In the hours that led up to FSU football‘s game against Northern Illinois this past Saturday, you would have thought the Seminoles had lost all three of their games by 20+ points to FCS foes with the way the pundits and so called “experts” were burying the Noles and their new head coach, Willie Taggart.
From College GameDay to online outlets, Taggart was being called everything from overrated to unprepared with some wondering if the clock was already started on finding a new coach – literally three games into the first season.
At the same time, the name of Nebraska’s new winless head coach (Scott Frost) was mentioned for maybe a tenth of the time as the FSU football leader while UCLA head coach Chip Kelly wasn’t even mentioned other than conversations bashing the father of a Bruins quarterback who expressed his opinion about that team’s O-3 start (granted, UCLA didn’t play Saturday).
