Tomahawk Notes 12.07.10

CHARLOTTE NC - DECEMBER 04:  EJ Manuel #3 of the Florida State Seminoles drops back to pass against the Virginia Tech Hokies during their game at Bank of America Stadium on December 4 2010 in Charlotte North Carolina.  (Photo by Streeter Lecka/Getty Images)

-Miami lost commitment Teddy Bridgewater.  Most expect Bridgewater to eventually re-commit to the Canes, but as of now Miami has only four commitments, one of which isn't expected to qualify.  Only one of Miami's remaining commitments is desired by the 'Noles or Gators.  The 'Canes really need a bit of a miracle at this point and there is a distinct chance that the 'Canes' new coach will have a much better 2011 than 2012 or 2013 due to last year's poor recruiting and this year's sinkhole class.  There are some rumors of Will Muschamp to Miami, which would be an incredible hire for the Canes, but those have been debunked.  

UM has suspended

 most recruiting activity until a new coach is hired, athletic director Kirby Hocutt said after Shannon's firing. A recruiting weekend scheduled to begin on Friday has been canceled by UM.

"If Miami gets a [Mississippi State coach Dan] Mullen or [Texas Tech coach Tommy] Tuberville, they will still be a program to watch but if they have to settle for a smaller name guy, it could spell trouble," Rivals.com recruiting analyst Mike Farrell wrote recently regarding UM's 2011 freshman class.

-This article is quite hilarious.  Clemson coach Dabo Swinney actually pulled the "if we had a kicker we'd be 9-3 and division champs instead of 6-6." card.  He neglected to mention his poor offense coaching and squandering of one of the best defenses in the country.

-FSU bowl swag:  $250 gift card to best buy, some Chick-Fil-A, a cap, and a bag.  

Florida State Seminoles provide glimpse into future in ACC title game loss

-I am not confident that Ponder will play the bowl game, nor Datko who likely needs shoulder surgery on at least one of his shoulders.  Rodney Hudson has been in a walking boot for a while now and I am not sure if he needs rest or surgery.  If it is surgery I think the honorable thing to do would be to let him go under the knife now to make sure he is ready for the senior bowl.  He's given FSU so many great games.  If he needs a surgery with a recovery time necessitating that he miss a meaningless bowl game in order to play in the senior bowl at 100%, I hope he gets it.  

-I believe FSU will be the home team for the Chick-Fil-A bowl, which means the home uniforms.  Last year VT wore white against Tennessee.

-Cam Wade is graduating this Friday.  Congrats to #87 on that degree.

Was just going to post this

I could never see Muschamp leaving for Miami. After having the money and attitude from the administration to give a program everything it could dream of why step down to go to Miami. Especially since the money will be comparable and you are next in line to take over at Texas? With Mullen and Harbaugh working on extensions and Tubberville saying he hasn’t been contacted looks like Miami won’t get a splashy hire. This year is already a lost cause for them, and a guy like Edsall or Golden will have to work his tail off to pull a monster class next year with Fisher and Meyer breathing down his neck.

Miami needs to make a SPLASH with a big coaching name, but all the big names are staying put…. One name everyone probably hasn’t thought about that would reveal BB true feelings about JIMBO…… " Terry Bowden" that would shake things up!!!!!!

by lawj on Dec 8, 2010 12:23 AM EST via mobile up reply actions  

Not a big name at all

Terry has been out of football too long to impress kids and the Bowden name means nothing to them because more of their football watching lives Bobby wasn’t doing anything. Saw a rumor that Miami has made some sort of contact with both Mullen and Tubberville. Of the two of them I think Tubbs would be more likely to jump since he is a known mercenary and isn’t in line for a better job in a year or two.

I’d be fine with them getting Tubbs. He has a big enough name to make them stretch themselves money wise but isn’t as good a recruiter as he once was and is known for having a poor offense lately.

by osceolafan2.0 on Dec 8, 2010 9:30 AM EST up reply actions  

muschamp would be an idiot

to leave a program w/inflated expectations, but w/the means to meet those expectations (or at least come very close), for a program w/inflated expectations, but w/out the means to meet them. Think about it, from the #1 recruiting class in the nation to a school w/4 recruits? no chance.

I agree

Players needing surgery should go ahead and get it. Ponder Hudson to the NFL and Datko healthy next season are what counts now.

and they both need to be healthy for the senior bowl and the combine

Ponder has some climbing to do after the season he’s had with production with injuries. Hudson is smallish (6’2", sub 300lb), and he needs to avoid any knocks (like injury or getting beat while playing hurt) to convince a team to draft him higher than some of the bigger guys available. the competitor in them wants to play, but the cooler head should prevail and hold them out if they arent at least 90% without significant risk of further issues.

however, that wont stop me from going anyway (already got my tix, 13 rows from the field). i want to see my team play in a good bowl, and i think EJ can take advantage of USC’s crappy pass D. rolling him to the right would alleviate the hole in the line if Hudson didnt play. and be honest, if our DL wasnt so gassed, we played well enough on offense to win that ACCCG. offense isnt the problem. EJ isnt Ponder just yet, but he should still outplay USC’s secondary, and he’s better Garcia by miles. this matchup on pass offense doesnt bother me that much.

I guess you could say Clemson

is one kicker away. Sounds familiar? LOL!!!

Yup, one kicker away

from having a terrible offense and a good kicker.

He has a sign in his office (on his desk?) that I saw Terry Bowden say in an article.

Apparently it’s a Bowden thing. When I found out the Bowden’s also used that saying, I knew Swinney was nothing to fear.

There is nothing less important than the score at halftime.

It doesn't make sense. I'd think the halftime score would be very important. But what do I know?

Meh

It’s worded a bit strangely, but I get the point – you have to finish the game. No matter how big the lead is, there’s just as much time in the second half as there was in the first, meaning theoretically the opponent could score as much (or more) as you did in the first.

You can be “undefeated” in first halves and never win a game, so finish it.

I completely understand if they hold CP out.

We don’t want to risk his long term future. I would love to see his final game as a Nole in person though.

Actually, after so

I’m a little more concerned w/sitting datko and Hudson. All we need is for EJ to miss his 3rd spring practice in a row because he got killed playing behind an OL made up of 3 reserves.

Actually, after some more thought,

Not saying we still shouldn’t let Hudson get healthy, but we better leave Lonnie Pryor back there as EJ’s personal protector

I wish the Chick-fil-A Bowl gave USC players Foot Locker gift cards

Just to spite the Old Ball Coach and thousands of toothless Gator fans who still talk about “Free Shoes University.”

unless you want to literally "click clack" everywhere

you have to buy your shoes for the sum of $0.00 from your neighborhood Foot Locker

So does Wade's graduation mean a free scholarship?

He’d be a RS-Senior next year and to the best of my knowledge he has never seen the field for a meaningful snap.

I tend to think so.

I remember when BushidoNole said he was a better version of Greg Carr......

Who had just as good hands and could actually run routes……I am glad he was able to earn his degree and I wish him the best in his future endeavors but he was just not good enough to play on scholarship at FSU.

I don't remember that but unless he's posting somewhere with a new username (highly likely imo), he completely disappeared into the abyss.

That article isn't going to help

Uninformed fans might read it and think that this season was a failure because we didn’t win the ACCCG.
Don’t care for it…nope, not one bit.

What?

This team will improve in '10... on its 16-16 conference record over the last 4 years.... after losing 20 games in the last 4 years... after having the 7th worst major-conference defense... after not even winning its own division in the ACC in the last 4.
