FSU Football: Deion Sanders sends right message to former players
By Kelvin Hunt
The FSU football program is trying to get back to prominence, but there seems to be turmoil among a few former players and the new staff.
The Twitter world was bubbling about FSU football Saturday as some former players had some thoughts they wanted to get off their chest.
It all started with a tweet from senior cornerback Levonta Taylor talking about former players not being involved in the program.
He has since deleted that specific tweet but offered and follow up response that was classy and the right thing to do.
It’s sort of like what my grandparents taught me. “Whatever happens in this house…stays in this house.”
The response from some former players is what all the fuss was about though. There’s not many, but a few always seem to be rather vocal when it comes to the program since Willie Taggart became head coach.
I’m not sure what the catalyst are, but their voices were not near as loud on social media when the older regime was here. I can’t speak for when Coach Bowden was coach because Twitter wasn’t an avenue one could use to voice their opinions back then.
Hate to say but your coaches don’t want us helping!!! Former players have said they would come in help and No one on the staff has give us a heads up of when. So it’s not on us. Y’all need to check with your staff. Just saying if you want to know the truth

Help how though? What has been offered in terms of help?
That’s all we saying Trap. If y’all mad over someone criticizing y’all get over it. Secondary look like crap last season and that’s because your coach can’t coach his own defense. There’s no way in hell if I’m the DC and the secondary coach that the backend would look confuse. https://t.co/Fkr8y9Iw6Z

I’m going to go out on a limb and say Odell Haggins doesn’t need help coaching as he’s one of the best to ever do it.
Also, saying a coach can’t coach his own defense certainly isn’t going to get you an invite back to the program?
Why would a coach invite you into the program if you don’t respect him when he’s clearly a proven coach and has way more coaching experience than you.
