Unconquered with Doc Staples

Florida State went two and a half seasons without winning a game away from Doak Campbell Stadium. In the two games since firing Mike Norvell, the Noles are 2-0 on the road after a 16-10 win over Pitt on a short week. The biggest differences to my eye are that this team is playing much looser and responding to adversity better, as they look like they're having more fun with less pressure on them at present, leading to better results. Ernie Sims' defense has also looked markedly better than the unit under Tony White. Please rate and review this podcast! Every 5-star review helps!

In the first game after firing Mike Norvell, can Florida State finally win a road game? The Noles face a Boston College team that was beaten 47-2 by Duke last week, but there are no guarantees that this FSU team can replicate anything of the sort. The final half of the show is more discussion of the coaching search. After finishing the recording of this show, I got word that James Franklin is in the mix of serious consideration for the job, something I'm not as keen on as many would be.

After yet another embarrassing loss—this time giving up 36 points to a Clemson team that had not scored over 28 against an FBS defense this season—Florida State finally tore the unbranded adhesive bandage off fired head coach Mike Norvell, who somehow managed the feat of going 10-23 over his final 33 games at Florida State. Now Florida State is situated as the best job on the coaching market this cycle, so now begins the process of choosing the right head coach to lead the program into more success in the immediate future.

On the heels of an overtime loss on the road at Miami (FL), Florida State hosts a Clemson team that may be struggling even more than the Seminoles.

Florida State gave rival Miami (FL) all they could handle on the road, coming up just short in overtime after two controversial calls took away the potentially game-tying touchdown. Despite four losses on the season, it's apparent that Mike Norvell still has not lost this team, as they played hard and put themselves in position to win a rivalry game on the road. But it's still not up to Florida State's standard, and a close loss is still a loss. If there's anything to criticize Norvell for, it's not going for two after the touchdown in the first overtime.

Florida State goes on the road to face rival Miami (FL) as Mike Norvell coaches for his job. It's not likely to go well. Lots of things will have to go right for the Seminoles to have a chance to win this game, and the odds of those things all happening are very slim. Not only are the Hurricanes more talented and better coached than the Seminoles, they're also a bad stylistic matchup for the Noles as well. But this may well be Mike Norvell's swan song.

Florida State was dominating Louisville, running the football seemingly at will, and about to score to go up 21-0 in the first quarter. Then the wheels fell off after a poorly called and executed play on fourth and goal, and Louisville outscored the Noles 44-6 from that point forward. We've seen this movie before, and it's not pretty. Please rate and review this podcast! Every 5-star review helps!

Florida State travels to Louisville on a short week to face a Cardinals team on a two-game losing streak on a Friday night.

Florida State overwhelmed a physical Virginia team in Tallahassee, dominating the line of scrimmage to the tune of ten sacks while rushing for 281 yards and five touchdowns, all by QB Ashton Daniels.
