Lots of negative comments on Facebook. As I recall there were plenty of negative comments about Kiffin when it was announced.
My take on this is we are all arm chair quarter backs. We don’t know what White knows. What’s done is done. Let’s trust the AD and see how this works out.Posted On: Dec 11th 2019, 10:00 PM #392193
Facebook has lot of stupid people so what else is new?

The negative sentiment on here is ridiculous. This is not the ACC, Pac 10, Oregon or FSU. Mind you, I agree he did a terrible job at FSU – but those expectations are light years ahead of those here and he clearly was not ready for that. He can win here just like he won at WKU and USF afer turning those programs around, and he will be the best recruiter in C USA, period. With the right staff in place we can still thrive. I am absolutely fine with this hire and it's unreal to me how FAU fans somehow feel entitled enough to say a major hire like Taggart is a negative lol – unreal.Posted On: Dec 11th 2019, 7:23 PM #392176
I sure hope all those ppl with comments attend a game. Many people commenting dont support the program!

He had some good recruiting classes before the recruits caught on (last year's FSU class was not good and he failed to bring in enough offensive linemen through the portal or transfers to meet his most pressing need, and this year's class was not going to be where it needed to be).Posted On: Dec 11th 2019, 5:14 PM #392148
let's be fair, 24/7 has FSU as the #25 recruiting class in the nation…. even after Jacksonville 5 star QB Sims recently decommited…. c'mon fellas

All the losses this year were to Bowl teams. 5 points to Boise, 7 points to Virginia, 2 points to Wake Forest included. And they did beat Louisville. They also beat Syracuse and N.C. State who were not good teams this year.
No, FSU is not ready to compete with Clemson or Florida (lost badly to them after Willie fired) and yes UM handled them easily. But something else is up when ya fire a HC mid-season of his second year when he is still using Jimbo's leftovers and the WORLD knows Jimbo left a dumpster fore in a hurry and totally bailed on FSU.
Let's hope that yet another schools STUPID expectations of immediate glory (FSU) dropped us a timely gift!

I am still trying to figure out what was so awful about Taggert on the field at FSU.

How's this? Made over 25 Million in the last 5 years, his lackluster career record is 56-62 and never won a bowl game. Just plain crazy….
Also on the repeated "good recruiter" comment. We don't need a good recruiter we need a good coach. For example, Charlie Partridge was a good recruiter but couldn't turn it into victories. So we hire LK who isn't a great recruiter but is one hell of a coach and look what happened.
I hope he proves me wrong….
Go Owls!

If we had made this hire after a couple 3-9 seasons, we would be praising Brian White and John Kelly as geniuses who somehow pulled off the impossible.
As long as we keep going to bowl games and competing for the CUSA championship on a regular basis, we'll be fine. We're a program looking for consistency, not national championships.
