Fisher's FSU is currently 2-5, and not even an abundance of talent seems able to save him. On the current Seminole roster are 60 5- and 4-star recruits.

By comparison, the team that just whomped them mercilessly Saturday has exactly zero 4- and 5-star players. N.C. State, which also beat the 'Noles, has 6.

Personally, I've never bought into the myth that Jimbo Fisher is an A-list coach. I once heard one of his half-time orations that made Les Miles sound like JFK. When your own players look dazed and confused listening to you, better thank Bobby you inherited the state's richest recruiting network.

And even that probably won't be enough to keep good-guy Mark Richt and the undefeated 'Canes (30 4-5's) from the door. To say nothing of Scott Frost and Charlie Strong, who've lost one game between them while coaching teams comprised of FSU's recruiting leftovers.

I'm not hearing many War chants from Tallahassee this year. Living closer to Gainesville, it might be they're getting drowned out by the screams of another Gator coach getting chomped.
