Man I love Mickey
We played a very good offense. Thought their QB was more accurate than anyone he has seen. 3 TD passes were absolutely perfect.
“It was good to win, we didn’t contribute as much as you need to. I don’t remember playing against a QB that hit his targets as well as Wilson did on Saturday.”
“It was disapointing because we gave up 42 points and over 500 yards. We seem to have become comfortable with giving up too many points and too many yards and that is a grave concern.”
22 missed tackles, worst in a while.
1st down killed us. 309 yards came on 1st down. (1 for 80 1 for 60 killed )
Get 10 stops, only got 7.
Often had just 1 man out of position.
Happy that they finished each half strong.
Andrews: “We need to play smarter and with more determination. Several times we had one guy who was out of position and they made us play. We finished out the first and second half well. There is a lot of room for improvement.”

On their last TD, our db turned back when he couldn’t feel him and can’t do that.

Andrews: “We knew going in that you had to clamp onto receivers when Wilson wouls start to scramble around. That was one of the ways they scored against us by not doing what we practiced.”

On mister/dekoda package
If people would promise they wouldn’t run the football we’d do it on 1st down!

Mickey: "Somebody's just got to step up and make a play."
Reporter asks: “You mean like Korey Mangum?”
And that’s when Mickey started laughing uncontrollably.
OK, I made that up…

Coach Andrews said that the youth has been the reason for simplifying the defense
THIS IS BULL

Reporter: "Bobby says he wants you to stay here next year..."
Mickey: “Hmmm…(long pause)…we’ll probably do something on that tomorrow…”
Not sure what that means

sneaky move
That would be a sneaky move by Bowden. Convince Mickey to come back one more year, leaving no positions for Jimbo to fill and thus keeping his (Bowden’s) buddies around for one more year.

Bowden is a supervillain dude
We are dealing with Ra’s Al Ghul or Voldermort or someone. I don’t know the limits of his powers.

I don't even think Bowden meant anything by it.
I think it was a courtesy comment from one old friend to another. Also, he’s not going to say “He should go” because that opens the door for other comments about who should go…
He’s already said that Jimbo, as the future of FSU, should pick the next DC. He knows it’s coming.

Yeah that was an interesting answer from Mickey
Looking at his body language though and his response it doesn’t bode well for Mickey. Everyone knows our defense is terrible and I think this year has really taken a toll on Mickey because he loves FSU. I think the university throws a bone at the fans and gets rid of him to show at least some change is coming. Tuesday will be an interesting day for sure.
by 1newplayer on Nov 2, 2009 2:03 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Don't think the school has anything to do with it.
If anyone is throwing a bone it is MA. He knows he can’t fix the D. Trying to do it with Amato and Allen on staff is like trying to fix a sports car with Lego blocks

I agree
worded it a bit wrong. I think the announcement on his decision was moved up because of the current situation.

Quite possibly the greatest assistant coach in college football over the last two decades.
He deserves something named after him too.

Its rough seeing him go out like this. The man fielded some of the best defenses to ever grace the college gridiron.

this week is very interesting timing
as I recall, FSU’s athletic department is bound by law to advertise a position for 30 days. 30 days from tomorrow is Dec 3rd, five days after FSU’s final game this season in the worst case scenario of not qualifying for a bowl. Hmmm, methinks Mickey let someone inside the department know his plans ahead and was asked to make an announcement so the position can be filled as soon after the potential end of the season as reasonably possible, in order to start recruiting with a new staff asap.

Sit down make yourself comfortable. Wait for Ponder to pick up a first round and top 10 pick next year.

Probably not because we’re not winning.

You can hear the buzz beginning on the Atlanta radio circut
but they don’t think he should go just yet. What they’re saying on 680 the Fan is that the folks in the NFL are starting to notice him.

4-5 fumbles as well
Like Fortson drops TD against UM, then Ponder sacked and stripped on next play.
So he may be infering missed assignments

Sounds like he means that our future DC is currently employed elsewhere...
No inside knowledge here but that makes sense as anyone we hire will (hopefully) not be available until December/January (due to bowl games/maybe available in December before a bowl if their team releases them before them). I guess it doesn’t make sense to hire someone now with only 4 or 5 (depending on bowl eligibility) games left when we can probably hire someone much better after the season.

biggest thing that would bring me back next year is our potential. There is not much about individual awards. I would rather get to an ACC and National Title. When the time comes I will make that decision. We have more games ahead.
