLED..AND THAT'S WHY OUR O-LINE HAD NO PUSH....IF YOU DON'T PRACTICE IT, IT'S NOT HAPPENING ON SATURDAY 🍢🏹🪓🛶

[@donwoodall9487]

Did you just say “ A little bit of a different era”? You are a master of understatement.

[@jcorner17]

If the team is not physical then that falls at the feet of the head coach.

[@richardbrookins5406]

Maybe, maybe not. If the team does not have the ability to be physical due to injuries or illness it is not the coach's fault. Now, if the players just plain suck because they do not have the physical skills necessary then yes, it is the coach's fault for signing the wrong caliber of player.

[@rlhaff3560]

I hope he can handle our O line situation… unless we somehow miraculously come up with a good line next year, hard to imagine that considering the players on the roster at the moment, he will be running for his life, which Travis navigated obviously… but we will find out about his leadership and attitude.

[@henjenks]

This upcoming season can y’all let us know if they look soft in practice, cause yall wasn’t reporting that this season

[@dylanrow8808]

Until we hear from him we ain’t taking this take 😂

[@edwardjones282]

He could possibly show out. Just saying, a db took gus to the natty.

[@DangeRussAcountability]

I knew it was O’Brien when I first heard about this!! The GOAT couldn’t even stand him in New England!!!

[@LittleHammer_]

What about his time in Houston?! That was a debacle

[@touresaythavy]

Wasn't he at Alabama, did he lose to Auburn when Gus was there

[@LittleHammer_]

@ no Gus wasn’t at Auburn when Bill was at Bama.

[@MalcolmLangMusic]

Most people who choose to criticize TC just don’t want him at FSU. Questioning his character for leaving BC when we don’t know the situation is a bit ridiculous. O’Brien only succeeded with Brady & that had very little to do with him. Brady didn’t even get along with him half the time & O’Brien even self sabotaged the Texans when they had a legit Dual-Threat Deshaun Watson before his skills fell off a cliff. So I’m not going to believe that TC is some uncoachable diva. Sounds like O’Brien wasn’t high on TC in the first place, and he knew that. It’s one thing to assist in improving his accuracy, but to take away a pet of his game that makes him even more dangerous isn’t smart

[@scrappinwolf220]

@Malcolm Well said, and it's amazing how people judge others personally without having all of the facts

[@janicesmith5270]

Will your observations on practice be like last year's? I hope they are more accurate.

[@darkhorse2615]

Still will need an OL ...just sayin. C'mon man. And linebacker on defense.

[@SteveO311]

This is a disappointing decision. Seems like a big risk to save your job.

[@WhiskeyTango0420]

He was one injury away from seeing the field again.

[@markhicks8377]

bring back matt drills you can separate the men from the boys

[@davidmaynard3740]

If this reason for leaving is true it makes more sense to me, however he should have stayed until the end of the year. Last year, he was under a different offense that conform to him, and this year it didn’t. I chalk it up to the same reason Luke left because the change in offense. Just embrace it. Castilonos shoulders improvement this year and will do the same with a new better team that has his style offense.

[@spartannole71]

Doesnt matter how good your QB can throw if your WRs can't catch with any level of consistency.

[@alexlynch1674]

good player, high risk high reward 3 colleges in 4 years is hard. Wish him luck just not against BC. He made some crucial mistakes that cost BC games against VA Tech, VA, and Missouri he also won a few games like Michigan state.

[@jimmylatawonenis6118]

Jeff Cameron!! You're the best!!! I ❤ your realness..FSU as a fandom has to get back to reality!!! Look at the history of FSU ..We have not been good any year in football (excluding 1999 season), if we(FSU) haven't had a dual-threat ATHLETIC QB...💯🍢🏹🪓🛶

[@LittleHammer_]

Just think there are a ton of options out there, and we settled immediately on TC. Don’t get me wrong, he may fit this scheme but so would Kaiden Salter, and he’s by far the better passer. What WR in the portal is rushing to come play with TC?! Idk guess we’ll find out

[@DNiceMusic89]

Who did Salter play against though? Has he shown anything on the bigger level?

[@LittleHammer_]

@ does it matter? I mean they put Malik Willis in the NFL. He’s clearly proven he can produce at a very high level at Liberty. And I prefer him moreso for his passing ability in addition to him being older and capable of leading a locker room.

[@greghobbs1728]

If the 2nd string can’t handle North Alabama on senior night it doesn’t matter.

[@hawkeye790]

TC was benched for exactly what O'Brien said - James gave them a much better option to win. TC single-handedly lost more than one game for BC. He is the worst passer I have ever seen and makes mistakes that loses games. And he is not exactly a leader of men. Maybe he does ok with a run first offense for quarterback. If you want him to throw the ball though you are in trouble.

[@bryanprice6913]

I agree he was in a terrible situation, but there is no excuse for giving up on your team while youre there.

[@CGolden-tm2bu]

I ain’t sold on a .500 Qb

[@Robert-p2l1t]

Getting to 500 would be a great accomplishment since it means we are at least competitive.

[@mari21304]

In his good season he had 15 td’s and 14 picks, yikes.

[@Chris-tq1jy]

Castellanos doesn’t have the arm strength to consistently push the ball down field. I wish BC was playing FSU next year. Castellanos is garbage. BC tried to run plays that rolled him out of the pocket, we just couldn’t get the ball out accurately. Defenses started putting a spy on him and it worked.

[@noletroll]

He’s not garbage. Terrible take. And if he is garbage, what are Brock and Luke? Hot garbage?

[@forrealgav6581]

That’s cap

[@timothydecoursey7546]

In my opinion, Norvell grabbed the wrong coaches again. Not a fan of the run first up the middle, pass when you have to.

[@GrantsTV1]

He quit on his team thats what happened

[@DNiceMusic89]

Not true

[@DNiceMusic89]

Why people not criticizing all these other players that transfer out?

[@djferg-f8s]

Catsellano's or trevor will be our QB

[@edwardjones282]

Ira, nice job avoiding saying nfl throws and saying nfl conceptual offense. Masterful.

[@timothydecoursey7546]

Castellano is 5’9”. He’s not remotely close to a pro form in the pocket QB. He is only there to run. Norvell clearly is not looking to pass much. Just look at the coaches he hired. Running offense. Gone are the days of Bowden/Jimbo, past first, run later

[@OnlyNolesknow]

I don't care what kind of offense we run as long as we put up 40+ on everyone

[@davida.taylor8444]

That's what I hated about losing. Luke was because he was a pro style quarterback who could also run. I miss the days of pro style offenses at Florida State.

[@OnlyNolesknow]

@davida.taylor8444 it was a favorite of mine to watch too but American football is changing you got qbs running routes for tds you got the tush push, I like seeing all the creativity and it throws defenses off

[@thornehauser9511]

I think Mike shot himself in the foot when he hired Gus and in turn Castellanos. I think Castellanos is DJU 2.0- just a flop. And I hate to say it but I think this will be the final nail in Mikes FSU coffin. I hope I'm wrong but I can't help but think this is it.

[@noletroll]

Yeah but you might be wrong

[@harrisonknight7822]

The players quit on fsu verse GA. 63-3

[@Crushkirkland]

Man, shows your intelligence. I bet you quote this every day on a ton of fsu posts. It’s been a year, we get it, we got blown out in a meaningless bowl game because most of our players opted out. This isn’t the jab you think it is anymore, we don’t care. We went 2-10 this year and people are still talking about a blowout from last season. You have plenty of ammo from this season. Find something else to joke about Florida state with.

[@j-rodst4931]

At this point, Norvel better win a lot next year or he needs to get gone. He’s banking on this guy fine but he said that this would be a quick turnaround and 6-6 or 8-4 it’s not good enough for how he’s talking.

[@javarsermon7537]

Here yall go 😂

[@Rockymarciono731]

Hopefully he proves me wrong but I’m not excited about a 5’ 9” QB

[@themidnightson]

So......He's not coachable

[@jaysmith7725]

I don’t like that move at all. Norville’s gonna lose his job. I don’t like his hires.
