Poe, I am probably going to go to hell for saying this, but a coaching change (and I do not mean just the OC, but the whole staff with the exception of Mickey.) I have been involved in countless arguements with other Nole alums over this issue, they all feel that I am on crack. But the program has been headed in the wrong direction for several years now, and I do not put all of the blame on the QB. We no longer recruit good character guys, and that falls on the coach. Making Jeff the OC was one of the many bad decisions that Bobby has made, and everyone seems to be too afraid to hold him accountable. I get absolutely disgusted when I hear people say that he should be able to coach as long as he wants. This is f--king bull----!! A job is a priveledge, not an obligation, that must be earned (and this applies to anybody working in any capacity.) I know that he is still winning is 9-10 games a year, but that is only b/c we still are able to bring in top recruits. And that alone gets us through the majority of our schedule; when the two sides are close to evenly matched with athletes, we will get outcoached 99 times out of 100.
Actually Nolefan, I feel exactly the same as you. About what 3 or so years ago, when things started to change, I was at that point starting to think that we should make a drastic change. Bobby cant be here forever and when he does leave, there will be serious turmoil. When we lost Richt and Chuck, I thought that was the time we need to make a change. Because we have not, we have struggled to recruit like in the past and have lost the swagger of the years gone by. I am a younger guy and had 3 years in tally where not only didnt we lose at home, we wasted everyone.
When the time comes for a change, we will then be set back a few years. Why not get it over with?

another link for ya,
Bobby Bowden said earlier this week that he strongly considered demoting Chris Rix and putting in another quarterback. But what about Bobby demoting his own son -- offensive coordinator Jeff Bowden -- and bringing in somebody more qualified? Have you seen the latest NCAA statistics? Florida State's offense is ranked dead last in the country -- 117 out of 117 -- after Friday night's embarrassing performance against Miami. In 2000, the year before Jeff Bowden was put in charge, Florida State's offense was ranked No. 1 in the country. Go figure. You want more statistics? Check these out: Since Baby Bowden took over, FSU's once-feared offense has sunk steadily down the NCAA rankings. In 2001, a year after former coordinator Mark Richt's offense led the nation, FSU's offense plunged to No. 26 nationally. From there, the Seminoles dropped to No. 32 in 2002 and to No. 37 last year.

IM going out on a limb here: I have to say Nole fan it please me to see fans discuss their team in a civil matter and with good knowledge. Jeff Bowden needs to be fired, they are DEAD LAST in offensive production in the NCAA -1. Chris Pix Sucks, he has his moments but just like Bowden said for every good moment he has he as 4 bad ones.FSU will do a lot better as soon as Rix leaves. They had a chance to beat UM, if they had a decent QB!
