It's not too surprising that Willie Taggert was fired at FSU, but I thought they'd wait until after the season. Taggert is a victim of the Peter Principle: you rise to your level of incompetence. He had a losing record overall (56-62) and has had only one winning program: Oregon, 7-5.
What is startling is that the alumni and boosters raised the $17M + to buyout his contract. Like what Michigan did to hire Harbaugh, this is what serious programs do, and why they are successful.
Could you see our alums ponying up serious dollars to buyout a coach and pay to hire a big-named one?
