There are certainly differences in the situations Dabo Sweeney and Ed Orgeron inherited, but this article by Andy Staples provides a argument for Odell Haggins as FSU’s new head coach. Plus, Bud Elliot provides some context on, while the move may not be successful, it could make sense for the Seminoles:
I think it's kinda crazy if you expect it to work. But if you looked at it as managing downside risk as an alternative to paying full freight for a disappointing Plan C candidate at a time where you have a lame duck prez/AD who the new admin will want to change out, not crazy. https://t.co/B3riasAjfy

Right. I’m not suggesting hire him if James Franklin wants the job. But if you’re about to drop $6.5 million a year on Mark Stoops with 75 percent of the deal guaranteed, consider that you might have the same chance of things working long-term without the long-term financial risk https://t.co/lf5huDpUSV

Florida has pulled ahead of FSU and Miami. I expect that to hold.
But the in-state schools are tied with the out-of-state schools, I think that shifts a lot in Dec.https://t.co/tkJcrxb8SJ pic.twitter.com/bW2KqiMDHD

In case you missed it, FSU Hoops extended their win streak to 5 with a dominant win over Chicago State. The ’Noles are hitting their stride, but the competition is about to increase drastically.
In that win, FSU’s bench went off for 64 points, more than nearly half the teams in action on Monday night scored in total.
The win streak FSU Hoops in currently riding has seen them climb in bracketology projections, the latest of which has them in a familiar spot.
