Congrats.

Off to a great start. From an outsider, it looks to me like the offense is not clicking like it did last year at the end of the season, and you are still dominating everyone you play. Once the offense gets really clicking..... Wow!!

Now, y'all can have fun piling on me. When Taggart I was hired I thought he was a great hire. Now, I have changed my opinion to where I expect us to let him coach 4 years and then replace him. We are gonna be in for a long, dry spell. We are a combination of undisciplined and also have poor execution, both offense and defense. Both of those relate directly to coaching. I know y'all struggled with Kevin Steele as your DC. Well, we have our version of Steele - Harlon Barnett.

As Coach Venabels said in his post game interview, "You want to play well. If the players don't play well, that means we didn't do a good job coaching them." (I love your entire staff. Every time I hear any of them speak to the media they are pure class - very humble and thankful. They are great ambassadors for Clemson.)

Well, for 3 weeks, our coaches have done an amazingly poor job coaching.

Looks like I will have to be content to root for my second favorite team in football. Y'all just keep winning and enjoying the ride. I remember how much fun it was for Nole fans in the 90s. Cherish these times.

And, just keep winning.

Yes, unless the worst case scenario happens (which is possible, but not likely).

It would cost 20 million to fire him in December. FSU doesn't have a Phil Knight or a T Boone Pickens (RIP) to write that kind of check.And, then on top of that sign another guy to a multi-year 30 million dollar contract.

I think, because of finances, he'll get 4 years.

Now, if he completely loses the team and we end up 2-10 or 3-9 that might change. But, I think even a 4-8 season (quite possible as horribly as the defense is playing) won't get him fired.

Note: I first visited TigerNet because I love to follow the coaching carousel. I joined here when y'all were in the process that ended up with Tommy Bowden being hired.

So, I've already got my short list for who, if I were AD, I would be haivng my representative contact their agents "just in case."

Right now, my problem is who would want to leave where they are now and come to FSU. Whenever our job opens it won't be nearly as attractive as it was when we hired Taggart.

But, here is my list, as of today.

1. Josh Huepel. (But, I figure he will be headed to Oklahoma whenever Lincoln Riley goes to the NFL.)

Others, in no particular order: Matt Rhule, Baylor - Mike Norvell, Memphis - Seth Littrell, N TX ST - Matt Campbell, IA ST (but I don't think he would come)

If we had to go the assistant route, Tony Elliott would be on my list, but I think when he wantsw a HC job there will be an offer from a school better than FSU.

That's another reason I think Taggart gets a long leash. Who can we hire to replace him?

$20 M buyout would be a tough one to stomach!

Re: You think taggert will last this season?...***

Who can you hire? FSU still has a brand name

The fact that y’all couldn’t run up and clock the ball at

Thanks for the kind words

Never did I ever think FSU would ever get as low as you have

Our current situation reminds me of the Noles in the 90s***

Take it from this life long Tiger fan
