Damien Craig?

  • Not sure if this has been discussed already,but I heard Bill King say Craig is interested in going to Auburn?If so the coaching turnover in tallacrappy is worse than what we had in '09.I just wonder is there is something under the surface brewing that is not out there yet?

  • AU claims he's interviewing, no confirmation yet

    I know for realz, FSU was terrible at recruiting before Craig showed up

    Im not sure how FSU ever recovers from losing an assistant QB coach

    I mean the guy is single handily responsible for EJ Manuel, clearly he is the tits at coaching and recruiting

    Without Craig we lose to NC State by at least 3 maybe 4 more points imo

  • Craig's possible departure combined with Stoops, Elliot, AND Gran hurts the Semis recruiting without a doubt. Any Semi who says it doesn't if foolish. Those four comprise most (not all) of their best recruiters. Wonder why so many are leaving at one time? Usually it just one maybe two coaches in a given year.

    Maybe cause they are good coaches who are all getting raises or going to alma maters in this case

    Replacing them will be beyond easy and Im willing to bet it barely effects recruiting if at all

    Only idiots pick schools for coaches these days, especially assistants that do nothing but hold Jimbo's water bottles or catch passes from QB's while they warm up for practice

  • Our best guy at actually landing the players is Odell haggins. If you don't believe me take a look at the dt on the roster. Craig only hurts in Alabama which I promise you will be resolved with the hirings.

    Correct, and Dawsey would easily be the second best recruiter on staff followed by Coley

    I salute all the coaches that are leaving, say thanks for accomplishing close to nothing while at FSU and wish them well

    FSU will move on and hopefully be much better off

    Eliot was the only one who actually produced in terms of coaching his players

    Stoops flat out stunk, and Craig did nothing in terms of coaching..... literally nothing

    But he did help FSU sign 4 kids from Alabama so god forbid we lose that kind of recruiting advantage, I mean no way we win the ACC and lose at home to Florida with Casher, Shanks, and Winston redshirting and Coker at 3rd string QB... its simply doesn't happen

    I mean, how do you replace this ? somebody please tell me

    You won't but keep dreaming, kid will be a Cane or Nole

    But if he does pick UF, it will be funny watching him beat out Kelvin Taylor with ease

    Pretty sure the guy you are thinking of is Haggins, since he was responsible for landing both of those kids

    And I remember him getting excited for Jernigan and Goldman, can't remember his reaction for Darby

    Recruting is all about relationships with coaches along with the school,and depth chart.If you think you guys didn't land some prospects due to our coaching turnover you are fooling yourself.Relationships with positional coaches is a big deal to these kids,and James Winiston was recruited hard by Craig,and if he was not on your staff he is Tuscaloosa,or Auburn.

    Love how he gives up 37 twice at home, and that ACC numbers are vastly over-rated due to pathetic schedules

    But now FSU has the #1 defense in america, even though its #2

    Stoops doesn't suck, but irreplaceable ? no, he isn't

    He will be replaced and FSU will likely be better off

    Stoops defense couldn't force a turnover to save its life

    how many Al kids would you have without Craig's relationship? Odell is a beast but he's not getting in door in Al. Think what you like but losing DC will be a blow for FSU.

    But I forgot you're getting VH SR and Pruitt to replace the dead weight. shrug

    I know, no way FSU loses to UF and wins the ACC with 4 kids from Bama on the roster

    3 that redshirted and one that was a 3rd string QB

    Clearly FSU owes everything to Craig

    So then I guess Winston will transfer since Craig meant everything to him

    derp

    Winston picked FSU cause of Jimbo and baseball aka Martin the head coach for baseball

    think whatever the hell you want though, clearly its important to you

  • FSU hires a coach and he's awesome, ride his nuts while he's there then as soon as he leaves he sucked and they'll hire someone better. Rinse and repeat.

    Craig has landed you the last 2 years:

    This year:

    Golston 4 star 94 rating
    White 4 star 90 rating

    Last yr

    Winston 4 star 97 rating
    Casher 4 star 96 rating
    Shanks 3 star 87 rating

    Yeah he was your best recruiter in terms of landing kids, but you can try to spin it all you want Daly
