I am Coach T's second biggest doubter apparently but I hope he succeeds at FAU, I believe this IS more his level! He IS a great recruiter and has hired a good staff. I feel if he succeeds like Lane he will be gone in 3 years and then Leavitt will gets his second shot as HC!

I've mentioned this previously but I am a GT season ticket holder. Lived in ATL for the last 19 yrs as a sales engineer and the majority of my friends/customers are tech grads. So I know a little about the ACC. Furthermore, the only team I hate more than FIU is UGA.Silver_Bullet32 said
In any event, if FAU played in the ACC (this past year) we would have finished 11-3. The ACC was a very bad conference except for Clumpson. Again this year…. Willie T had a losing record in bad ACC…with 4 and 5 star recruits. And stop with the Jimbo dumpster fire excuses…..It's not Jimbo's fault, Willie was the HC.
If I may ask, why do we want a coach who's only "good" in a G5 conference?
Hells, jgf2017 is already making excuses for Willie T, calling next season a rebuilding year. Seriously?
Many on here state the fact that Willie T is a great recruiter but no one says he's a great coach……
I would rather have a great coach and a good recruiter. Unfortunately, LK is gone and not coming back.
Go Owls!

So yes - the ACC was down compared to the last few years, and in relation to the other P5 conferences. But I still think when you start going team-by-team they are better than most G5 leagues. Just because FSU and Miami have sucked there are still some decent teams there. I'd venture to say this season only FAU and LaTech at full-strength would have a shot at an 8 or 9-win season in the weakest of the P5 leagues.
But back to the topic - I think Willie has put together a very good staff, that seems similar to what you might see at a P5 school. That and the talent coming back have me optimistic because we don't play in a very tough league.

I mean c'mon, how was losing at BC 35-3 in 2017 Taggart's fault? You think a program can lose at BC 35-3 and then very shortly after will be competing for a playoff spot? Are you kidding? It's the same thing with UF's delusional fans. 2019 was their peak. You think UF's going to compete for NC's too? You disregard that 2014 was FSU's last playoff appearance and they got SLAUGHTERED by Oregon 59-14. Hello? You think FSU just needs the right coach? Absurd. Even in 2014 they had no chance of winning the NC. It's now 6 years later. UF hasn't even been in the playoffs and their last NC was 2008. They haven't come close since. So it's Taggart's fault FSU didn't compete for a playoff spot, or is FSU in the gutter?

How does 6 years of having absolutely no shot at a NC mean I don’t know what I’m talking about? Let’s not forget you’re a die hard FSU fan. So bringing up 6 years of having no shot and the program declining means I’m wrong? You sound every bit in denial as a certain school to the south’s fans were 15 years agoPosted On: Jan 17th 2020, 5:27 PM #393488
Man are you ridiculous. College football is cycles. 6 years is nothing. You don’t know what you are talking about and time will prove me right.
That said I am not going to argue with you about the future of FSU on an FAU message board. I’m moving on.
GO OWLS!
