FSU Football: It’s (Almost) Time To Move On From Charles Kelly

Stop me if you’ve heard this story before: FSU football, in their win on Saturday, gave up over 30 points in the game – this time, surrendering 35 points to the USF Bulls. For those scoring at home, that’s the ninth time that has happen since the 2014 season started.

Nine times in the last 31 games. Nearly a third of the time.

What is the one common denominator in the last 31 games? The defense surrendering those points has been led by their coordinator since the 2014 season, Charles Kelly.

Kelly arrived in Tallahassee before the national championship season of 2013 as the linebackers coach before moving to the coordinator spot and moving to coach the defensive backs individually.
