Simplify it

Coaching
Offense
Defense
Special teams

Coaching and the fact that Heupel might have actually broken Lock.

Defense and running backs(but O-line isn't great at run blocking).

Running backs are fine. Fix the OL and the backs will look good like usual.

NolePride · Oct 14, 2018

There's not enough paper here to list them in proper order.

Truth is 90% of RBs are mostly a function of their OL. Very rare that a RB significantly runs better than his blocking

Ojb81 · Oct 14, 2018

Defense, particularly the back end. Way too many big plays given up.

I don't have time to type all that shit out.

Our only flaw is - we have no flaws.

It's going to be rough this year and maybe even next year but IMO if y'all stick with Taggart it's going to pay off.

Most posters on here look at the record this year and bash Taggart but those of us who follow FSU because we play FSU every year has seen this trainwreck coming for a while. After the NC in Winston's first year something happened and y'all stopped developing players....especially on both lines and at QB. Between that and the amount of attrition y'all had the past two season were inevitable. As I've said before....the past three seasons of Last Chance U have featured a different highly ranked FSU QB who ended up at JUCO. I don't care who you are, that kind of attrition catches up to you in the end.

We saw it coming also. That's why nobody was really upset with
Fisher leaving. But what we've gotten in return is worst.

He'll get another year, but he's gonna be forced to dump the OC
and possibly the DC, this season.

I understand the problems with the OL. We've always been lucky
there, because Trickett couldn't develop more than five at a time.
This year we lost our starting right tackle 4 weeks before the
season began when he was kicked out of school. By the end of the
1st quarter of the VPI game we had lost our starting left tackle and
starting left guard to injury. Now we've gotten both of those guys
back, so it has improved in the Louisville and Miami games. Miami
got to our QB off the right side.

Our LB's have been undersized for three years now and that has to
improve. Our DL is fine. DB's get confused with new coverage
but when they're left alone, they're ok.

Play-calling is pathetic. QB play is pitiful. And that is compounded
by the fact that many people believe he lost our best QB. Many
say that Bailey Hockman should have been the starter. He was
a leap year ahead of Blackman in the Spring game and he redshirted in 2017. Those close said he had the better fall camp
than Francois and when he was put at #3 on the depth chart
he bolted. And nobody blames him.

He walked into a school with the 4th most elite talent in CFB.

62 4 or 5-star players and we struggle to block and/or tackle.
His coaching staff is a gigantic drop-off from what we've had
and it ain't gonna be tolerated. Our boosters pay all of our
scholarships except for the 50 or so that are endowed. They
are already threatening pulling money from the program. They
are not going to pay for this kinda piss poor development. His final
6 need to be much better than the first 6 or the Admin will make the changes.

IMO that would be a mistake.

Trickett didn't even develop 5 OL his last few years. I honestly was surprised it took Francois as long to get hurt as it did, and there were numerous times last year I thought Blackman was murdered on the field...including in our game when Tre Lamar had a full out free shot strip sack against him. Say what you want about Blackman....he's a tough SOB after the beating he took last year from your supposed OL.

The recruiting classes might say one thing but you still have to develop them and I'm not sure there was a lot of development going on with your program under Fisher after the last NC season. Hell, I thought Winston regressed the season after the NC compared to the season before.

I like Taggart as a coach. I think he's got what it takes to create a winner if he's given the time to do so. FSU fans and boosters might not want to hear it but there's a lot of stuff he needs to fix with your program, starting with actually developing the talent on the roster.

Our special teams are just ok . Back end of the D is just ok. Ferentz plays not to lose and that will likely cost us 1 or 2 more this year . Too bad because we don't really have a major huge weakness but enough minor ones to keep a few games close enough for Ferentz to fuck a few of them up

Bedlam131 · Oct 15, 2018

The biggest weakness got fired and frankly it was worth the loss to Texas to make that happen (giving up that many points to an anemic Texas offense was embarrassing).

With the above said, the defense is still young and is missing that edge rush they have had with Obo and Striker. As a young D they tend to over pursue and leave their assignments.

O line aside, the run game just does not have the punch it had with Anderson in the backfield.

That’s nothing. Until very recently the highest paid coach at ND wasn’t Brian Kelly. It was Charlie Weis. At one point they were paying more for his buyout than the school was paying Kelly.

Let’s hope the interim and eventual new DC don’t think they have to have an undersized one trick pony to get a rush. That was a big part of Mike’s problem... among other things.

BigRedMoe · Oct 15, 2018

Hmmm.... before I start, is there a character limit on tHoop posts?

Deep Creek · Oct 15, 2018

I'll pass on this one. My post would elicit a lot of TLDR responses. :pout:

Boise4Life · Oct 15, 2018

Where do I begin? Most glaring would be the offensive line, particularly run blocking. Special teams blows. The defense that was supposed to be so beastly with every starter returning outside of Vander Esch is severely injured and starting to leak oil. The coaching and play calling have been questionable at times. Another disappointing season and not even winning out can salvage it. And to be honest, not a snow ball's chance that's happening anyway.
