When you look at FSU's history, it's just so confusing. How can you have so much success, yet never be able to finish the deal? You'd think he would stumble into a NC eventually.

To me, it's got to be an inability to get a team mentally ready for a big game. I always felt that way about Polk. Polk part I did everything right to build a steadily consistent program, but there was a "content to be here" vibe when we got to Omaha, instead of a "let's win the whole 17ing thing" attitude that the 2013 team had. I hope the new guy has that edge to him.

He's def got that edge. He's all about winning. His hobby is coaching baseball

I agree about Polk. For all his success, his teams underachieved in the postseason a lot more than they overachieved. With Martin though, you don’t get there that often & that consistently without winning a lot of big games.
