Jimbo Fisher: FSU is One of the Teams That Can Compete vs SEC

  • FSUgoNoles24 said...

    year 2 and he and his staff isn't good enough..... ok so if WM doesn't make strides then I guess he can't cut, or neither AG......

    also he was stating as a program we should be able to compete considering where we are located, resources at our disposal and enough tradition to compete.....

    If WM doesn't win 8-10 games this year, no progress is being made, and he will be on the hot seat going into '13.

  • again guys..... can this program as in FSU in general, not last years team, not this yeara team, not next years team, but FSU as a program..... can FSU compete with what is around them and what they are able to get... Jimbo might not be the right guy for the job, but his statement is still true.... FSU has the capability to compete with the SEC.....

    most coaches out there would agree.....

    Yeah we should be able too

    But right now we can't, end of story

    We would have been 7-6 teams at best in the SEC and if we had an SEC scedule this year 4 losses would be a guarantee imo

    he is not talking about certain teams, but the program and its potential, with or without him......

    that is where the confusing is coming in.... as a program it can, and it has in the past..... as a program, not this team, or last years....

  • None of that ish matters. What matters are the coaches and players. I don't see the point you're trying to make.

  • OK, I haven't read anything in this thread BUT honestly outside of Bama, LSU, Arky, and 2010 Auburn........who in the SEC could FSU not have competed competitively against?

    I know

    That is why its a stupid thing to say cause everybody will take it how they want

    Jimbo does a lot of stupid crap or has in just two years

    Saying this was one of those retarded actions

    If everybody knows it like you say then why even comment on it ?

    I have had just about enough of Jimbo

    I like the guy but he is too pussy for a HC imo

    I am not trying to make any point... it isn't that harc...

    question " does FSU have the ablity to compete with the SEC. "

    answer " yes we do, with the talent in this area, with the resources provided by the school, with the passionate fan base we can compete with FSU "

    now if we are asking about this particular team the answer is yes to recruiting, and not yet on the field.... but CAN the program compete, yes with the right pieces, and as it stands we are ready to see if Jimbo can..... brt your ass if another 4 loss season happens I will be a very pissed of man, cause we can and should be competing....

    Pretty much everybody

    If we can lose to UVA and Wake we can lose to anybody in the SEC

    Its not about matching up

    Its about the week in week out grind of playing big games

    Our team is way too soft for that

    Look at OU last year, we got so beaten up we dropped the next 2 games

    Imagine if we played Bama and then had to turn around and play at Georgia and Auburn

    We would be a walking mash unit

    of course..... it is all a matter of wins, if the wins happen as you hope it does, your stance changes.....

    and it isn't like coaches don't say stupid shit all the time, that is what they are good for, a laugh...

    and you know what my point was, and Jimbo was..... you just to subborn to not get a rip in.... that is what makes you Nova, if not then we know we are being trolled

  • I just don't like the whole " we should be able to compete so that means we can "

    We should also have won the ACC the last 2 years, fact is we didn't

    We ain't no SEC team and haven't been since 2000

    Jimbo saying we can compete is just words from a coach with high expectations

  • disagree with you , think you guys can compete with anybody in the SEC except maybe LSU and alabama ...you got the talent except maybe on the OL and that will change over the next couple of years

    I think Auburn was better than us last year or at least as good

    USCe played us close and wins with a healthy Lattimore imo

    UGA would gives problems year in and year out as well

    If we were in the SEC our OL would get man handled so badly each week it wouldn't even be funny

    But the fact that we can compete in the SEC is not based on us playing Bama the beginning of the season ( we lost to Wake and I believe possibly Clemson due to injuries suffered during the OU game) I am NOT a fan that thinks that FSU is ready to take on anybody. However I do believe that last year we would have had a winning season if we would have played in the SEC. I also think that Fisher is saying that we have the talent (which we do) to compete. Please show me how this reasoning is wrong (again I recognize that we have a lot of room for improvement)

    dont think so - you were better than AU or you guys were at least close to each other and USC didnt have Lattimore so i really think that would have been a close game as well

    One game maybe

    Not week in and week out

    Its just not true

    Just cause we have talent doesn't change the fact we are very soft on offense

    Maybe that changes but until we start getting tougher the SEC would eat us alive during the course of an entire season

    are we not to have high expectations.... think you said before my expectations were to low.....

    It is very Les Miles like what he said, but I like his confidence.... it does need to translate to the field..... it is coach speak, again most coaches would agree.... and hell most coaches would probably say the same...

    he put himself out there for sure, but it is better than saying, well we just suck, and no way would be able to compete against anyone.... I think some are taking what he said way way way to serious.....

    there are several teams I feel could compete with the SEC.....

    can't disagree with any of that basing it on this team or last yeads team, but as a program itself, I say we can compete....

    based off current team, no, based on program itself ,yes we can compete

    You just don't get it

    I would prefer he says nothing and again

    Its not about a one game matchup

    Its about playing an entire SEC schedule

    If a 10-3 OU team can beat us up then Bama and LSU would beat us up so bad we might not even recover

    Remember it took two weeks and a bye and still we lost to Wake Forest

    That is how soft we are

  • FSU would be a monster in the SEC, as would Miami.

    Are you kidding me?

    No school in the nation would ever get a recruit from this state again, if all state schools played in the SEC.

    At the rate they're recruiting now, I could just imagine the increase if that move was made.

    Another factor would be that the players wouldnt have to get adjusted to rivalries. This is the thing Im most skeptical about with getting kids from outside of the southeastern region. The rivalries are new to them.

    Im speaking specifically from a program stand point.

    And for people only thinking this conference is only Bama/LSU, you all are wrong by a mile.

    dont disagree but do think that you guys could compete with just about any teams in the SEC week in and week out ; the OL would take care of itself over time and really think the Def would play anybody tough

    What does that even mean ?

    We can't compete on the field but we can recruit as well ?

    Maybe but again

    Look at OU last year

    We were at home and got flat out beaten up

    Kids leaving on stretchers, QB gone

    And afterwards we lost to clemson, had a bye and still lost to Wake after a bye

    Imagine if you replaced Clemson and Wake with say LSU and Florida

    We would be so beaten up after that and the losses would pile up real quick

    i do think that its a different game when playing an SEC team vs some of the teams in the ACC and even an OK ; no doubt that the OL has to get better over the next couple of years but the Def would keep you guys in games that your athletes on Off could possibly help you win
