Exactly
Taggart knows he’s a terrible coach. But nobody is dumb enough aside from HorseTeeth Mcquiverlips to not get paid your full buyout
No way in hell im going through all that and also not get paid my 18 million

This is ridiculous.
We give atrocious coaches 3-4 years at least.
I blame extreme racism.
At least we know where @dubs is, in mourning for a while no doubt.
Imagine how happy Oregon is. Remember Clowntown payed to buy this loser out.

And we were in a much better financial situation than FSU. That's why I'll believe all this when I see it.
So you're telling me the brain trust that brought you this deal in the first place is going to negotiate down a buyout they have no leverage to reduce, and pay it (even at a reduced amount) with money they don't have, and then find someone who will come in and win for what they can then can't afford to pay - after they just fired a coach less than two years in who is leaving enormous roster holes that will basically leave you uncompetitive for at least that same time frame after Akers leaves at the end of the year?
Yeah, sure buddy. Never drink hooch from a bathtub.

Our atrocious coaches went 11-2 and 9-4 their second years. One with an outside shot at a national title appearance and the other a division title. There’s a zero percent chance either would have made it to year three winning five games and then being 3-4 the following year.

To save his job, wiLLLLLLLLLLLie will need to finish 7-5. That means winning the next 4 and losing to us. It’ll get them into a bowl and give some sense he is turning things around. Then, when the same thing happens next year, he will be fired.
On Newberg’s podcast, they said they are only negotiating. He isn’t gone for sure. The boosters have given the okay. They money is there. But, wiLLLLLLLLLLLie needs to show things are looking up. Going 6-6 wont do that. He needs a winning streak.

I didn't know about the AD leaving. If that's the case, any sane program would wait and let the new AD pick a coach he wants rather than hiring someone just before the AD starts and saddling him with 3-4y of 'new coach' before he can begin making his impact. Hiring winning coaches is the job of the AD, they should keep Willie into next year and let the new AD make the changes. There is merit to cutting your losses now, as it will likely be an even worse financial situation a year from now, but the right thing is to wait. Besides, who are they going to bring in?
Now for the rest of us, it's a win-win. Get another year (or more) of Willie in Tallahassee, or they fire him soon and bring in another crappy HBC on the cheap that provides another few years towards the decade of doom. No matter what, they continue to suck.

LOL... only negotiating about how much it is to replace you.
It's done. And waaaaaaaay too fast. Way too fast but he has looked like a middle school coach, team members are openly calling for him to be bought out now on twitter, so there's only so much we can expect.

How is the AD leaving, he just got the job this summer? As for a buyout, Newberg's stupid podcast can claim the money's there, they don't know. But it may be, necessity is the mother of invention after all.
Willie played hardball to go to FSU and leave Oregon, set himself up nicely with a six-year $30 million deal. He's still owed $17 million after this season, and he isn't leaving for less - at least his history doesn't indicate that he would.

I have posted this before, but will do so again. Here are the names which keep popping up to replace wiLLLLLLLLLLLie:
1. Dino Babers
2. Mike Leach
3. Dave Clawson
4. Mike Gundy
5. Urban Meyer
6. Matt Campbell
Number 5 isn't happening and Gundy's name always pops up in these things. He always says no.

This is what I'm saying. They better have some pictures of Taggart with little boys or the clowns are paying every penny. They may be able to negotiate with him about the structuring - like what payments are made when - but they will be paying every penny of it.

Leach might be nuts enough to take it, but it would have to be not about the money, because they are flat broke and that is before the buyout AND trying to pay a buyout for a coach who is under contract and then give that coach a contract he's willing to take.
Leach just this year signed an extension:
Washington State, Mike Leach agree on contract extension Couldn't find the exact buyout, but it was reported as of April being 4.9 million. No, ain't happening. Not this year anyway. WSU is cash strapped and will want payment in full for their cash cow.
Urban ain't coming - even if they could afford him. Neither is Gundy for obvious reasons.
Matt Campbell's buyout is 6 million if he leaves before signing day 2020 and ISU has no reason to be gentle, as they obviously want him there long term.
Cyclones: Matt Campbell's new contract includes $7M buyout if he leaves after 2018 season
Realistically it's Dino Babers or bust.

Is exit strategy being discussed for Willie Taggart?
“I believe an exit strategy is being discussed,” Newberg said in his “On the Bench” podcast. “It’s not a certainty right now. Nothing is done but it is getting real. I’m told that this is a situation where Jimmy Sexton and the FSU administration have been in touch. They have been talking directly about money and a potential buyout-slash-negotiation if it is to come to that. Yeah. I think in the scenario where Taggart does get let go, it’s if this team continues to go down the path that it’s going, continues to play and make the same mistakes that it has. And on the business side, there’s a deal that gets struck in the background.

This thread is more enjoyable than the Vols coaching search thread.
The vols are pathetic, and ALMOST worthy of sympathy.
If the Noles only win 1 more game in their history, it’s one game too many.

This is the point of inversion for FSU. The wing has stalled and instead of recovering, they are about mash the rudder and initiate a snap roll and nose dive into the ground. They are Tennessee bound. Book it.
