    Quality. Quantity. Quandary. | FSU Signs a Big Class Amid Big Uncertainty

    Florida State landed a large 2026 signing class. ✅ 32 total signees ✅ A potential quarterback of the future in Jaden O’Neal From a pure numbers standpoint, this class checks the Quantity box. But is the Quality there? And even if it is: Can this class (or any future class) thrive in the current state of the program?  • The current coaching staff hasn't come close to delivering on The Standard.  • The whole football operation is about to undergo major restructuring: Allegedly.  • And financial pressures — from NIL to facilities — are adding complexity to FSU’s next chapter Garnet & Old takes a step back to ask:  • Is this a class built to compete — or to stabilize?  • Can a Norvell staff develop these players amid instability?  • And will the program’s long-term prospects live up to its elite legacy? The numbers are solid. The talent remains to be seen. But the quandary lies in everything off the field. 👉🏼 Like the conversation? 🔔 Subscribe for more FSU insight, honest takes, and weekly Nole talk. 📣 Join the tribe — stay informed.

    Going Our Own Way? | FSU Coaching Rumors Swirl Ahead of Wake Homecoming

    🎙️ Whispers in the wind… or smoke before the fire? OH DADDY, have we been having DREAMS of a new FSU Football era...and they DON'T STOP. We're pretty sure all of the RUMOURS are SECOND HAND NEWS, but if the Noles really are considering a Jimbo 2.0, we can already hear VCNole shouting I DON'T WANT TO KNOW. He would much prefer NEVER GOING BACK AGAIN. Everyone is already fully aware of BigPapEast's take... This week, the Garnet & Old boys are diving into the latest FSU coaching carousel rumors — who’s being linked to where, why it’s probably nonsense, and what it means for Norvell & Co. as the Noles prep for a sleepy but sentimental homecoming game vs Wake Forest. We break it all down tonight! Get your shawls and spirit fingers ready — we're looking to MAKE STREAMING FUN... 👍🏼Like, ✍🏻Subscribe, 🔔Hit the Bell ... and join the conversation! #FSUFootball #FSUPodcast #GarnetandOld #CollegeFootball #MikeNorvell #CoachingRumors #GoNoles #FSUvsWake  #FireUpTheSpears #Homecoming2025 #FleetwoodMac #MickFleetwood #StevieNicks Support the show CONNECT AND SUPPORT THE SHOW! ========== ✅VENMO: https://venmo.com/garnetandold 🗓️MONTHLY SUPPORT: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1794263/support https://twitter.com/Garnet_Old https://www.facebook.com/GarnetandOld https://www.instagram.com/garnetandold/ https://twitter.com/BigPapaEast https://twitter.com/vcnole ========== LIVE from the Captain Black Studios! https://www.captainblacksfishing.com/ https://www.facebook.com/PanamaCityFishingCharters

    HOLDING PATTERN | Why is FSU not making the call on the Norvell Era?

    Are we flying toward greatness, in final descent, or circling the tarmac with extra peanuts and no landing gear? Florida State’s 2025 season hasn’t been a crash landing… but it sure ain’t clear skies either. With Coach Mike Norvell steering the program into more turbulence, why hasn’t FSU cut bait? In this week’s episode, VCNole and BigPapaEast unpack the program's holding pattern:  • Why the admin is waiting  • What signs they’re looking for  • Who else is circling (👀 Franklin, Fisher, Deion rumors won’t die)  • How this impacts recruiting, NIL, and the looming ACC divorce papers Is Norvell still the guy? Or are we politely stalling while checking other pilot résumés? 💬 Spend some time on this FSU Bye Week with Garnet & Old! 👍🏼Like, ✍🏻Subscribe, 🔔Hit the Bell ... and join the conversation! #FSUFootball #FSUPodcast #GarnetandOld #CollegeFootball #GoNoles #SeminoleStruggles #NorvellEra #FSUCoachSearch #CollegeFootball #Noles #HoldingPattern #GoNoles  Support the show CONNECT AND SUPPORT THE SHOW! ========== ✅VENMO: https://venmo.com/garnetandold 🗓️MONTHLY SUPPORT: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1794263/support https://twitter.com/Garnet_Old https://www.facebook.com/GarnetandOld https://www.instagram.com/garnetandold/ https://twitter.com/BigPapaEast https://twitter.com/vcnole ========== LIVE from the Captain Black Studios! https://www.captainblacksfishing.com/ https://www.facebook.com/PanamaCityFishingCharters
