From FSU. Just saw it on ESPN.

           :wave:

Does this mean you are available to be Free Shoes University's head coach?  :lol2:

I never understood why FSU shelled out all that money to get Taggart from Oregon.  Oregon was happy to see him go -- they went 7-5 overall and 4-5 in the Pac-12 in 2017 with Taggart at the helm. Sure, FSU might have been desperate with Jimbo leaving, but still.... 

FSU has more potential than any other ACC team. 
I repeat, "BYE BYE".
 :wave:

Serious question; does FSU go after Urban or somebody else? I personally think Urban has no interest to go there, but they must have somebody in mind to fire Taggart in the middle of the season.

FSU must have wanted an early start this time on the coaching carousel.  And had seen enough of Taggart after losing at home 27-10 to Miami yesterday.

FSU is heading towards its second season in a row of not being bowl eligible -- prior to Taggart FSU had the longest active bowl participation streak. 

So who do they hire?  Lane Kiffin?  Steve Sarkisian?   :lol2:

Look up.  :lol2:

Dude, it's Stoops!

 :lol: :lol:

Urban Meyer. RTR!

After the loss to Oregon, USC is prolly moving toward offering Urban their coaching position.  That was the talk all summer.  No idea if he'd go there, but he'd MUCH sooner go to USC than FSU.

 :popcorn2:

The Urban Meyer to USC talk is interesting. I don’t think he is a good fit at USC, plus with his off field problems at Florida & Ohio State might be problematic. USC has been in turmoil since Carroll left in 2010. It’s been a nonstop soap opera. Does USC want to risk more off field problems with Meyer as coach?

I think Meyer is a better fit at FSU but FSU facilities and fan base are not so great. Of course, Florida has no state income tax while California has the highest state income tax at 13%. Real estate is crazy priced in the LA area, cost-of-living ridiculous, not to mention the homeless problem, crime, mudslides, wildfires, earthquakes, etc. Other than that, it’s a great place to live. I have lived in Tallahassee and it was a nice family-oriented town.


 ???

Just because you would rather live in Florida than California doesn't mean Urban would choose to play Florida and Clemson every year.   :lol:

Does this energize the Auburn faithful?

"By golly, if FSU can raise $20M in buy-out money, so can we!"

 :lol: :lol:

Some guy on Twitter was claiming that WT's firing was race related.  No, it is because he wasn't winning football games!   :wall:

FSU has been no good since the way they kicked Bobby Bowden out. RTR!

They won a National Championship four years after Bowden was let go, but it did seem to derail on Jimbo pretty quickly afterwards.

In actuality, I don't think Bobby did any coaching since about 2000.

I agree with CP, it's prolly going to be BOB STOOPS.

They'll try to woo all the big names, like subURBAN and such, but will settle on Stoops.

 :popcorn2:

Like everybody else they will come after an Alabama man to fill those shoes as HC. RTR!

Just wonder if Scott Frost has had enough at Nebraska and would welcome a move back to an area where he had success.  Don't know if FSU would go for him though given his lack of success at Neb.

This sounds crazy but FSU is in such a mess that they have to think outside the box and can't be too picky.

Ed Zachary! Who the heck is out there that wants to inherit that train wreck?

Having said that; there's no way to go but up, and they are in a fertile recruiting area. But still, they are a mess. I don't see Urbane, Frost, Fleck or either of the Stoops going there.

As soon as Calipari starts crowing in Kentucky, and that cold winter wind blows... 

IT'S STOOPS who goes south to FSU.

 :)

In fairness to Scott Frost, he was not aware of the Chech curse when he accepted the position.

He dang sure should have asked, huh?   >:(

:lol:

Bwaaahaaahaaahaaa!!!!!!!!!  :lol:

Thank you very much, thank you.
Let it be known that I could be bought.  Just lower the motel rate to its previous $85/night, and I'm satisfied.  Friggin' $350, and I hope they never win again.

APOLOGIES TO MISS TERRIE'S HUSBAND.

I'm rooting for Steve Ensminger.

You're selling yourself short.  There's big money in football.  They should pay you to stay there. 

You can be my agent.  Next May when I'm there I'll put you on the phone with Mr. Cornhusker.

My hourly rate may exceed your hotel bill.   :lol:

"Just for fun odds" on Taggart's repaclement.

At the top of the list; Matt Campell - Iowa St.

Then Mark Stoops followed by Bob Stoops.

Until proven otherwise, I'm sticking with:


Dude, it's Stoops!

How about the from uscw he will need a job. RTR!

PJ Fleck, Minnesota coach (8-0) signs 7 year extension. Guess he’s not going to FSU. FSU fans are insistent that Bob Stoops will be next coach. I don’t see it.



 :dog:

Bob Stoops is outdoors somewhere laughing. RTR!

Remember the Tennessee head coaching search/fiasco? UT fans were POSITIVE they were getting Jon Gruden or Bob Stoops, then Chip Kelly. How did that go?




 :lol2:

True, but can't get much worse than FSU under Willie Taggart.

According to FoxNews, Dion Sanders (https://www.foxnews.com/sports/deion-sanders-florida-state-job-report) may be in the running for the head coaching position at FSU.  I don't see anything that could go wrong with that.  Nothing at all...  :eyeroll:

Dieon is neon crazy. He couldn't coach volley ball. RTR!
