After a historic fall; historic turnover is needed. Let new leaders rise from the ashes.
But the biggest news of the day was the reported hiring of Herb Hand as offensive line coach; a decorated coach with an extensive background coaching offensive line in the Big 12 and the SEC.
As for why it might’ve taken longer than expected with Gus and Hand together at their last stop? I don’t think it was a coincidence that FSU was able to announce Hand as offensive line coach after Frost was announced as UCF coach.
Recruiting:
The transfer portal is an accelerated process and you can expect many visitors with some as early as this week; they could include but are not limited to:
James Williams defensive line (Nebraska)
Jimari Butler defensive line (Nebraska)
Marcellus Marshall offensive line (UCF)
Thomas Castellanos quarterback (Boston College)\

Derwin James has played at a very high level under Jesse Minter’s defense in the last month:
Travis Kelce ran 10 routes against man coverage last night. He did not have a catch on any of those snaps. He was not even targeted. Derwin James was in coverage on all 10 routes. pic.twitter.com/cOdoNighUD
