FSU football made one of its most anticipated hires Friday when it was reported the ‘Noles would hire Michigan State’s co-defensive coordinator Harlon Barnett as its own defensive coordinator.
It’s a hire fans have been anticipating for two years with their frustration for former defensive coordinator Charles Kelly being well known.
Barnett is a name not known by many casual FSU fans or those that don’t follow the sport closely.
However, it appears Barnett is one of the most respected coaches in the country and the ‘Noles got him for a steal at nearly one million dollars per year.
