However I agree with everything you said above. Willie did not do a good job of game planning or GMing (roster wise) to try to account for such a bad oline. Many who defend Willie will say there is nothing he can do (some words famously uttered by Dirk Koetter last year) but I beg to differ... 1st Move is no long pass routes unless you can back the D off with playaction (which we could not since we did not have a QB who could run the RPO) Which leads to 2nd choose a QB who has a quick release so Blackman or Hockman would have faired better as they get the ball out much quicker than DF. 3rd would be install under the center down blocking running plays... Running out of the shotgun just doesn't work if the Dline penetrates to the QB every play 4th would have been to do away with the WR screens that he seemed to run far too frequently because our WR's either didn't care to or could not block for one another.

I thought the thread was going to be about high school programs, lol.

Plus Bear did not have to recruit or play against black athletes... Just sayin LOL

Parent thing. If Bowden was still there and successful, I'm sure his parents would have had no issue with FSU.

that's completely different than being a better coach. Bear's Legacy will never be surpassed at Bama just like Bowdens will not at FSU. Just so you know Bear Bryant also coached at another SEC team before Bama. Your first point is irrelevant.

LOL I don't think folks today...kids or parents...can fully appreciate some of the older coaches like Bowden, Osborne and Bryant. Honestly, I don't think Bobby would be nearly as effective today as he was in the past. There is simply a different value set today. Bobby came across to folks as very sincere, and it helped him sell FSU. Today, I think many would question that sincerity. Folks are getting more and more cynical. It's as if some expect college coaches to be Type A, cutthroat businessmen, and if they don't act that way, there must be something wrong with them.

The Jajuan Seider effect

If you did not personally watch the games then you honestly cannot comment if your just gong off of posts tweets from friends. This FSU oline has been HORRENDOUS since 14 the year after the title. Dalvin Cook can run behind swiss cheese and made them look better than they were but the line has been bad. One year we actually only signed 1 count em ONE olinemen who isn't even with the team anymore when you need to bring in at least 3 or 4 every year.

I stand by fact that bear Bryant is a better bama coach than saban
