Florida State's search should start with these three active coaches

A sitting head coach with experience … but not too much experience. That should be Florida State’s plan of pursuit to replace Mike Norvell , who was mercifully fired on Nov. 1 and sent packing with memories of 2023 (13-1 record) and a $50 million buyout. The Seminoles, despite eight years of at least five losses in the last decade (!), are a big boy program playing in a talent-rich state. It is not the job for a first-time coach facing a significant rebuild. Experience in the hot seat should be a pre-requisite. But Seminoles fans should also want somebody who can be a long-term answer. Brian Kelly , 65, wants the job. Jimbo Fisher , 61, would take the job for the federal minimum wage. No thanks. The Seminoles’ search , once they hire an athletic director (which should be done first), should start with three names. I would call Kentucky’s Will Stein just to make sure he says no. If he’s interested in leaving the Wildcats after one year, every single resource should be devoted to pursuing him. Yes, he just has the single season as a big whistle, but he’s worth it. If Stein isn’t in play,

Tiger Woods on hand as son Charlie Woods makes Florida State decision official

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. ― Legendary professional golfer Tiger Woods was on hand to witness his son, Charlie Woods , during a milestone day. The younger Woods donned a Florida State cap ― paired with a big smile ― during a signing day ceremony at Benjamin High School , headlining Class of 2027 student-athletes being recognized for their collegiate decisions ahead of National Signing Day. Tiger Woods was present with other family members, as well as Robert McNamara, Executive Vice President of TGR, Tiger Woods Ventures, as they applauded Charlie and other Benjamin athletes during the signing ceremony. The group took photos together afterwards, and Tiger gave his son a trademark fist-bump once the ceremony was completed. The 17-year-old son of Tiger Woods signed with Florida State on Friday during a National Signing Day ceremony at The Benjamin School, nine months after verbally committing to the Seminoles in February. Woods ultimately chose FSU over offers from programs around the country and will take a different path than his father, who played two years at Stanford. At Florida State, Woods will join Miles Russell, one of the top players in the Class of 2027, giving the Seminoles one of the more

'He was not afraid': Tallahassee lawyer, former mayor Kent Spriggs dies

Longtime Tallahassee civil rights attorney Kent Spriggs – also a former city commissioner and mayor who spent more than 50 years fighting discrimination and racism – died Nov. 2 at his Asheville, North Carolina. The 87-year-old's death was announced by his wife, retired Tallahassee Democrat reporter Kathleen Laufenberg. Spriggs confronted injustice, even when it meant going head-to-head with hate groups, fielding threats or being handcuffed and jailed. Those who knew him say his intense disposition was rooted in a "take no prisoners" pursuit of the law. Some of his notable cases included David Roby Keaton, part of the "Quincy Five," a name given to five Black men from the rural city 20 miles west of Tallahassee who were were arrested for the murder of an off-duty Leon County sheriff's deputy during a robbery of a Tallahassee convenience store in 1970. The arrest sparked an outpouring of protests in Quincy and Tallahassee by those who believed the men were unfairly accused, according to a 2015 article in the Tallahassee Democrat . Keaton, one of the first to go on trial, was sentenced to death and later became the nation's first prisoner exonerated from death row. There were dozens more clients and
