Found this interesting nugget as written by our own, Jake Elman. Jake can you elaborate?
“TAGGART owes FAU $3 million if he leaves the school or is fired before Dec. 1, 2022. The buyout drops to $1 million if he leaves before Dec. 1, 2023 and $500,000 between Dec. 2, 2023-Dec. 31, 2024.“
Sounds like this idiot might owe us $3 mil if we fire him. If that’s the case, why wait an extra second? Can him and bring in Ken Briles

It’s an obvious mistake in the article. No, he will not owe the university money if they fire him.
If the university fires him without cause he will be owed his annual salary ($750k per year) for up to 3 years or until his contract concludes on Dec 31 2024 or until he terminates employment with the university (presumably by accepting another position elsewhere). It’s pretty much the similar contract terms as for other football coaches at FAU like Partridge and I believe for Kiffin too.
Here are the details of his contract: https://2michy3wy0l30d34041dt1et-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/football/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2018/08/Taggart-Willie-Offer-Letter-Memorandum-of-Understanding-12.12.19.pdf

I think it would be a mistake to fire Willie so quickly. Not only will we not be giving him enough of an opportunity to get his team in place but we will be sending the wrong message to other possible candidates. We should not over react as a fan base and university.

I personally believe we get 1 more year under Taggart but if the trend continues; we will not survive in the AAC.

And losing Robison right before the season. Last year to me was always a wash.owl said
There is no way the university is going to fire him after only two seasons especially with one being so impacted by COVID.]
This year to me was a show and prove year, and there were a few good points (adjustments at half at Charlotte immediately come to mind), but what I saw yesterday and against Marshall was beyond disturbing. With that said, win the last two and show us something, and we can breathe easier – just no signs right now that will happen and I understand the angst coming after the Kiffin era.
Folks also have to realize that another Lane Kiffin aint walking through that door lol. Having him here with that staff was catching lightning in a bottle, and there was still a 5-7, bowless season in the middle of it.

Lots of people (including myself sometimes), act like that 5-7 season never happened lol. Half of the board was ready to put Kiffin on the hot seat after his second season too. I believe that year 3 will determine Taggart's future.
