Florida State look 'unfathomably bad' after 0-2 start | Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz | NBC Sports

unfathomably bad. What is the biggest Victory? Because Belichick's now going to hire all his friends and put them on television analyzing games. And none of them are any good. It's Charlie Weis and met Patricia. He's just gonna create a giant economy around. See just stinky coaches, who don't? You know, can't work anywhere. You'll be working, it's three weeks. It will just be Romeo Crennel. That's right. He's got, he's gonna get a bunch of jobs and Steve Belichick is all about his son, going to be hosting three. Shows on the NFL Network, give Bill O'Brien, some credit. That was a I think Florida State. They it's not like they gave up after the Georgia Tech game. Like I think they really thought they were going to just stomp Boston College and move on with their season but now they open the season with two ACC losses before week two, is even begun. And it's like, first of all, I think it's it's odd that they're playing to Conference teams that are really in the season. It's weird, bad job and it's 80 it's like a kind of like a, how do you move? From this, right? Because they're often sucked so bad but their defense was supposed to be mean, like, Mike, how many podcasts did you listen? Do this offseason that said, Florida State's d-line was the best in the country and had all these NFL prospects and no one was gonna be able to run on them Sabin, co-signed on that notion. And then you watch Boston College whose their quarterback is legitimately very fun to watch. He was very fun to watch last year. His name is Kathleen Castellanos, which I think always has people like, all right. Something weirds going to happen, there's a Casio nose with a deep Drive. What's going on? What's going? On right now. But I mean credit to Bill O'Brien came into, you know, Seminole territory and won the game and well, first game at Boston College. It's crazy. I will say that while the it didn't look like FSU quit before that game. It certainly looked like there was some quit late in that game. I was a second quarter. Yeah that was that was that was really disappointing performance from FSU and Mike no Norville who was so calm on the sidelines before wearing it dude is wearing it was wearing it after the second three and out it A lot of concealer pressure. He is under this is a dude that was reported said no Talib Amma over the offseason and now that has House of Cards. Maybe coming. It happens that crashing to the ground it stings, but like, you can't give up like, you still have to. It's so hard to get players to buy into a program, especially after what happened to them at the end of last season, missing the playoffs and being as a team that can go 13 and, oh, I know it's different now with the 12 team playoff, but it's just such a terrible look for the Fire Conference, that they were left out of the playoff, and so you can't just give up on the season and not make a bowl game. Like, you have to, at least try to salvage. What you can from Jessica. That's not a lack of effort, they stink, okay? Like last week we, I said, I declared their season was over last week, when they lost to Georgia Tech that way, their quarterback is not good enough and their season is over it. What we can talk about the weakness of the conference. But when you're telling me that, that team, quit against Boston College, what I This is how it's happened this season in two games, first drive of the season for FSU stugots, in a whole lot of people declare them the best team in the country. Because they go down the field on Georgia Tech and seven plays. And all they've done since then is lose with a quarterback who dinks and dunks. Their offense isn't nearly good enough. It's not and this is what happens when you're all in on the portal. And I would say that there were other things going on. When it was good to be FSU that we're worthy of taking inventory of whether it be players publicly. Complaining about the money that they're getting threatening to hold out of bowl games if they don't get their money right there. There were guys that were that were pretty high price that made a big public stink about what they were getting, what they weren't getting. There were part of that group in that second quarter that were quitting. And this is why even though it felt good to be FS you, when you had Jordan Travis under Center, this is why you have to stack those transfer portal classes with Talent underneath because you're at the mercy of what's in the portal and you're at the mercy of other programs. Also figuring out the portal. They tried to get Guys, like cam Ward, they were unsuccessful. So they decided we're going to get all these guys that aren't getting playing time at these big programs because if there are playing a big programs that will get our fanbase excited. Well, you were at the mercy of the portal, portal, wasn't good enough. And now you got nothing behind these guys. You're you're asking for backups that you don't have. Yeah, I'm curious. Like if there was a point in the game in which was like you have to pull DJ like he, there were a lot of drop balls. There was like he didn't have a lot of time. It was a bit like bad protection all around, but you have to wonder like how Ow, like unconfident. They are in the backup quarterback situation did not make any sort of change and that game because like the crowd is chanting. We want Brock, the backup quarterback and what second quarter third quarter. Like yeah, that's just stinks and to take your fan base from like being on top of the world last year going undefeated winning the champ. The conference Championship to this like that coaching staff. Just needs it. And then you can put the town on alert. I don't think they'd be Memphis. Wow, really the whole town on Alert, in Memphis makes a college football playoff. Wow. Here's what's interesting to me about this college football season. You have teams getting quarterbacks. They wouldn't normally get because of the transfer portal. So Michigan was stacked at quarterback Cade McNamara left. He's now an Iowa, Iowa puts up 40 points, I what might be good, they could score 25 points a game. They might be a team that could sneak into the playoffs, anything happening at Syracuse with Kyle McCord. That guy was a quarterback at Ohio State. Syracuse never gets that quarterback. You through four touchdowns as weekend Court, actually impressed me a little bit with his toughness. It was a he was dealing with injuries especially in that in that mess. Young again that people didn't really realize, but that was a very disrespectful line for Iowa. Come on. Some of these people are gone at 20 point, favorite over a 6-1 Illinois, State team, come on, put it on the pole, plays Juju is unconfident. A word at Levitt art show and also can you tell the difference between a team that is quitting and a team? That's not very good because I can't I don't have that ability. I may be teams quit but I haven't seen everything anything from FSU accept. First drive this season that suggests to me anything other than that teams, not very good. Got about 16 recent years of experience, being able to spot it happening right in front of me. And so yeah, there's bad body language, bad posture. When he gets to the line everyone looking for leadership, their lackadaisical approach and also look at the the red flags that pop up over the course of what people are talking about before this season has had a recipe for a disastrous season for FSU and is playing out worse than maybe even the the people that were most sour on their chances at it. Championship odds in two games, have gone from 66 to 1 to 500 to 1 and what that tells me is, nobody expects a turnaround. Nobody thinks this is an anomaly fsu's, just bad. Let me explain something. As Jessica says that Bill O'Brien deserves, some credit for this. This still can't believe that Bill O'Brien and Boston College going into Tallahassee and winning 28:13 the home team's, not any good like, it's not Boston College, May indeed surprised. You may be better than you thought, they were FSU scoring 13 points at home and Boston, College's defense also for the last couple of years as a defense, that every once in a while will surprise you and slowed FSU last year when they A lot better than this, but losing at home and scoring only 13 points at home. It's an indie, it's a damning indictment. I know like Talent composite isn't everything but FS uses top 15 in the country, this season on 24/7. So I don't think you can say that they're not talented. I really think that when it comes down to things like this, it's the coaching staff not putting players in a position to be successful. And so I tried to not to like blame individuals for a performance or put it all on the players even though individuals can have bad. Performances. That's very common in sports, especially in college football. But when you have a team that going into the season, is extremely talented by most metrics and is has number of players that are either projected to play in the NFL or, you know, top of their class in college football and then they lose their first two games of the season two teams that their favorite against. Like I think that's 100% on the coaches. Here's what took me the most by surprise last night because I thought Boston College could win that game. It was how poorly Boston College. Played in Blowing FSU out because they were disastrous on special teams. Castellanos was missing. Open receivers that were shrieking wide open route dropper. We are was often taking the closest wide open option, just completely for going touchdown passes deeper down the field, they didn't even have to play. Well, Lou, Riddick pointed out. There is no deep safety right now. They do not respect us and it's the same exact thing that we saw last week. Georgia Tech grew into that game. I don't expect Boston. College's defense was the only good unit for Boss. Austin College really yesterday. The only really impressive unit. Georgia Tech doesn't have this incredible defense either throughout the game. Those opposing defenses, grow into it and get more aggressive because they realize we Uncle. Ali has no interest in throwing the ball downfield. And if he does, it's a keep another defense honest and it's going to be an accurate.
