when will chris rix transfer?

it's got to be soon.

the team hates him. the fans hate him. he's not a good quarterback.

it's time for him to switch positions (receiver? cornerback?) or switch schools.

for the record, i'm glad fsu is losing. this program needs an enema and they won't get one without losing first.

 

Think Bowden goes along with him? I don't think they'll get any good successors in from here on out and the guys who would have been candidates are now coaching elsewhere.

Rix? He's not terrible. He's not very good, but he's not really horrible, either, and he's not the reason they're not winning. Well, he's one of the reasons. Guess they can't recruit the best ends, receivers, linemen, linebackers, and corners every year, but they've had a couple of ass years. Your mention of a good cleaning out suggests that maybe it's time for new blood?

 

He's young, Larry. In years past, he wouldn't be starting yet.

I think yall problems have less to do with Rix and more to do with a bad defense and little consistancy on offense. Your offense isn't playing up to their skill level. Sort of like TN, without the injuries.

 

rix is a huge part of the problem -- internally. players just don't like him. he's cocky without being able to back it up. he doesnt trust his receivers or backs. he just hasnt progressed. this was his 20th start.

weinke knew he wasn't the playmaker. hell, all fsu qbs have known that. they are just the triggermen -- its their job to get the ball to the backs and receivers and let THEM make the plays.

rix thinks he's the best player on the field and that he can make EVERY play. everyone boos him for running instead of waiting for receivers to get open.

rix won't be a good quarterback until he learns to be humble, listen and be a part of a TEAM.

 

oh, and the defense is horrid.

i'm sick and tired of getting the "top-rated" recruits. all hype. no substance.

 

Top rated recruits never seemed to hurt for that ten year run. There's not as much talent coming in, there's not as much coaching talent behind Bowden. Think you might be touching on what I was saying with Bowden?

 

oh, there's a TON of problems right now and i've gone over most of them before:

* lack of leadership (from players and coaches)

* bowden's getting old (lost his competitive edge, coaches not to lose)

* lack of quality recruits (miami never gets the top-rated guys, but they get PLAYERS)

* lack of good coaching (amato was the glue that bridged the age gap between players and coaches)

* players (and fans and coaches) think that they are good enough to beat anyone.

* lack of a good heirarchy of playcalling -- QB coach darryl dickey calls the plays, OC jeff bowden has veto power and HC bobby bowden has veto over jeff. too many cooks in the kitchen.

i'd love to have a guy like stoops. young, driven, hard-nosed.

something's going to happen in the next couple of years. it'll be big because bowden will be out. i just don't wnat to wait as long as alabama did to recover.

from what i've heard, bowden is recommending amato to be his sucessor and amato doesn't particulary like bowden's boys.

fine by me.

 

What happened to FSU? Losing Amato and Richt is what happened to FSU.

 

i'm ready to get a whole new set of young coaches in there.

let's get the rebuilding started.

 

responing to the rix issue, i remember the first year watching him play carolina. the whole game the announcers were saying that rix was raw and needed time to develop. well, hes had time to develop. i think he might have a touch of the chris sims desease... you know "dissapearforbiggameitus". i dont like fsu or bowden, but i do like the acc and we need powerhouses bad in the acc and it would be a shame if florida state fell off the map.
