Fulmer is nearly 70 years old. What if he is and we just haven’t figured out yet. I will always love Coach Fulmer because he has brought the only Natty of my lifetime, but let’s face it Fulmer wasn’t good at hiring assistants, which led to his downfall.

Fulmer was loyal to some pretty bad assistants too.

The only hire that was blocked was freeze and that was at multiple levels. And to say blocked is a stretch. I would say we “backed off as a whole”. Briles was just a no Bc he wanted to bring 2 assistants. That’s not happening. That’s it. Yurcich is the focus. He’s the only candidate left that we have vetted and really looked into and dug into his background

Huge stretch because there was nothing to block.
 
Speaking of FSU, someone on TOS posted this from a mod on the Warchant site:

Tuesday, 11:30 a.m. - Despite some "reports" to the contrary, Kendal Briles being hired as FSU's offensive coordinator is not official yet. In fact, was told there could be some things holding up the deal. Not going to speculate on what those holdups could be but it does signal that there's a chance that this may not go through.

Now, I still won't be surprised if we get word any minute that a contract has been signed but for the first time since the weekend there's a real concern that Briles to FSU may not happen. So if the deal falls through, what's next?

If Briles isn't the guy, we've been told it's more than likely FSU won't hire an offensive coordinator anytime soon. In fact, it may not happen until after the bowl games are wrapped up. If what we are hearing about the potential delay in a hire is accurate, it doesn't seem like Larry Fedora is very high up on Willie Taggart's wish list for OC.

Sorry to rain on the parade of people that thought this was completely wrapped up and that Briles would be a great hire. Still think there's a decent chance it gets worked out, and that Briles is hired, but just warning our readers that this isn't as open and shut as some are saying.

Boy that all sounds real familiar.
