A Q-and-A with Florida State offensive coordinator James Coley

Coinciding with Bud's multi-part series covering the QB'S, the WR's, and the RB's, Andrew Carter post some of the answers Coach Coley gave on these topics, and more, such as:

-Devonta Freeman's early recruiting process.

-Areas of attention or improvement the team is addressing this offseason.

-How the strength and conditioning program has affected the team, with some players mentioned specifically.

-How the WR's have progressed to the next level this offseason.

-If the staff plans on curtailing the designed runs by EJ Manuel and the QB backup situation.

-How the staff killed it this last year in recruiting.

Joyner up to 195# and Smith/Haulstead losing weight?

love joyner at 195 -

Haulstead losing weight must have been because of a flexibility issue

Didn't think of that

I was wondering why he would have needed to lose weight (if intentional)

I don't

believe any of those weights are remotely accurate….

I believe that is a very real possibility

Thought it was just Haulstead.

Trickett “up to” 190…

Don’t see him ever being our starter.

MiNDSET? SWAG-ER-ISM!!!

I love his answer to the last question. Also it’s interesting that he mentioned QB’s usually get hurt after a pass not on a designed run, weird, but true.

I remember this being discussed a few weeks back in regards to Ponder.

something tells me an

I remember

Moody tweeting or posting on facebook last season that the coaches told him to quit having sex until his groin injury healed. Heh.

Coker talk

makes me less concerned about a 2012 QB prospect. Not that we dont need one and/or shouldnt go get one. But just because Coker wasnt a big name during the recruiting cycle doesnt mean he cant be a big time player. Well see.

Its just frickin exciting to read Coley talking, much less hear it. Need to keep this guy around as long as possible.

Yep

I also kind of like that Coker is an all-state basketball player. That kind of agility is… sort of awesome for a quarterback.

Coley is the man

I’m really excited to see what Jared Haggins has in store for us this year. His name is continuously coming up.

You know the real Q and A was more like a fight between crackheads over tinfoil a lighter and 20$.

Q: When recruiting Devonta Freeman, what did you as a staff see in him that other schools didn’t in the early going?
A: Can you hear the DRUMS? Get ready for your WARRIORS!!!!!! FEAR THE SPEAR!!!!!!!!!

Q: What are some areas of attention, or improvement, the team would like to address this offseason?
A: SPEAR-Phobia – It’s REAL!

Q: You and the staff killed it on the recruiting trail. How have you been able to do it?
A: By popular demand my exact location is……………….. EVERYWHERE – Fear The Spear!
