Final Thoughts

I know a lot of people turned off the Miami game in real-time because I was one of them. However, I’ve gone back and watched the game a couple of times, and I was excited to see the young players play with the effort they gave.

It could have been real easy for them to go into a game where they were getting blown out and not give a care about their effort.

However, the way they fought was inspiring and gave me hope for the future of the program. Their desire told me they care and believe in what Mike Norvell is trying to build with FSU football.

Is there enough talent to shorten the turnaround for FSU football? It’s possible with good coaching and development, and that’s something Mike Norvell was able to do at Memphis.

Other programs that have achieved respectability with less talent than FSU football in the last few years. It’s not like FSU was in the running for national titles with top-rated recruiting classes in 2016 and 2017, and that talent didn’t do much to help the program the last two years.

At some point, development becomes as important as talent when you’re trying to dig out of a hole. This staff is going to have to commit to developing players until they can get back on the level of landing difference-making talent.

If either Tate Rodemaker, Chubba Purdy, or Luke Altmyer can reach the potential Mike Norvell sees in them? That’ll be the catalyst to help the young talent on board turn things around quicker than some expect.
