WarTiger 3,901 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I knew he wouldn't last the day he was hired, but to fired less than 2 years in is a bit surprising. They have royally sucked his entire time there, but, while I think very little of Taggart as a coach, he walked in to a train wreck left by Fisher. Next coach isn't likely to do any better any time soon. I wanted them to keep Taggart forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auctoritas 2,828 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 A cautionary tale on many levels. Will be interesting to see who they get. Going to be interesting to see who they CAN get, and how short a leash they're going to be on. FSU is about to be in a world of hurt. Good name recognition, but at this point that's about all it has going for it. Fisher left a mess, Taggart was in the middle of...uh...rearranging the rubble. Going to be a few more years of transition. My guess is they go after Josh Heupel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not leaving before next year where he’ll have senior year McKenzie Milton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WDE_OxPx_2010 5,290 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Is FSU delusional? What are they expecting less than 2 years removed from a new hire? Goodness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current Amended Contract, changed the contract year to Jan 1 - Dec 31, starting Jan 1, 2018. His buyout is based on 75% of his remaining contract. Jan 1, 2020 would start a new contract year.

He would be owed 50% of his buyout in 30 days from termination date and the remainder in equal annual installments over a four year period with the first installment due on the first July 15 following termination.
