FSU football staff changes continue with the departure of offensive line coach Greg Frey. FSU fans weigh in on the decision.

FSU football head football coach Willie Taggart announced they would not be retaining offensive line coach Greg Frey moving forward.

It’s a move that’s not a total surprise considering the rumors of Houston offensive line coach Randy Clements to FSU have been circulating for over a month.

Some thought it was possible Frey could be kept on staff in another role but that wasn’t the case.

The FSU alum only spent one season in Tallahassee with FSU’s offensive line being among the worst in the power five conferences.

Thoughts

It really is a tough situation all around. Greg Frey is a good offensive line coach and a former Nole so it always hits close to home when it’s one of your own that has to be let go.

He was dealt a tough hand with the offensive line he inherited, not to mention the injuries that took place. However, Willie Taggart’s job is on the line and he hired Kendal Briles to right the ship offensively.

Briles has an extensive relationship with Randy Clements and if that’s who he wants to coach the offensive line then that’s what has to happen if coaches are going to be held accountable.

Taggart said they will look to make a hire quickly so I would expect it to be Randy Clements since that’s been the rumor for some time.

I will say that major props have to be given to Frey for how he continued to do his job with all the rumors swirling.

He didn’t quit on the program like some coaches from the past regime. He’ll land on his feet somewhere I’m sure and I wish him luck.
