Speaking last weekend after his team’s regional-clinching win over the UCF Knights, Florida State Seminoles head coach Link Jarrett didn’t mince words when talking about the start of his Tallahassee tenure.
“Last year, it was what it was. There was little we could do, zero we could do...it was as bad as it gets.”
Coming over from Notre Dame, the one-time Seminoles ballplayer inherited a mess, leading to FSU missing the postseason for the first time in over 40 seasons and finishing under .500 for the first time ever.
A once proud program was in disarray, at its absolute lowest just a few years removed from being the standard of the sport.
