Final Thoughts

A lot of folk may poo poo the hire but I’m not turned off by it. In fact, I think it’s a positive to bring Fuller over since he was already working with him THIS year.

Fuller knows exactly what Norvell wants from a defense and knows how Norvell wants to run his offense.

Zack Blostein from Noles247 is reporting Fuller will be in Tallahassee this weekend to assist with the final recruiting weekend.

It’ll be interesting to see how the recruits interact with him and what they may post on social media about their visits.

The good news is Fuller was making $400,000 as the defensive coordinator at Memphis compared to the near one million Harlon Barnett was making.

So FSU could have a much better defensive coordinator for a fraction of the price meaning other money can be allocated elsewhere?

That sounds like a smart move to me.
