Florida State announces plans to retire Jameis Winston’s college jersey

Florida State announced plans to retire Jameis Winston’s college jersey at Saturday’s game versus North Alabama:

Now this is cool: Florida State announced plans to retire Jameis Winston’s college jersey at Saturday’s game versus North Alabama, recognizing the New Orleans Saints quarterback for his accomplishments in Tallahassee. Winston led the school to a 14-0 record and a Rose Bowl win back in 2013, setting the stage for a College Football Playoff run in his 2014 sophomore season.

Winston only played two years at Florida State, but he left with the fourth-most career passing yards (7,964) and second-most touchdown passes (65) in school history, plus a 26-1 record.

And now, a decade since he turned pro, Winston will see the jersey he wore honored in an exclusive group. He’s just the eleventh player to earn this recognition at Florida State, joining the likes of Fred Biletnikoff, Derrick Brooks, Terrell Buckley, Warrick Dunn, Marvin Jones, Deion Sanders, Ron Sellers, Ron Simmons, Charlie Ward and Chris Weinke.

Good for him. Winston’s jersey will be retired in a ceremony at the end of the first quarter in Saturday’s home game at Doak S. Campbell Stadium. It’s also senior night, and kickoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. ET/5:30 p.m. CT with television coverage on The CW network.

Houston Roughnecks clobber Orlando Guardians in XFL 2023 play

Houston crushed Orlando in XFL 2023 play

A mismatch on paper proved to be exactly that on the field Saturday as the Houston Roughnecks remained perfect, battering the winless Orlando Guardians, 44-16.

The outcome never was in doubt as early as the first quarter when Houston scored 20 straight points.

Brandon Silvers completed 24-of-30 passes for 239 yards and 3 touchdowns.

The Roughnecks used the double-forward pass for a touchdown as Jontre Kirklin threw a 49-yard pass to Deontay Burnett.

Dejoun Lee had a pair of rushing TDs for Houston, which had 95 yards on the ground in the second half after going for -1 in the first 30 minutes.

Paxton Lynch threw for 230 yards, including an 81-yard touchdown pass to Charleston Rambo in the mismatch.

Wade Phillips and Houston are 4-0, while Terrell Buckley and Orlando are 0-4.

 

Former Dolphin Terrell Buckley rips his XFL team during game

This is the raw emotion that the XFL promised.

The XFL has offered football fans another league to follow along with during the NFL’s offseason, joining the USFL, which has yet to kick off their 2023 season.

Former Miami Dolphins cornerback Terrell Buckley is actually coaching in the XFL, as he’s the head coach of the Orlando Guardians.

During their game this past weekend’s matchup, Buckley was being interviewed on the sideline about his team’s poor performance. Instead of giving the typical canned coach response, Buckley called out his players for their lack of effort mid-game.

If the XFL is going to offer coaches and players saying their true feelings during the game, that’s a step up from what the NFL is offering in terms of in-game content from the teams.

An XFL head coach was brutally honest about his team’s awful effort in 2 sideline interviews

Buckley wore ALL of his frustrations on his sleeve.

After a slow start to the 2023 XFL season, Orlando Guardians head coach Terrell Buckley seems pretty displeased.

While the team and backup quarterback Deondre Francois took their hot-mic lumps in a 30-12 defeat to the San Antonio Brahmas on Sunday, Buckley took his players to task not once but twice.

The first occasion saw the coach discuss what transpired mid-game. By the end of the third quarter, Orlando was down 27-6 and seemed out for the count. Rather than offer the typical cliches of playing better, playing harder, and making adjustments, Buckley was instead rather candid.

Buckley thought his team was putting in a horrible effort and let the reporter interviewing him know as much:

Phew. I don’t know that I remember the last time a coach essentially called for different players who wanted to try harder… in a mid-game interview.

By the matchup’s end, Buckley was curter with a 30-12 loss cemented. Were there any positives? Anything he liked at all from the Guardians in an 18-point blowout defeat?

He kept it simple:

There are still eight games left in the 2023 XFL regular season, but the Guardians already sit in a comfortable last place in the XFL South division. If Buckley’s players don’t pick it up soon, it might be a long spring.

The best-case scenario would be the Guardians taking their coach’s frustrated honesty and channeling it into better performances down the line.

Ex-Giant Terrell Buckley will coach XFL’s Orlando franchise

Former New York Giants DB Terrell Buckley has been named head coach of the XFL’s Orlando franchise.

The XFL officially announced the group of head coaches who will lead their eight teams when the league returns in 2023. Among them is former New York Giants defensive back Terrell Buckley.

Buckley, who joins the likes of Jim Haslett, Wade Phillips and Bob Stoops, will coach the Orlando franchise.

Terrell Buckley was previously at the University of Mississippi, where he spent two years as the Cornerbacks Coach. He is a 13-year NFL veteran and Super Bowl XXXVI Champion, who was selected fifth overall by the Green Bay Packers in the 1992 draft and went on to play for the Miami Dolphins, Denver Broncos, New England Patriots, New York Jets and New York Giants.

As noted, Buckley was selected fifth overall by the Packers in 1992 and spent the first three seasons of his career in Green Bay. After that, he became a bit of a journeyman. His final career stop came in East Rutherford, having spent the 2004 season with the Jets and the 2005 season with the Giants.

In 209 career games, Buckley recorded 546 tackles, 2.0 sacks, 10 forced fumbles, 154 passes defensed, 50 interceptions and six touchdowns.

Following his retirement from the NFL, Buckley got into coaching at the college level. He held various roles at Florida State before making stops at Akron, Louisville, Mississippi State and, most recently, Ole Miss.

Former Dolphins CB is the newest XFL coach

He was most recently the cornerbacks coach for Ole Miss.

With Sam Madison, Patrick Surtain and Wes Welker all joining the Miami Dolphins coaching staff this offseason, the 1990s and 2000s Dolphins have been in the news a lot recently.

Another former Dolphin got his name in the headlines on Thursday, as Terrell Buckley was tabbed as the head coach of the XFL’s new Orlando team. The team, which hasn’t had their name announced to this point, is expected to take the field in 2023 with the rest of the league.

Buckley spent six seasons with the Dolphins over two stints from 1995-99 and 2003. During those six years, he recorded 24 interceptions which is tied for the seventh-most in franchise history with William Judon.

Since retiring from the NFL back in 2005, Buckley jumped into the coaching game. He spent time with Florida State (2007-11), Akron (2012-13), Louisville (2014-15), Mississippi State (2016-19) and Ole Miss (2020-21).

Dolphins fans may not have a rooting interest in the XFL to this point, but they can not support one of their own with Buckley in Orlando.
