I tend to agree with you, DC. The more likely outcome is that last year was an outlier not the norm. That doesn't negate the possibility that they suck again, but if you're asking which outcome is happening more times out of 100, I'd go with FSU under Norvell being competitive at the top of the league.

First off, I see your use of "fish" and "canned" in the same paragraph and I tip my hat.

Secondly, I think a lot of fans are still scarred by 2020 and Whit keeping Fuente because of the pandemic and then doing a really bad spin job. I would switch your 2 and 3. If we have a bad season (don't make a bowl or go 6-6 with a loss to UVA) I believe the most likely outcome is Whit fires Pry and makes the next hire.

Yeah but Year Zero was an expected really difficult year with a shell of a roster. The loss to Vandy was because Vandy was actually pretty good and had one of it's best seasons this century. We're talking about a team that pushed around Bama.

Eight wins, we need eight wins, he needs eight wins...find them. Claw for them.

Just find eight wins. Pull an upset and lose a few close games to the right teams. Have the backups in for the entire second half of the Wofford game. Be competent on the field and in the booth.

But if you have competitive guys who don't like to lose, you gotta think a team with that much talent should have won more than 2 games. They had to have given up on the coaches. They play Alabama first next year, does a first game of the season loss turn them into a 2 win for the season team?


Long story short, I see it pretty similarly to French except for a couple adjustments. He is much much much more knowledgeable about football than I am so I am going based on either what I have been told or assumptions based on recruitments.

I agree that the Jack spot goes to Djonkam but I see Stevens being his backup there. Both are linebackers who have been converted to edge rushers and profile very similarly physically,

I would put Bell at the 5-tech even though he may be a bit undersized (LJ Collier on the Cardinals is 291 pounds) but I know he was recruited to be a starting end. I do wonder if they actually flip it from what we're thinking to have the speedier/high motor guys in Bell and Burgos at Jack with the stouter Djonkam and Stevens holding down the edge on the field side.

I think this Will spot is tailor made for Bass. Like French said, it's pretty similar to our Star under Marve, which is what Bass effectively was at Pitt. I'm not sold that Spencer stays there but not sure we have a choice with Gabe's injury. He was initially recruited to play a "big nickel" which in my eyes would align more with the center safety, but again, might need to keep him there for depth reasons.

Woodson is going to be the biggest beneficiary from the scheme shift imo. They have wanted to move him to Mike since his first summer on campus as he continued to grow and fill out. From my understanding, this scheme asks less of the Mike's to come up and fill gaps but is more reliant on their ability to move sideline to sideline. Agree with French that Keller is an awkward fit. Also not sure where I see Clatterbaugh fitting into this scheme but that's a tomorrow problem.

I see it similarly to French on the backend but I do think Flowers has a role on the field side. There isn't a ton of run support responsibility over there with the Will covering the 5 tech, and his coverage ability would be an asset. The one that I don't see having as much of a natural fit is unfortunately Covil.
