Taggart out at FSU

[Tennesseefan2019]

I agree...… That guy has done a great job at Wake Forest.... Wake is a prestigious academic institute that because of strict academic regulations and being in the middle of fertile recruiting grounds never hardly gets the 4-5 star athletes.

I could see Baylor hiring Mark Stoops if FSU were to hire Matt Rhule.

Much as I hate FSU, their AD/Administration would never be dumb enough to hire someone like that.

Just checking on you. Got those reservations in Atlanta?

Has nothing to do with this thread...I've already given UGA their props. (Despite some dubious officiating.)

How nice of you.

So someone currently unemployed?

No clue, but you know they’ve been putting out feelers. They must have gotten some major interest in order to get the big shots to put their money in. I can’t see it being Franklin; he would string them along too long.

This will cause other schools (Ark) to also fire now. Someone needs to revive the Coaching Carousel thread because it’s starting.

Gotta think FSU’s coach comes from that pool. FSU’s donor base doesn’t have as much money as other blue bloods; and the facilities are god awful. I don’t see Stoops, Meyer, or Franklin taking that job.

Did not know FSU had this much money to burn on his contact

They couldn't afford a big Richard move like that.
I know you wish they could though.

was reported that the big money boosters paid it

FSU’s 4 year recruiting ranking is 15 (2 higher than TN).

Recruiting was not the issue. Coaching was.

Taggart is not a good coach.

Casino friends?

Glad we dodged that disaster here

who knows -- FSU raised about $20 million in private donations to buy out what was left of Taggart's contract, sources told ESPN's Mark Schlabach

I’m sure they’ll hire some brain dead HC who makes Florida’s job even easier.

Still, a lot of money. Makes me wonder how much they have for the new hire.

You don’t spend 17 million unless you have a really good plan B

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

FSU is 16th in recruiting rankings with about half of the class being 4 star recruits. Was UT in the hunt for any of them? I hope we can take advantage of this opportunity.

He's not been good, but I do feel like this is a bad move on FSU's part. Jimbo did not leave the program in great shape. Taggart inherited a similar situation on O-line as Pruitt did here. Probably should've given Taggart at least 1-2 more seasons to turn things around.

That said, huge mistake on Taggart's part to take the FSU job in hindsight. Taggart would probably be considered one of the hottest coaches out there if he simply stayed at Oregon.

Why? His record was 47-50 as a head coach when FSU hired him. Only twice did he win as many as 8 games in a season. He had one 10 win season, and one 8 win season out of 8 seasons.

Better be a university in a landlocked state. Gotta keep the guy away from deep sea fishing.
