SBNation.com‘s Richard Johnson writes that the type of problems derailing Florida State’s offense won’t be truly solved until much later down the road.
Florida State's average third down attempt is 3rd & 8 this season. Here's how it got this bad, and why it isn't likely to get better this season. https://t.co/9WKmFNPeIj

The Seminoles are largely out of options at offensive tackle.
Who though?

Best OT dismissed
2nd best OT (actually a guard) hurt
3rd best OT (also actually a guard) hurt
4th best OT transferred, didn't think he'd start in final year.
There is not anyone healthy on FSU's roster who can play tackle at ACC level.https://t.co/QOTRkEr9BB https://t.co/NLJzWSL5Lk
To those advocating for the ouster of a head coach after Year 1:
There's no legitimate on-field result that would merit a firing of any coach after just 1 season.

Could see firing an interim after two years, but other than that new coaches need three.
