The beginning of Willie Taggart's Florida State career hasn't gone according to anybody's plan. The Seminoles missed a bowl game for the first time in 36 years following a 2018 season that included blowout losses at the hands of Virginia Tech, Syracuse, Clemson, Notre Dame and Florida, and his second season hasn't been much better thus far. Now, even the kids are upset with Taggart.

The Tallahassee Democrat reports that Clayton Grant, a 4-year-old Florida State fan who lives in Tallahassee, set up a "Free Willie" lemonade stand in front of his grandmother's house. He charged $20 per cup and raised $241 in three hours, which his father matched and donated to Seminole Boosters. The Grants sent a letter with the check that explained its purpose.

I speculate that right now Les Miles is getting phone calls from Knoxville and Tallahassee.

Can’t believe that there are 11 coaches on a hotter seat than Randy Edsall.
