Report: Florida State considering firing Willie Taggart, pursuing Urban Meyer

The Florida State Seminoles expect to be among college football’s elite, and the fact that they’re not may cost Willie Taggart his job.

According to Zach Barnett of Football Scoop, Florida State has begun discussing Taggart’s future with donors. If the Seminoles limp to the finish line, it is believed that the school could move on from Taggart instead of giving him more opportunity to turn things around, despite the fact that he has a $17 million buyout.

If Florida State were to part ways with Taggart, they would reportedly make Urban Meyer their top target. Meyer coached Florida and had great success there, so he has ties to the area. There is no guarantee that it’s a job Meyer would want, however. The Seminoles will be an extensive rebuilding effort, and it’s not clear whether Meyer would be on board with taking on that responsibility at this stage of his career — especially when he could have his pick of jobs elsewhere.

It’s a perfect fit for Meyer. He likes Florida coeds...

The real reason Meyer left UF. I still say, his ultimate dream was coaching Notre Dame, and he only has to wait about another year or two for that to open up.

No, and Urban Meyer is not about to go to that dumpster fire.

And a humongous buyout if they fired the previous guy after less than 2 seasons.

It’s been VERY LONG TIME AGO, but the prettiest coeds were at FSU. Other southern schools just couldn’t compete. Ole Miss Co-Ed’s were something special, too.

We can start by blaming Texas A & M for stealing Jimbo.

He ruined a program and flew the coop. PBAH

It has been all FUBAR since Bowden retired. Heavy sigh.

This, I am in perfect accord.

F- Meyer. Gators fans still haven’t forgiven him for faking a heart condition

The sillynoles will soon announce the solution to all of their problems:
