He's not a friend of mine, but a work client. I can't really harass him. But I can tell you he will know EXACTLY what is going on inside FSU athletics.
What do you want to know? They are out of money and out of political power in the Legislature to bail them out with state budget dollars. T.K. Wetherall, Jim King and John Thrasher gave them state dollars for years, see Stadium, and they came to expect it yearly. Poof.....gone. King, dead. Wetherall, dead. Thrasher, resigned as President, staying while they search for replacement. T.K. Hired a racist alcoholic, Stan Wilcox from the NCAA to be A.D. to protect them from NCAA investigators and sanctions. Wilcox is a drunk and hired Taggart after Jimbo wanted too much and gave Willllllie the moon. Thrasher told Wilcox to find a new job after that fiasco. Thrasher appointed his administrative bean counter Coburn to be A.D. and try to stop the financial bleeding in the Athletic Department. Coburn has zero experience in athletics. Spanx lady alum absolutely positively gave them $25 million to get out from under the Willllie fiasco. She doesn’t even like sports and said don’t come back. We know a few tourism industry huge boosters and they are sick and tired of being hit up repeatedly since Bowden left. Central Michigan athletic director Michael Alford took over for CEO and President Andy Miller, who has been in charge of the boosters since its inception 45 years ago. Miller retiring just adds to the financial cluster fuch as you can imagine the changes the new CEO is trying to make. Norvell walked into a potential hornet’s nest and it has exploded. There are a few other things that are best left unsaid.
