If there’s a silver lining, it’s that Haggins is a fixture at the school and may be given a chance to earn his position over the next month. If he beats BC and gets them to a bowl, it may be hard to fire him and they may be stuck again.

We will see if they go for a big buyout name somewhere (as if they’d be interested after this debacle). I’m really in disbelief there’s no way this doesn’t set them back in a big way financially.

Told y'all who were saying they couldn't afford to do this that you're retarded. No question they were gonna fire him if he sucked this year.
The question becomes “what can they afford now?” Also, “how much taxpayer money gets wasted to cover this?”

I know a guy with past state of Florida experience coming off an impressive offensive performance where they blew out a peer. He’s got Saban cred - just like Jimbo!

I mean they kind of did. Mac won two division titles in a row. We would be untouchable if we fired a coach during one of those years. He got fired a half season after that.

Champ didn’t get fired in 2013 although he should have, we lost like half the roster to injury that year and was outed the following year.
I should have phrased that better. I wish that after Champ we should have recognized the damage and hired an elite coach. But I don't remember Champ's buyout either. Just seems like FSU was quick to recognize the damage and made a change. Just adding to frustration of this weekend.

I posted in the other thread that you have ti give those :nole::nole::nole::nole::nole: credit for acting quickly and supposedly raising 20 MIL. Question is @oxrageous do you still think they try and hire another minority to help justify the less than 2 year thing?

Well I kept hearing they couldn't afford to fire him, but now they have. I'm not going to be surprised now when they shell out 6 mil plus for a new coach. Mullen's day just got worse.

Willie Taggart had a 6yr/$30M contract with FSU and they owe him 85% of the remaining salary. So Taggart will tack home approx $17M on his way out of FSU plus the approx $10M he made already. Many boosters had to be consulted to cover this bill.


Gonna be a lot of :nole: alums working overtime slinging burgers and fries to pay that bill.

No way. Just like we still keep trying daily to flush Fooley and all his minions and stench down the toilet, any :nole::nole::nole::nole::nole: knows that they need to flush all those BOOBY guys down the toilet. That is of course, unless Mark Richt wants the job :lmao2:

They raised $20M in private donations just to get rid of him. :lol:
