Firing the guy who led your program from the start to the FBS is insane. They should have stuck with the option offense they had been running too before they tried to go modern with the RPO pro style spread.

Looks like Ed Warrinner and Chip Long will be looking for new jobs.

Bring Ed Warinner back as the ol coach

No thanks. Did a crummy job at Michigan. Was just fired with FAU regressing badly under Herman. Did just okay at Illinois; running game improved but most of that due to Juice taking over for statue QBs. Minnesota did the same before and after him. He did great at Ohio State with running QBs but that's not what he would be walking into here. They need to find a proven OL development guy or someone where you have strong beliefs they will raise the recruiting ceiling for the position.

There's a certain sense to this beyond the alum factor. The Prime brand isn't part of FSU's grant of rights, of course, and it was promoting the Coach Prime brand that allowed the Buffs to put together a financial package they otherwise couldn't afford. FSU is in that position, too.

I don't know if Deion is a good coach, but if he is and FSU doesn't hire him, they'll always regret it. If they hire him and he's not, they might regret that, too. But I feel FSU perfected the figure-head leadership model under Bowden, so if anyone can install Deion simply to play to his personal strengths wrt promotion and media engagement, and let the machine run.

Deion to Dallas Cowboys.

As of right now he's saying no to those rumors. That could of course change, but I'm not so sure it makes sense to be honest. I feel like what he brings to the table is almost tailor-made for NIL-era NCAA football. I don't think it'd translate as well to the NFL. And I'm not sure Deion and Jerry Jones would necessarily work well together.

I love this quote from this article at SI: "Few things in recent history have drawn a cartoonish overreaction like Colorado winning its first three games last season against middling opponents."

Cartoonish overreaction. The state of the media, and therefore sports and everything else, today.
Yes that was an overreaction, but it's kinda weird to keep referencing it at this point tbh. Deion took over a team that was 1-11 before he got there. 1 win. 11 losses. Two seasons later they are 7-2. I don't care what their strength of schedule is. In 2022 they gave up 42 points on their homecoming game to a Herm Edwards coached ASU team that won 3 games (and then vacated 2 of those wins). It is no longer an overstatement to say that Deion has vastly improved that program in just 2 years.
