If a player has issues with multiple coaching staff, then I think it’s fair to say it’s the player that’s likely the problem.

It didn’t take long for those players to begin revealing themselves, as a couple was dismissed before the summer.

However, it was during the season where we finally began to see players deciding Tallahassee wasn’t the place for them.

Some players were passed on the depth chart, and others opted-out. I know some fans felt the max exodus was a bad thing, but I’m here to tell you it was one of the best things that could have happened for this program.

One thing to note is, none of the players that have left the program are getting attention from any of the elite programs.

That should tell you all you need to know. It doesn’t matter how talented a player is if he’s not pulling in the same direction as everyone else, then he’s going to be a hindrance to the overall goal.
