2013 coaching staff vis-à-vis recruiting

I think it's a safe assumption that FSU is going to have some coaching turnover after the 2012 season, regardless of the final record. I think this staff/program has been built for a run at the 2012 national title. A BCS game/win on their resume will only increase their price tag.
Who are the most likely coaches to leave? And what impact will their departure have on 2013 recruiting? Personally, I think everyone — save Jimbo, Vic and Odell — is a candidate to move on. They are all attractive to other programs for various reasons, be it resume or recruiting prowess.
Knowing Jimbo's penchant for planning (and having previously admitted that he wants his coaches to be sought after), he’s likely got the second wave of coaches ready to contact. I think the staff would be open and give him early warning if/when they are going to leave. Best-case would be that they depart for a strong move up the coaching ladder immediately after the season (for smaller schools far away from Tallahassee) and Jimbo announces their replacement(s) within days. Worst-case would be what Auburn went through this offseason.
It’s a good sign that other teams want to give coaches on our staff a promotion. FSU needs to manage the inevitable transition. This is a crucial recruiting cycle — lots of names to replace.
How does the staff recruit differently over the next 10-11 months? As much as we like to say that coaches recruit the school/program, we also admit that it's the relationship-building betweenthe coach and prospect that plays a large role in securing a commitment. Would any of this staff take players with them (à la Hudson/Trickett) when they leave? FSU is now recruiting on an elite level, so 4- and 5-star athletes are getting the most attention from this staff. Those players would most likely be interested in top-tier BCS schools, so the answer to the previous question is probably dependent on the school a coach is leaving for.
After the jump, FSU's 2012 coaching staff and an off-the-cuff percentage assigned to each for the likelihood of them leaving.

NCAA: Ohio State banned from postseason play next season
The NCAA today stunned Ohio State University’s football program by banning it from postseason play after the 2012 season, multiple sources told The Columbus Dispatch.
Arrington Jenkins, a redshirt freshman linebacker from Miami, was arrested Saturday on a charge of vehicle grand theft.
Should remind everyone that a scooter or other motor vehicle also qualifies here under the statute.
This could also be a simple case in which he normally had permission to use the vehicle, then got in an argument with the owner of the vehicle, who then reported it stolen while Jenkins was riding or in possession. That scenario is not all that uncommon, actually.As always, we'll await the facts. An arrest is just an arrest. It doesn't mean Jenkins did anything wrong. To make a judgment on this either way is dumb at this point.
Jenkins allegedly told the TPD "Anyone who leaves a motorcycle out in the open should expect to have it stolen."
Judgement no longer reserved.
The Stoops Brothers Are Wanted Men
Mark is entrenched at a premier program, not to mention a program, led by Jimbo Fisher, that would love to retain his services. Florida State has national title aspirations, and bringing Mark back as coordinator helps further that goal — continuity, especially with this young team, is good for business.

Duke 35, Florida State 34: Duke will do exactly what Wake Forest did, and beat the Seminoles with their passing game and their discipline. Duke didn’t allow a turnover or a sack in its come-from-behind road win over FIU. Florida State has made a habit out of untimely penalties, and had five turnovers in the loss to Wake Forest. Duke has a chance to catch the Noles when they’re down, and David Cutcliffe will make sure they do.

Jost Named NSCA Strength Coach Of The Year
The NSCA College Strength and Conditioning Coach of the Year Award is given to a college or university strength and conditioning coach in recognition of his or her commitment to the college strength and conditioning profession. The award committee evaluates candidates' efforts on behalf of college coaches and dedication to the implementation of safe, proven techniques and programs to enhance athletic performance.
"This is an incredible honor for my staff and me as I consider this to be a team award," said Jost. "I am very fortunate to have the best staff in the country and we have a group of fantastic athletes at Florida State to work with. It is a privilege to train them."
"Jon is a good personal friend and a recognized leader among his peers in strength and conditioning," said NSCA President Jay Hoffman. "More importantly, his contributions toward the development of the up-and-coming strength coach have been invaluable in supporting the growth and dissemination of science-backed strength training programs for nearly 20 years."
Karlos Williams makes big impact
"I hate to lose anything, especially like that," Williams said. "Everyone saw us block the field goal. The people were happy. Let the people decide. We could go again right now. Seriously, get everyone off the field and let's ball. We don't even need pads, we could just play seven-on-seven."
Hopefully, Jimbo lets this kid talk to the media. I don't want to miss out on this quote machine for too long.
