IQ is overrated. Change my mind.
Elite academia is full of people with very high IQs, but who are exposed to an exceptionally narrow range of perspectives. This helps explain the extreme discomfort many faculty display toward people who hold ideas that are even slightly different from their own.

Funny how maligned I was for supporting Norvell as our coach and now the folks suffering from NDS are coming out of the woodwork saying how much they respect Norvell. Thats nice, ain’t it?

This DESTROYED FSU football and also Norvell’s career at FSU.

Here’s three names I d like to see come in and lead a resurgence of FSU football: Jimbo, Deion, and Manny Diaz.

Manny Diaz as DC but with inside track for HC once Jimbo steps aside. His success at Duke and even with UM mean he can coach and his defense would be an obvious upgrade.

Build a dream team staff, and get talent to return. Spend money. FSU will be back quick.

I wish Mike Norvell the best. He was an inspiration to me as he led our program out of a dark place and through some rough times. He leads the right wa and made me proud to be a Nole.

Destruere celeriter et facile est; aedificare lente et difficile. To destroy is quick and easy. To build is slow and difficult. #Latine #LatinFluency
Destroying things is quick and easy. Creating things is slow and difficult.
