Florida State president Richard McCullough wrote an open letter to Seminole fans today.

It says the AD search is about to begin, admits things aren't fine, and asks fans to pack Doak.

It does not mention Mike Norvell...

Georgia has cut post-practice walk-throughs and shortened its week, and Kirby Smart says the meeting room is a point of emphasis.

Worth a read for any staff considering changes to their in-season schedule.

Every coach has stood on the sideline and wondered why a player isn’t giving full effort. Angela Duckworth offers a better question.
High performers carry four thoughts at once: this is interesting, this is important, I can do this, and I know what to try next. If even one of them is missing, full effort goes with it.

That changes where we look. A player coasting through a drill may not lack heart at all. They may not see where it shows up in a game, or they may have run out of things to try. Two of those four thoughts are almost entirely in our hands, through how we pitch the challenge and what we say after the rep.

This card helps you find the missing thought before you reach for “work harder,” which answers none of them. Print it, keep it on the clipboard, and the next time a drill goes flat, ask which one is missing.

Curious who the @MHSAA relies on for legal counsel.

Anyone know?

@nate_albaugh The product @CoachJacksonTPW has developed, awarding Madden scores for kids based on weight room numbers and other criteria has been a game changer for us.

Had to dig this up from a couple years ago.

Progress has been made. We now have a seeding system that sets up the best hypothetical matchups in later rounds, and a point system that promotes/encourages schools to play quality competition, specifically out of conference.

[Doug Samuels 🏈 @CoachSamz]

Looking forward to the opportunity to play another week with our guys.

NC State AD Boo Corrigan said last October he didn’t believe in firing coaches mid-year.

Less than 24 hours after a loss to Stanford, NC State has decided to move on from Dave Doeren after 14 seasons.

When you lock in a playoff spot and before the matchups get announced you take your wife for a quick getaway to pamper her with spa time, the northern Michigan fall colors, and this view.
