I wasn't on board with Willie at first.
Here is what won me over. He started at western Kentucky ( im going by memory) who had been like 2-10 when he got there. He turned them into a bowl 10-2 team in like 2 years. He went to South Florida who was awful when he got there and again, flipped them totally around very fast. From there he went o Oregon who had been struggling. He posted a strong record in 1 year there and brought in by far their best recruiting class ever, before he left for FSU which is his dream job.
Willie can recruit better than Jimbo Fisher can going forward. Jimbo lost the team last year and while he is a strong overall coach, Willie is also a recruiting killer and likely to be much better than Jimbo going forward. The kids love his fast faced offense, Jimbo is old school sludge.
Willie has reached out to the FSU community in such a tremendous way. I thought it was time for coach Bowden to retire but many FSU fans were very upset. Willie has reached out to the FSU past in an extraordinary way and invited coach Bowden back.
Even with that pure 0-1 ATS lemon, I believe FSU is in great hands. FSu is a 7-6 team that went to the Independence Bowl last year and lost some stars to the NFL. It wont be rebuilt in a day. But I believe in Willie.
