What utter ********! Sumlin got canned at A&M because he could not win in the SEC west, feasted on crappy competition and was close to 0-fer in November...he got a stupid extension and A&M made him a wealthy man. He now sucks at Arizona...he mismanaged and drove away two 5* QBs who are now starters in the NFL...had it not been for Johnny manziel, he would have been exposed far sooner...
think before pulling out the unnecessary and stupid race card!
are you saying that there should be only 12% black players to reflect that? ? duh!
I could see that he's been DC there....also think Norvell will be high on their list.
Not sure if serious but Jimbo Fisher did leave FSU in shambles, especially on the OL. He knew he was leaving and his recruiting the last few years showed it. The next HC was looking at a rebuild, although FSU fans don’t like to admit that. Surprised that FSU canned him during the season. Heard that Willie walks away w 18M in severance pay. What a great country we live in!
I’m not a Willie fan and actually bet the Under on 7.5 wins for FSU this season when I was in NV for golf recently. Very costly buyout for FSU but they are serious about FB there and won’t settle for 7-5 from any HC.
FSU is a very attractive HC job and this may lead to some movement among HC candidates. Willies resume is pretty strong and should be in the mix for us.
The buzz I'm hearing amounts to a coordinated, high-level Rutgers’ booster-led takedown of Taggart. It’s finally going down.
Anyone see that Garutti tweet? The truth is out there.

Did FSU spend more than ~$55-60 million to get rid of Taggart after 1.5 years. ($30 million to buy out Taggart. $20 million for his staff, plus $ 6-8 million to complete his buyout from Oregon)? They will then need to spend another $60 + million for the next coach. How does a place like FSU get so much money to throw around for football?
FSU is bringing a truck full of money to Happy Valley. I’m talking 8 to 9 million a year for Mr. Franklin and it’s going to force State to pay. Let’s see how much they willing to live in this stratosphere.
donors paid the buyout. from fsu board. the donors gave the university 20 million 2 weeks ago. fsu has already been looking at coaches. losing to miami made them not wait any longer
Dude. I watched plenty of FSU football and Taggart’s post game interviews. It was a train wreck
That is how the Big boys do it. Boosters flip the bill.
No worries. We're waaay ahead of them. They haven't even hired a search firm yet.
Here’s my theory, if you can’t win in the ACC at FSU, you sure as hell cant win at RU
The Greg only zealots are getting worried. They need to attack Willie Taggarts resume?
Franklin and Fleck seem to now be in the smoke at USC with Helton dead man walking. If Urban isn’t their guy, PSU and Minny may need to up the paychecks.
Money and Power. Him in Florida, he would kill it in recruiting. I mean the man would get death row for the murders on the recruiting trail in Florida. Turn
I’m not a Greg only guy. He’s a top choice of mine but I also like Jones, Clawson and Norvell. I do not like Willie Taggart. Sorry - I think he sucks
Do Durkin and/or Canada show up as legit names over the next few weeks for these jobs? Canada at RU thoughts? Too soon for Durkin anywhere?
I started the thread on Norvell , I said I’d do cartwheels over Clawson.
I’m the one who dispelled the rumor this wasn’t a full search.
I don’t think Taggart fits, you quoted me and called me a Schiano zeolot,
You’re also a known hit and run poster who never responds when proven wrong

Durkin’s not getting picked by anyone for at least another year and he definitely won’t fet looked at for FSU.
FSU will spend what it takes and go after the best available.
Know this idea is far fetched , especially with the Taggert connection, but wonder if they will reach out to Mario C's agent and inquire if he'd like to be a Floridian again.
I think that FSU aims high with their next HC. Almost everyone in CFB and NFL is on the table. Check out the list of expected candidates to replace Willie. Pretty impressive.
As RU fans we’d kill to have just a few of these names on our list.

I would think Norvell or Clawson could be in play here. Might be a little sensitive for Clawson since would be an in conference move.
Were press conferences as bad as Ash’s?
RU could only wish to be as bad as his West Kentucky, USF, Oregon and FSU teams; and I’m a “want Schiano hired yesterday” RU alum and supporter.
Bottom line: the tolerance for Taggart was super low and football win standards are super high at FSU. Guy got super paid in a short period of time and FSU moves on.
GO RU
