The hire of Ryan Bartow caught a lot of fans off-guard. A lot of FSU football fans were in the is this a good hire category?
Fans wanted Mike Norvell to concentrate more on the Sunshine State, Georgia, and the surrounding areas, and that’s where Bartow brings the most value.
Bartow has an extensive network of recruiting connections, with over a decade in the game while working as the lead college football recruiting reporter at 247 Sports.
Bartow was on the recruiting scene when FSU football was elite under Jimbo Fisher and understands what’s possible with the program.
Not only that, he understands how to evaluate, what it takes to land elite recruits, and what an FSU caliber football should be.
