FSU looks pretty stupid running Jimbo off now.

They didn't run him off.....A&M outbid them

FSU wasn't able to come close to the amount of money (10 yr @ $75mil) that the Aggies offered him. Since they either weren't able or chose not to spend that money they will have to spend over $20 million for Taggart's buyout if they fire him.

They didn't run him off but they sure were talking about it

No Jimbo looks brilliant for leaving before this season.


Sep 15, 2018, 10:20 PM

He might have been fired.

Kind of reminds you of the Ol' Balls@&% bailing out on the chickens like he did.

They didn't run him off. He knew he the program was in bad shape he would likely be gone after another bad year or two. He left for the job security and outrageous guaranteed money.

They should have run him off 3 years ago


Sep 15, 2018, 10:44 PM

That's when he stopped coaching the team and let it fall apart. That's the reason they're in the shape they're in now.

Jimbo left for a multitude of reasons, both personal and professional in nature, but FSU refused to do upgrades to keep up with Clemson and surrounding programs and Jimbo saw the handwriting on the wall. He was wise to move when he did with the money and resources involved.

2 years ago I posted that Jimbo should go to LSU because FSU had peaked. Most on here said I was crazy. FSU would always be near the top. He waited 1 more year and then bailed, but it sure looks like they peaked 2-3 years ago.

FSU was fast becoming "just another team on the schedule", and not a serious threat to dominate anyone. Jimbo would have been fired this year had he not managed to land the TAM job. FSU is in serious trouble IMO, and will take 3-5 years to become competitive enough to be in any conversations about the playoffs. I doubt that Taggart can do it though. I won't change my mind about him until he proves anything.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I thought he left because FSU couldn’t match the huge raise


Sep 16, 2018, 10:00 AM

that A&M was offering him, not that they ran him off.
