I’ll probably catch a lot of sHT for saying this and I hope it’s not taken out of context as to its meaning.
I think a statement like Uncle Luke made is a reason some schools may shy away from hiring a minority coach especially an AA coach cause they fear the blowback.If they have to fire them the reason they are getting fired is usually thrown aside and racial overtones like what Luke said take the forefront.
Anyone that thinks Taggert doesn’t deserve to be fired is crazy.Not just their record since he’s been there but their team and players like Herbstreit said are out of control.And to top it off their recruiting which has always been top notch no matter how bad they were has been spiraling down.
**** we’ve joked on here since the guy was hired that we hoped he would stay forever because of how bad he sucked.
Willie Taggart deserved to be fired no matter what the color of his skin is.He should of never been hired.FSU is bad,their recruiting and player evaluations suck and it’s spiraling downward daily.**** we are screaming for Manny’s head halfway through his first season.So if he gets canned like most of us want will That be a firing that’s racially motivated or will it be because he sucks as a HC.JUST LIKE TAGGERT.
Taggert is on the verge of setting that program back for years.Great for us but bad for them.Unlike Miami where we have people in charge that could give a sHT and would have let him destroy the program FSU seems to care about their program and did whatever was needed no matter the cost to save it.As bad as their resources are they are going to end up spending around 40 million dollars ,money that could have been spent on upgrading facilities to get rid of him .Personally like the rest of you I wish he’d of stayed there forever.The guy made life easy for us even as bad as our HC and staff are.
Sometimes things may be done for the wrong reason.Dont think this firing is one of them.
Let the bashing begin.
