Florida State is suddenly rolling with recruiting. Are the Seminoles placing their cash into recruiting instead of saving it to buy out Mike Norvell and the coaching staff? Let’s also discuss the newest FSU commitment, defensive end Franklin Whitley. He has some serious upside. @fbscout_florida  Support us by supporting our sponsors!

Florida State must confuse not just quarterback Cade Klubnik, but the Clemson receivers, tight ends and running backs. That’s what Tony White’s defense is designed to do, and I will explain why it’s more likely when FSU travels to Death Valley. Pay particular attention to the first five to 10 minutes of this game. Do the Seminoles create a pass rush to further cause issues for Klubnik? I explain w...

Florida State added two commitments: Chris Carbin being the first on Sunday, while Daylen Green committed today. The Seminoles may not be done. I explain why a third verbal commitment could be on its way. Support us by supporting our sponsors! Peloton Let yourself run, lift, flex, and push forward.

Auburn's firing of Hugh Freeze impacts Florida State in multiple ways, including how it adds another big-name school to the list of openings FSU will eventually compete against. I also break down how FSU’s administration cannot sit on its hands and wait. The longer Mike Norvel is employed, the harder it will be for the Noles to get the right coach. And that’s just the beginning of the possible iss...

After Florida dominated Wake Forest, should the Seminoles be trusted to play well the rest of the 2025 season? I give my takes on the defense and the offense.

Florida State came out focused, played with passion, and overwhelmed Wake Forest. I am going to tell you why this shocked me, but also made me happy. There were awesome comments from the chat about the Noles, as well as why Mike Norvell should still be fired. X @LO_Seminoles  Support us by supporting our sponsors!

Florida State athletic director Michael Alford has been defending Mike Norvell, and not just a little bit. I explain why this trend is a bad sign for changing the direction of the FSU football program. Whether Tommy Castellanos or Kevin Sperry start for the Noles, there’s no doubt they should beat Wake Forest. Question is, will the Seminoles be motivated? I give my final score prediction.

Florida State’s Tommy Castellanos has been fighting through multiple injuries. If he’s ready to play, will freshman signal-caller Kevin Sperry still earn playing time? Does Wake Forest know how to prepare for the young passer? Looking at the ACC schedule and examining the teams overall, it’s a league with many questions and not many answers. I explain why FSU fans need to look at the overall ACC s...

Florida State’s fans went off about recent Florida performances, and that’s not all. The Nole faithful have plenty to say about the administrative decisions and more. I also dive into the statistics for a surprisingly good Wake Forest defense. FSU needs to be mentally ready play. X @LO_Seminoles  Support us by supporting our sponsors!

If Florida State’s Tommy Castellanos isn’t available versus Wake Forest, how do the Seminoles play? Will the other players rally around true freshman quarterback Kevin Sperry? I have a different view than most on the subject. Speaking of motivation, will FSU’s defense tee-off on a young Wake Forest quarterback making his third start?

If LSU fires Brian Kelly as expected, it decreases the chances of Florida State firing Mike Norvell. Why? I break down several reasons, including how Kelly’s LSU replacement will push coaching prices higher. Will FSU balk at paying big money for a new coach so it decides to keep Norvell?  X @LO_Seminoles  Support us by supporting our sponsors! Quo See why over 90,000 businesses trust Quo, formerly...

While everyone who honestly enjoys watching and listening to Locked On Seminoles wants to see Mike Norvell’s replacement be an A-list coach, it’s rare for truly elite coaches to switch college jobs. I explain why FSU will likely end up with an up-and-coming coaching candidate. What should Seminoles fans expect from this point forward? I give my take on which college football coaches could make a s...

The ACC is shaping up to be wild in 2025 after an important week eight slate.

Florida State’s impending coaching search could lead to current Syracuse head coach Fran Brown. He’s one of college football’s fastest rising stars, especially with recruiting and the passing game. Speaking of recruiting, Florida State’s class is currently really good. If the Noles hire a new coach quickly after dismissing Mike Norvell, the next head coach would have really good young players to w...

Florida State’s Tony discussed receiving death threats via social media. Really? People are resorting to sending FSU coaching staff members death threats? This is crazy! Need to discuss Florida State having earned good news on the recruiting trail, Charlie Ward being honored, and what’s next for the coaching search.

Florida State football enters a critical time to eventually replace Mike Norvell (it’s obvious Norvell is getting canned).

Florida State’s Mike Norvell has a major problem with the team. He’s losing it, if you will, per a member of the media. I discuss how Norvell’s situation could fester and even impact FSU’s next head coach. The good news? Florida State’s impending coaching search has names you may not think about right away, but would be excellent fits for the Seminoles. Today is the beginning of a series of coachi...

On Monday, Florida State failed by releasing a statement that a “Comprehensive assessment” would be made on Mike Norvell. I Bluntly explained why that was a failure. I also defined what FSU is up against by waiting to fire Norvell.  X @LO_Seminoles  Support us by supporting our sponsors! Quo See why over 90,000 businesses trust Quo, formerly OpenPhone.

Florida State’s offensive matchup with Stanford includes very enviable one-on-one situations for the Noles’ receivers and tight ends. Now, will Florida State be able to take full advantage because of injuries? I also discuss the long-term reality of FSU’s big boosters buying all the way in this offseason, even if they are upset if Norvell is retained. It’s a touchy subject. X @LO_Seminoles  Suppor...

Florida State’s road trip to Stanford includes unique matchups, and the statistics tell the tale. I break down the players and situations FSU fans need to know before the Noles play the Cardinal. There is some good news to discuss on the injury front. FSU will need it, as it’s been a mash unit at certain positions. X @LO_Seminoles  Support us by supporting our sponsors!
