FSU football: A look at how good coaching improves things

FSU football is in a familiar spot heading into the 2020 season after another down year. Is it as simple as having good coaching to win more games?

The FSU football schedule was released a few days ago and we’ve parsed it up and down. Which games are winnable and which games could be look-ahead games?

Is it possible for the Noles to improve over their six-win total from last season? The fact of the matter is the Noles will play a lot of teams who were mediocre last season.

FSU beat some of those teams but also lost a couple of those games they probably should have. One of the strong suits most people have said about new FSU football coach Mike Norvell is his teams are always well-coached.

The narrative for Willie Taggart was he was known as a good recruiter and everyone was excited because he’d get the players at FSU who could help win national championships.

The only problem was the program as a whole was unorganized chaos off the field which then migrated to the field resulting in poor play.

The narrative on Mike Norvell thus far is there could be questions about his recruiting prowess, but he’s detailed oriented and well organized. So the question is can being organized and good coaching enough to overcome deficiencies on the team?

The answer is yes, and I want to show you two examples involving FSU football over the past decade on both offense and defense.
