[LaYzieGaTor]

Hell yeah! Been a coach 8 years, 4 winning seasons, 3 of threm are 7-5? Perfect!!!!

Not worried about him owning florida in recruiting?

Fvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvk no.

More Twitter Justice Warrior bullshyt. He is about as likely to own Florida in receuiting as Corey Bell did.

No worries with FSU - they have been great recruiters. He won't improve them in that area, they can only go down. And I"m still trying to figure out what everyone loves with this guy. He's going from Western Kentucky to FSU in about 5 years? You would think he has an Urban Meyer undefeated season he's riding or something.

Jimbo averaged a top 5 recruiting class not sure how he does any better than that.
Recruiting is about the only thing positive anybody can say about the guy unless you count winning 2 more games than the previous coach as turning around 2 programs. He's a joke.

Diehard clown friend of mine is not happy:

“Taggart sucks - what has he actually done? At least you guys got a coach (Mullen) with a pedigree and two NC’s as an OC”

No joy in ClownTown tonight

@PCreighton1: If no deal can be reached with #FSU tonight, #Ducks coach Willie Taggart will reportedly move on from the discussions, per source. @sbnationradio

he is right.

I honestly can't think of a coach with more hype who has done less than Slicke Willie Taggart.

@georgewrighster: I was told earlier that Phil Knight asked Willie Taggart not to accept any offer from FSU until he had a face to face meeting with him. Hence, why Taggart may have just landed in Eugene. I'll get more details soon.

Since Nike basically owns so many of the top college football coaching jobs, I can't help but wonder if Knight is making an "offer he can't refuse", so to speak...

Here’s the thing: Taggart has a hell of a staff at oregon. Oregon doesn’t give a **** about keeping tag. They want Leavit and Cristobal and the staff to stay. So if Tag leaves to FSU they will hire Leavitt as their coach more than likely , rendering the Taggart hire mediocre beyond belief. He’s an ok play caller, an excellent recruiter. But if he leaves after one year his reputation is toast. Loyalty? Not this man. He wants the next big pay check and you better believe that’s what Every school will be saying on the trail

 

[Theologator]

Only other fsu sports worth a crap are mens baseball and women's soccer. But neither of those are truly elite either. This sounds more like jimbo making excuses for wearing out his welcome.

They won a track NC a few years ago but lost it in the cheating scandal.

 

[Theologator]

If Taggart leaves, will Leavitt’s recruits be all choked up?

 

[williston_gator]

If Taggart leaves, will Leavitt’s recruits be all choked up?

Yeah, once he and Cristobal get asked to come along.

 

[deuce]

Calling Taggert a mercenary seems funny to me........ 99% of ALL Coaches are driven by the money, there is no such thing as loyalty! Saying it has to "Fit" makes me laugh. Money followed by Competition in my opinion. The Saban Rule!

As of 7 hours ago:
@georgewrighster: Next man up for Oregon.

Willie Taggart to be the next head coach of FSU.

It’s still #GoDucks though.
