I don't think they care what the national media thinks at this point.

I don’t disagree. But it definitely paints them in a negative light to future prospects. I said months ago the biggest favor Fisher did us was being 7-5 in his final year. There was this belief that they needed to be rebuilt, and as preposterous as it was, it’s still being mentioned. So if they only gave him 1 year to get that fixed, how long is the next guy getting to fix a much worse overall mess. If I’m a coach that has options, I’m not touching that job right now.

I think that’s such a bad look for them. As I’ve said, when a trigger is pulled, it means the meetings have already been had and discussions were underway weeks, if not months, ago. This isn’t about miami or fighting for .500 again. When they get 20 million just like that, it all but confirms he was a dead man coming into the year—his second.

We got beaten up so much for RZ, WM and even JM with just as much or more ammunition. I hope they get destroyed in the national media for this.
I mean they were headed for a second straight 5-7 season while being 0-6 against rivals with no light at the end of the tunnel. They were pretty justified. At least with us, people could point to Muschamp's one good year in 2012 or injuries in 2013, and with Mac they could point to our division "titles" in '15 and '16.

This really pisses me off even more since I was planning on starting a "Don't fire Willie" chant at the FSU game this year. :gah:

I know it's a mess, but I can't imagine they get a worse coach than Willie, and that stinks.

I think it just shows their more serious about winning.

@PeteThamel: The buyout for WiLLLLLLLie Taggart is more than $17 million. FSU will end up paying more than $20 million to buy out the whole staff at the end of the year. One of the bigger buyouts in college football history.


They still owe Oregon $1.5m


and then they have to pay the next guy.....

A logical hire would be Mark Stoops, who hit his ceiling at UK. Maybe even Venables from Tater.

But we're not dealing with logic here, so the FSU Top 5 will be, in no particular order,

Chizik
Bob Stoops (old)
Urban (never)
Brian Kelly (never)

It’s a damn shame Willie didn’t get to complete his 10 best wins list at Clown College, got a big blank spot at #10.

I heard this morning there were miami fans wearing “don’t fire WT”shirts yesterday. Probably sent them over the edge. You have to play it balanced and at least try to indicate he may be the right guy, you’re concerned, etc.

Leave it to canes fans to mess things up.

I added this to an earlier post in jest but if money becomes an issue maybe Mark Richt gives them a discount if they get desperate.

All the reports out of Tally over the last few weeks is that fsu wants a big time hire and is willing to spend what is necessary. Whether they get a guy like that I don't know.
