Oregon fans are cheering wondering how they got so lucky. Lose the dolt who stunk for them AND get paid handsomely in the process!
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.I would be curious as to when, if ever, football has not been the top priority within the FSU athletic administration. If they have been emphasizing other sports at the expense of football then they should start hiring better coaches because I don't see them dominating the landscape in those arenas.
Disclaimer: I don't follow FSU closely in any sport so I can't say that there aren't other sports in which they're dominant. I do think that is a completely bogus reason given by JImbo and covers up the fact that HE didn't get along with members of the administration and the booster groups.
He just wanted out of the State of Florida. Too many ex-Gators banging his old lady.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.
In Jimbo's press conference today at Texas A&M he said the reason he left Tallahassee was that he and the FSU administration were not on the same page as far as prioritizing football over other sports. He said the head coach and the university administration have to be United in their vision.
I know this was part, of course not the only problem, with some of our recent coaches and Foley who was an all sports trophy kind of guy.

Jmo, but he’s angry because they aren’t driving his market value up. Not offering him more than that gives him no negotiating room for Oregon either. They might up his salary the few hundred k but nothing substantial that he’s looking for.@PCreighton1: Source: #Ducks coach Willie Taggart almost called off meeting w/ #FSU after they only upped offer to $4.1M. Was furious considering $$ being paid to other HCs (Frost $5M, Mullen $6M) His agent asking for 5 yrs at $5M. @boatsanddroz @sportschop @sbnationradio @1029TheGame
@PCreighton1: #FSU being incredibly cheap w/ Taggart. Came very close to blowing negotiations today. Sources say Those close to program would not be happy with Charlie Strong as a fallback choice.
We haven't beat them in basketball in 4 yearsOnly 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.
I think it's only 4.Doesn't Taggart have a $5 million per offer from Oregon now? Why the hell would FSU lowball him? Hopefully he doesn't get pissed and walk on it.
ThisHow cute they want to be like us. I think Taggart is honestly seeing what his market value is and driving up his price with Oregon. He’s on the road this minute recruiting which would be idiotic if he was leaving. He’d get hit hard on the trail by other programs for having no loyalty and selling an empty bag of goods
Yeah, they are really dodging a bullet here.Oregon fans are cheering wondering how they got so lucky. Lose the dolt who stunk for them AND get paid handsomely in the process!
