Fire Bowden? How About Fire Mickey?
Sure, Bobby Bowden could have spared himself all this grief by retiring gracefully a few years ago. But why isn’t once-vaunted defensive coordinator Mickey Andrews being blamed just as lustily for FSU’s slide into mediocrity? Just askin’.

I think Mickey is a great coordinator, an argument can be made that he is one dimensional. he defenses can only blitz. Does he have the personnel to run the blitz package? the front four isn’t the front four of the mid 90 to late 90′s.
Good points Crock. I think it’s a combination of two things. 1. His schemes have not kept up with the latest offensive wrinkles, and 2. FSU definitely does not have the personnel they had in the past. Put it together, and I think a call for change in Tallahassee is long overdue, though as a Gator I do not mind FSU’s slip into mediocrity. I will say one thing: Christian Ponder is a great quarterback who I think has a chance to make an impact in the NFL.
