As stated a million times. FSU's issues are much bigger than Jimbo Fisher. It has been mismanaged from top to bottom and the same weak leadership is still running things.
See link at bottom for some history.
fficial FSU Twitter account finds new way to fail miserably.@SportsCenter ran a feature this morning on #FSU’s graphic failure.— Logan B. Robinson (@LogansTwitty) July 30, 2019

At this point, it’s fair to ask if the person or team running Florida State’s official social media account is masterfully trolling everyone or is just completely inept at this role.
The account has been so bad at times, screenshots have to be taken of the content before the flood of reactions start rolling in and the account deletes its post. While using Martin Luther King Jr. as a prop to promote the program with a tomahawk chop remains the worst example of how poorly this account is run, a new image has been released that at first glance appears to be a poorly made fan graphic.
Florida State breaks everyone's brain with a completely baffling college football countdown tweet
The Seminoles social media team is really having a rough year
The Florida State Seminoles successfully captivated the college football world on Monday, though not for a particularly flattering reason. The FSU Twitter account sent out a rather perplexing graphic to kick off the week, and it left plenty of people just utterly confused.
Here's the tweet in question...
That very crappy graphic leads us all to believe that FSU starts their football season in 154 days, which is wildly incorrect... obviously. Once you get past seeing it as 154, you're led to wonder whether it's some sort of math equation. But that doesn't exactly check out, either.
In all likelihood, the graphic is simply pointing at the start of Seminoles' training camp, which kicks off in four days -- hence the gigantic four displayed. But the inclusion of the player wearing No. 15 without any explanation directly next to that four makes the graphic incredibly confusing and ineffective.
For proof of that, all you need to do is check FSU's mentions.
So, yeah, just a tremendously bad job by FSU's social media department at executing a very simple task. If your social media person can't put together a basic graphic without breaking everyone's brain, do you really have a social media person or do you just have a person with social media?
However, it's worth noting that this isn't even Florida State's worst graphic posted this year. That honor certainly has to go to their recruiting page's MLK Day post showing Martin Luther King wearing a receiver glove while doing the tomahawk chop.
At least they set the bar extremely low for themselves.
FSU history of bad leadership
*Not ensuring that FSU plays a cupcake prior to every UF game.
In 2018, FSU playing BC this year before UF was beyond idiotic. Is the ACC forcing this or does FSU not even think of this issue? UF played a cupcake. UF was the better team regardless, but you maximize your situation if you are smart. UF was smart, FSU was not.
*Not hiring an experienced AD.
FSU's last 3 ADs had no experience in big time college football. Spetman was from out west. Had 0 knowledge of big time southern football. Wilcox was a basketball guy from Duke. Literally the polar opposite of FSU's culture. Coburn is connected in Tallahassee and gets the culture. But he has zero experience in college athletics (I have seen one of it's speeches. I know first hand it did not go over way with a head coach at FSU. It was not impressive).
*Moving a game to Jacksonville (Boise State).
This was dumb for many reasons. One, you took away a game from season ticket holders (7 to 6). Two, this was the same city that snub FSU for a bowl game a few years back. Three, you remove an interesting game from one of the most boring schedules in years (coming off a 5-7 season). Good luck with season tix sales FSU.
Love John Thrasher (this was his move), but this was dumb and really wasn't your place to make this move. Given the state of the football program, it looks even worse.
*Weak Negotiators.
FSU has a history of getting worked on negotiations. Will add examples over time:

*NON FOOTBALL: Put the students on the floor in basketball.
FSU's basket atmosphere is a mess and it is because FSU's athletic department has no guts to even try to fix the stale atmosphere. You cannot blame it on the basketball team anymore. Or students not showing.

*NON FOOTBALL: Full week off 2 different weeks prior to ACC Schedule.
FSU's basket had 2 full weeks without a game prior to Christmas. 11/11-11/19 & 12/8-12/17. Sub optimal. Not sure how egregious a mistake, but an issue.
*FSU's Hiring Culture
