Florida State president John Thrasher is putting the heat on the school’s football program and their head coach.

Thrasher has grown tired of FSU football players logging arrest like basketball forwards do minutes. Thrasher addressed the team and head coach Jimbo Fisher recently.

He says he supports Fisher, and talked about some of the ideas that could help the Noles stay out of the police blotter.

In Thursday’s 60-minute meeting at the Democrat, Thrasher shared plans the university and athletic department want to implement to help educate student-athletes when it comes to their behavior. They include: *A required course in social responsibilities. *Creating an additional position in the compliance department to focus on student-athlete development. *Scheduling additional speakers and former players to meet with the team. Over the next three days, the Democrat will highlight the Q&A session with Thrasher. During the meeting, he voiced his support of football coach Jimbo Fisher and believes they have a good relationship. “His motor is running 100 percent, all the time,” Thrasher said. “It’s always on go. And it’s always focused on being successful, and he wants his athletes to be successful. … When we visit and talk about how he feels about how he runs the program, I respect that. I respect that. But I am not short on making sure he understands where I’m coming from.”

Obviously the program would benefit from having guys like Charlie Ward and Derrick Brooks around more often, but Fisher will also have to take a look at the type of guys he’s bringing in as well.

It’s not about the neighborhood these kids are from, but more about who they want to be as people and student athletes.
