Don't he have heart trouble now?
Yes he had a heart attack but he is back working his TV gig. My point is he becomes a CEO type like Booby was and Ogre is now, makes a lot less, hires 2 or 3 high paid assts. and just oversees things and tries to corral the idiot players from doing too many stupid things off the field.
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)
Kiffin
I agree with you on Mark Stoops, I thought about him as a candidate a few weeks ago. I hope they do worse than him.
Venables has done well as a DC but that doesn’t always translate to being a good HC. FSU may want someone with prior experience being a head coach. They will have to pay Venables a lot of money and most likely pay Clemson a buyout as he makes a ton of cash and just agreed to a new contract earlier this year.
They won’t go for Chizik, he wasn’t that good as a HC at other stops and he’s been away from coaching for a while now.
The others on your list they may make a run at but I’m not sure they’d land any of them other than Kiffin. He’d take the job guaranteed and that would be good for us.
Their AD already proclaimed to the media that Urban Meyer would not be pursued. He went out of his way to say that.
That’s why it’s so comical that they were surprised he failed.WiLLLLLLLie's four head coaching stops:
Western Kentucky: 16-20
USF: 24-25
Oregon: 7-5
FSU: 9-12
So you’re saying there’s benefits to having fairweather fans? Hadn’t thought of it that way but makes sense.They were losing a lot of revenue and fans weren't showing up. Maybe that's the ticket when we want a new coach. Even when we had Shark boy and chump and zook our fans showed out every week. Less than normal at times but still a good showing. They just said the heck with it and quit coming.
I don;t know if this is correct or not. For example if Venables were hired he would simply resign and his contract would be void. I don;t think any school hiring him as a HC would have to pay anything b/c it is for a higher position, not a lateral move.
They have a new AD.I think the funniest thing about this situation is that people are scared of who FSU could hire to replace him. And I get that to a certain extent, but lets remember how Jeremy Foley was absolutely miserable as an AD with all his hires. Depending on if you believe the rumors, he wanted Ferentz after the firing of Zook, Machen did the work on Meyer. Otherwise we know how bad Foley was with his hires. Zook, Muschamp, McElwain. End of story. Most ADs are either good or bad at this kind of thing. And FSUs AD thought Taggart was worthy of being the only guy they needed to spend time going after and now you're scared of him knocking the next hire out of the park? Ill be scared when he actually proves that fear to be rational, otherwise I look forward to FSU hiring Kiffin or some other coach with a limited ceiling
OK, so what's his experience with hiring head football coaches? Because if he has nothing or its not impressive than my overall point sticksThey have a new AD.
Can you believe that turd goes 9-12 and gets to walk with $17 million? It's beyond belief.
