Taggart's firing is the real power of a fan base

It wasn't a fan Gofundme that raised $20million, it was private donors from their wealthy alumni.

They found a few super rich boosters who wanted him out anyway & didn't care what it costs.

I get what you're trying to say OP, but the regular Joe Schmo fan had nothing to do with Tagg getting fired this fast.

It was the Money Men who control what goes on behind the scenes at their program who decided they had had enough of Taggart & pulled the trigger.

Miami's problem is our Money Men aside from maybe one or two of them really aren't that passionate about Football & don't give two sh*t who we hire or fire. They leave everything up to the President & AD, they take a complete hands off approach in dealing with the football program.

FSU's private donors ONLY care about football, our donors just see us as a Tax write-off.

This is not true.
 
I don’t get what OP is insinuating? Fans had nothing to do with willie getting fired. FSU powers that be give a **** of a lot more **** about winning than Miami’s. That’s all it’s about. Nothing more, nothing less.

that doesn't tell other fans to not go to the games or support the program when things aren't going great. Taggart being fired after one and a half seasons is the REAL fan/alumni leverage I've been talking about. Not these banners. We all know **** well had Willie been here we would of had to suck with him until 2021.

One of the big component to his firing his been ticket sales/attendance. Why does FSU immediately see changes after a decline in attendance/sales when they hire a corch and Miami doesn't? It because we don't show up/support consistently in order to pull the chair under the administration like FSU fans/alumni does. That's leverage as a fan base getting the admin to become reliant on our source of revenue then cutting it off when we want changes. Not banners.

I hope beyond all hope that you are correct. He'll not only whoop Manny's *** on the field...but he'll embarrass him on the recruiting trail. We need Urban to land a job like USC wayyyyyyyy out there on the west coast.

Florida has no personal income tax .... Urban is an *******, but he is not stupid.

I don't think this is a cut and dry situation for them. I guess its good you listened to the fanbase/boosters, but what kind of precedent does it set?

How are they going to attract quality candidates when they didn't even give Willie a full two years to turn it around?

Easy 5 years 4-5 mil a year with a 25 mil. buyout
 
He got embarrassed at home by Miami. Like Clemson did to Golden. Like Richt was by Whisky. Golden canned. Richt refused ordered changes. So, Miami has done exactly what happened to Willie. Miami just isn’t dumb enough, of late, to give a 17 million buyout. That was nuts. Was he planning on sucking? He wasn’t good enough to warrant that.

Taggarts firing is a sign of a impatient idiotic fan base and racist boosters. I hope it bites them in the ***. If you hire a coach you should be prepared to roll with him for the minimum 3 years. Taggart was good enough for them to hire so he didn't all of a sudden become a bad coach.

I want to say there is no way in **** they get Meyer but 2 days ago I thought there was no way in **** they fire taggart win or loss. FSU fans/boosters/alumni ain't on that Canes BS. They really put their money where their money is.
