Florida State has appeared in a nation-leading 36 straight bowl games stretching back to 1982. In that stretch they have only lost more than 5 games 4 times. With a 1-2 start including a strugling win over Samford, you have to think the streak ends this season.

 

Can Willie Tagert and the Noles get to six wins this season?

If so where do you see the five needed wins?

 

Va Tech - Loss

Samford - Win

Syracuse - Loss

Northern Illinois

@ Louisville

@ Miami

Wake Forest

Clemson

@ NC State

@ Notre Dame

Boston College

Florida

The streak is over and hopefully Willie has found a new home elsewhere.

As it stands today, I don’t see five more wins on that schedule.

I don't either, I'm not sure I even see 3 more.

I see one definite win. I’d be shocked if they pulled off a bowl this year.

It’s very likely in jeopardy.

As of now they’ll *likely* be an underdog in every game minus Northern Illinois.

They looked horrid today. I say they get NIU, Wake, maybe NC state. But if they don't get all of those, there's not much incentive to play Florida tough.

So, what’s Taggerts buy-out?

$21Mish...

They’re toast. This is easily the worst FSU team of my lifetime.

 

Again, I really can’t judge Willie on the team’s performance this year. He’s a recruiter, he needs time to recruit. But he definitely has some X’s and O’s things that are real deficiencies on his part. That does worry me.

A lot of blame has been placed on the talent, but over that span no one really out recruited them...maybe Alabama but even that is close.

Talent recruited, but never developed. The problems begin at the offensive line, which has been awful for years. When they won the national title game, their offensive line was almost impenetrable. Every year since you have seen their quarterbacks running for their lives. In fact, look at FSU in their national title year when the 2s came in. Jacob Coker (who would go on to win a title at Alabama) was lost for the season behind that backup offensive line. The reason why many FSU fans lost their patience with Jimbo and one of the major reasons he split was because he refused to make changes in coaching at that position. Francois took an unreal amount of punishment in his freshman year, got knocked out last year because of it, and now you're seeing the same thing again. If you can't block, you can do precious little on offense. You'd better be PERFECT in your playcalling if you can't block. And guess what - Willie ain't perfect at that by a longshot.

I see possibly 6 more losses on that schedule. I really do hope Taggart can be successful down there though.

They’re toast. This is easily the worst FSU team of my lifetime.

I cant worry about the Xs and Os deficiencies when the offensive line is not only horrible but they are basically refusing to block at this point.
