Willie Taggart to Become the Next FAU Football Head Coach
• My question about his "great recruiting" does his image get tarnished due to what happened at FSU?
• I'm not sure whether i like or hate the hire, I'll give him a chance and see what he does.
• His record sticks out as not so good, but do have to account for the time he was fixing broken programs.
• He has a great program in place, don't F it up!
• And, I'd feel better if he does keep Spencer on DC
Bottom line, we are all OWLS, no matter what, the ups and downs, the good and the bad, no matter the coach, we stick by this program. It's what unites us, it's why I love college football… as always GO OWLS!!!!
Below are the biggest takeaways.
UPDATE: Willie Taggart signs a 5 year deal, worth $750K per year.

I also expect we have the buyout money from Lane's departure to aid with the assistants, too! Somebody else asked this, but does anybody know an accurate number on what we got from Lane/Ole Miss?

I am enthusiastic that Taggart took $750k (a sizable chunk below what Kiffin was making) because 1) he has all that FSU money coming but more importantly 2) he recognizes the need to have more $$$$s for really good assistants.

I think Taggart genuinely loves FAU. He mentioned he wants to stay a long time. Maybe he’s the guy that gets us in the top 25

If we win the Boca Bowl there is a very good chance we end the year in the top 25.

I saw that his buyout, including the house loan, was $2.3 million.
With Taggart getting 750k there should be plenty of money left for him to have a good chunk of money for his assistant salary pool.
