There it is, folks. People thought it could be a couple years before Taggart got fired. Here we are on a Sunday afternoon before the season is even over and Taggart has been shown the exit.

I honestly have no idea where FSU goes from here. They used to be a proud program. Now they’re awful and fire coaches less than two years into their tenure.
It’s an absolute dumpster fire in Tallahassee right now, and there’s no other way to spin it. The Seminoles are in major trouble.

We’ll see who FSU hires next. It’s clear that they’re determined on making immediate changes, and that meant Taggart had to go.
