Summary

Florida State was competing for national championships less than a decade ago. The program has swiftly declined due to dysfunctional dynamics, mismanagement and some bad luck on various levels. ESPN captured the years of decline in a recent article -- Inside the 6-year unraveling of Florida State football -- by Andrea Adelson and David Hale. The two authors of the story join On The Bench for an in-depth discussion on what their reporting revealed. Stories on Jimbo Fisher, Stan Wilcox, the disconnect between the boosters and more are shared in this episode. And don’t fret, there’s some silver lining at the end.
