So no Chris Weinke? Damn I thought that's why they were waiting to fill that position after the chip game.

Yeah can't say i'm happy with his decision to come back, but hey its his life. Hopefully jitt gets his degree and continues to be a positive role model to the youngins under him. Just hope taggart gives Laborn and White their carries, i'm meh on rasul i thought ryan green ran better than him this yr. Hopefully they put him on kickoff duty to keep him involved.

There saying he's interviewing tomorrow..
I'm just over all this interviewing for days n no announcements. I mean shyt the dead period ends on Fri..we at least need a damn wr coach before we hit the road.
Looks like the a deal with the drunk db coach is a go (guidry)..lol. I didn't know dude had 3 DUIs, thought it was only one SMH.
But with the potential hire of Guidry and the DE coach from Michigan st, we only have one spot available and two spots to fill QB/WR. I think taggart is in a bind esp if locksey doesn't come and take the QB/WR coach spot. He should have 1) stopped the dugans negotiations was before he did. 2) Tell Hampton that he would have to come in and learn as much as he could from Barnett so we can save the DB spot for other needs. fukk mainly coaching ST nagga better earn his keep shiii 3) hired a DE coach, Grant Heard or Jamarcus Shepard for Wr coach and look into hiring help with the offensive game planning WAY before now QB/OC coordinator.
I think locksey could have seen what the first coaches did with using us to leverage themselves more $ at their current jobs and is trying to do the same. I mean why would you come to FSU to not call plays, when you can stay at Ala n keep building with them???

A day after Alabama assistant Mike Locksley and Michigan State assistant Mark Snyder interviewed at Florida State, here is what I know:
— I don’t have much more to report than what I said last night on Mark Snyder. I’m told Snyder left Tallahassee yesterday to head back to Michigan and talk to his wife about his decision to potentially leave MSU for FSU. At this point he has not informed Willie Taggart of what he intends to do. That will likely occur sometime today (Thursday).
Snyder is Michigan State’s defensive ends coach. He’s a candidate for the same job at Florida State. After Harlon Barnett was hired we said he’d have a hand in making at least one hire on the defensive side of the ball and Snyder is his guy.
Snyder brings 28 years of experience. He’s versatile, having been a head coach, coordinator, ends and linebacker coach.
— As I said yesterday when we broke the news of Mike Locksley’s interview - this one is a little more complicated than Snyder’s deal. Locksley arrived in Tallahassee late Tuesday night, around midnight. Locksley and Taggart spent the day together on Wednesday talking about the culture of the program, what Taggart is trying to achieve on offense and how Locksley could contribute to that.
I’m told Locksley left FSU with a new respect for Taggart. The two had met previously but never sat down, spent time together and got to know each other. There’s no question that Locksley would feel comfortable leaving Alabama. However, money is going to be tough to match and could prevent this deal from happening.
Taggart could do a few things to sweeten the deal. I’ve already reported that if Locksley were to take the job it would include the offensive coordinator title. He wouldn’t be calling plays, but would have more responsibility with game planning and scheme. I’m also told that Taggart would be open to allowing Locksley to coach quarterbacks. This is something that Taggart intended to do, but would be willing to give the reigns over to Locksley if that’s what it took to get him. Locksley has coached quarterbacks for 15 years throughout his career and it’s something he wants to get back to. I’m just not sure that will overcome the money gap between the two sides.
I do not expect this to drag out into the weekend. I’m told Locksley is not concerned about the possibility that current Alabama offensive coordinator Brian Daboll could end up in the NFL. Locksley understands Willie Taggart is on a faster timeline with this hire and is not going to base his decision on what Daboll may do in the future.
Based on what I’m told, a phone call will take place today (Thursday) between Locksley and Taggart and there should be some finality - one way or another - on this situation in the next 24-36 hours. Yesterday I reported that if things don’t go down with Locksley and FSU, then Taggart will turn his attention to Purdue assistant JaMarcus Shephard. I still believe that to be the case, but I’m told there are a couple other names of interest involved as well. I don’t have those names. I’ll take it one step at a time though. Let’s see what happens with Locksley today before moving on to those names.

Lol.. just want to be first to make it official.
In one tweet to Coleman this week, he was like "DM me" trying to get that man plug hahaha
Newberg a clown. After Feldman had the news on the DE coach signing, he tweets that he hasn't called and told FSU yet. Then 40 mins later he tweets that Snyder "just got off the phone" with FSU. Coleman has been 2 steps ahead of all these paid insiders lately.
He is! His "ppl" out here not trying to give coleman or anyone else their credit about any. I hope coleman dont fall for the ookie doke, berg just had the man on his show and opened up with "now tot he man with all the inside to everything nole"....
Pretty soon he going to start saying "WE" got the inside to everything noles. Berg trying to pull that 48 laws of power shyt on duke
Coaching Insider: Mike Locksley negotiation coming to an end
The latest on where things stand between Mike Locksley and Florida State.
This is what I'm hearing:
When Locksley left Tallahassee I learned the meeting went very well. So well that Taggart was willing to hand over the quarterback coaching responsibilities to Locksley. Coaching quarterbacks is something Locksley is trying to get back to doing. He was originally coming to meet with Taggart about the wide receiver position. However, because money could be an issue, Taggart was willing to concede the quarterback job to Locksley if it meant getting him on staff.
Money was also an issue at the time the meeting ended. Without getting into exact numbers - the two sides were far apart at the start of the negotiation. That has changed.
I’ve learned that Locksley and Taggart spoke last night and the money gap has closed. I'm told Taggart is willing to "take care of him". There’s no agreement in place, but the two sides are expected to speak later today. A source tells me Lockesley is “leaning” toward accepting the position at FSU. Locksley is not on the recruiting trail for Alabama today, he's attending a family funeral out of state, but still expected to talk to Taggart at some point this afternoon.
If Locksley is hired as FSU’s quarterback coach the next step will likely be to hire a wide receiver coach. For the last few days I’ve been saying it looks like the hire would be Purdue assistant coach JaMarcus Shephard. He was in town for an interview last week. However, last night I was told the search is heading in a different direction. I’m not completely ruling out Shephard, but based on what was told to me last night, it seems Taggart has gone in a different direction.
This also doesn’t completely rule out Lance Guidry either. Guidry was expected to be the safeties coach. He could still be involved and we could see Alonzo Hampton possibly moved off field. None of this will take place until it’s known what Mike Locksley decides to do. If he stays at Alabama then I expect FSU to hire a receivers and safeties coach and Taggart will coach quarterbacks.
The big domino is Locksley. We’ll be monitoring that situation throughout the day and bring you any new developments.

I really like the defensive staff thus far and I really like Greg Frey as the OL coach. I’m not really impressed with the the offensive coaches as a whole yet, though. I guess we’ll see what happens.
