This FSU football fanbase is down badly, and I can't wait until the season starts so we can know where everything stands.
FSU went 2-10 last year, and I understand fans are upset about it. However, nothing will change until FSU can put a different product on the field. They can't do that for another three months, yet some FSU fans want to find something to whine and complain about every week.
On Tuesday, it was a post by FSU defensive line coach Terrance Knighton:
His post could have been about anything. It could have been about the NBA Playoffs, a family member, or whatever. However, FSU fans felt the need to comment about recruiting or him doing his job.
Here's the thing who says he isn't doing his job? Some amateur journalist hacks who have been in their feelings about Mike Norvell and his program since their access has been cut? Because those guys believe the coaching staff should be recruiting guys without knowing where those guys stand on the coaches' recruiting board?
Are you telling me guys who have never played any sport at a high level know more than the guy who played in college and spent multiple years in the NFL? The same guy who has been a part of a defense that was top 20 in back-to-back years without a high-priced roster at Nebraska?

Do they have a better eye for talent because they watched two minutes of video or because some random recruiting site that depends on high school recruiting to make money has a guy ranked in a certain spot?
The guy has been at FSU for about six months, hasn't coached in a single game yet, and the Early Signing Period is six months away. I've said it time and time again, but these coaches' hands are tied in recruiting until players can see what they put on the field.
If the defensive line plays like crap this year and they don't sign any quality players, be my guest to put him on blast. However, right now, you look very immature if you're going at a coach on social media when he hasn't coached in a game yet and inherited the perception that comes with going 2-10.
That's like telling a new salesman to sell a car that's dirty and banged up for the price of a new car before he gets a chance to clean it up and fix it. It's not gonna happen.
