In the first two games of the FSU football program’s 2010 season under their first year head coach, the Seminoles had a 1-1 record that included a blowout win over Samford and a 30 point loss to Oklahoma. In 1976, legendary head coach Bobby Bowden started off his Seminoles tenure with three losses by a combined 92-21, including a 47 point beatdown by rival Miami.
Former coach Darrell Mudra lost his first eight games in the 1974 season while Bill Peterson, who was the original success story as a FSU football head coach, went 3-6-1 his first season before going 9-1-1 just four seasons later.
