FSU and taggert: Has anyone been on an FSU board or

talked to any FSU fans to gauge if they seem content to give Taggert some time to imporve the Noles or are they already getting anxious to get rid of him? I say that's a little pre-mature but we know how Nole fans are!

Barring a nasty scandal or something, no coach is going

to get less than two seasons. I don't think it matters at all what the fans on Warchant think.
Taggart has always been more a builder anyway. He's never gone into a job and made a huge impact immediately. It's been year 2 or year 3 before his programs have really taken a leap.
What's different this time though is he didn't take over a complete dumpster fire. Jimbo certainly left some problems behind - the OL is terrible and has been a problem for several years now and there were seemingly discipline and team chemistry issues toward the end of Jimbo's tenure - but this was still a pile of gold compared to what Taggart has inherited at other stops. Yet you do have to wonder if maybe last year's 6-6 finish wasn't just a fluke. Maybe there was more wrong with FSU than everyone assumed.
Barring a major upset over Clemson, ND, or Florida, it looks like FSU is heading towards another 5-6 win season. After two clunkers in a row i think everyone at FSU will expect to see some progress next year. If Taggart fails to deliver that I'm sure he will start to feel a little heat, but i really expect him to still be coaching there until at least 2020.

Taggart's in over his head

Let's hope someone else hires the WF & Cuse HC's before WT's time runs out @ FSU. Both of them would be dangerous down there.

He still believes in WT but there’s plenty of the fan base that is questioning the hire. He definitely appears to be in over his head from what I’ve seen and the recruiting hasn’t been nearly as good as they were expecting.

talk Kelly B into coming down to Tally and taking over for Frenchy next year. With that OL they have down there KB would be running on just about every play... running for his life!!!

A lot of people were surprised when FSU hired Taggart...

Notwithstanding his final two seasons at Central Florida (8-5 and 11-3 respectively), his results as a head coach haven't been particularly impressive. In fact, his all-time win loss record is two games below .500 (51 - 53).

I think it was the best hire that could be made at the time. Who out there was better??? You have to give him some time. Nobody said Dabo was going to come in and win championships 10 years ago but look where they are now. WT is a players coach and he cares about off the field as much as on. This team had culture issues and deficiencies at multiple positions. It will take time to his his guys in. I think that hire is better than giving some washed up P5 coach a second chance.

No, but from what I've read

Taggart seems pretty sure of himself that his "team", especially defense, is just as good as ours!!
We'll see about that!
