Florida State hires Willie Taggart to replace Jimbo Fisher as head coach
Florida State’s first coaching search in more than four decades lasted just five days. FSU has reached an agreement with Oregon coach Willie Taggart on Tuesday to become the Seminoles’ new head football coach, a source told the Orlando Sentinel. A formal announcement on Taggart’s hiring is expected by the university later today with an introductory press conference expected on Wednesday. Taggart, a Palmetto native and former USF head coach who has worked under Jack and Jim Harbuagh, became one of the hottest available coaches in the country after his final season with the Bulls in 2016. Now, Taggart will be tasked with replacing Jimbo Fisher, who won a national title in 2013 and was introduced as Texas A&M’s new coach Monday after agreeing to a 10-year deal worth $75 million guaranteed. Florida State officials met with Taggart after he took a recruiting trip in Arizona on Monday. He informed Oregon players of his intention to take the FSU job on Tuesday afternoon, according to a source. Taggart’s hiring marks the end of one of most historical, yet contentious, sequences in Florida State history after Fisher raised tensions while negotiating for his new position. Fisher’s lack of comment on returning to FSU amid Texas A&M coaching rumors while openly criticizing FSU’s commitment to providing improvements to its football program damaged goodwill between Fisher and FSU officials at the end of his tenure. The Seminoles hope for a fresh start under Taggart, who will FSU’s third coach since 1976, joining legendary coach Bobby Bowden (1976-2009) and Fisher (2010-2017), and the 10th coach in program history. Terms of Taggart’s agreement with FSU are not known at this time. Taggart led Oregon to a 7-5 record this season, an improvement from its 4-8 record a season ago, despite losing starting quarterback Justin Herbert to a collarbone injury for much of the season. Taggart has a 47-50 overall record in his eight seasons as a head coach, but rebuilt Western Kentucky and USF to winning programs after his brief tenures at both schools. At USF, Taggart’s record gradually climbed from 2-10, 4-8, 8-5 to 10-2 from 2013-16, where the Bulls ranked 19th in the final Associated Press poll in his final season. FSU beat USF 55-35 in 2016, with the Bulls’ 11th-ranked offense scoring the fourth-most against the Seminoles defense, which ranked 22nd nationally, trailing the only teams to beat FSU that season in Louisville, Clemson and North Carolina. Taggart’s coaching career began immediately after graduating from WKU in 1997. He served as an assistant head coach, offensive coordinator and position coach under Jack Harbaugh for seven seasons, highlighted by a Division I-AA national title in 2002 Current Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh hired Taggart as an assistant at Stanford, where he coached running backs for from 2007-09, guiding Heisman Trophy finalist Toby Gerhart. Taggart won two games in his first season as Western Kentucky’s head coach, matching the same winning total in the previous two seasons, before consecutive 7-5 seasons in 2011 and 2012. Taggart led WKU to the program’s first bowl game in his final season before taking the USF job. Taggart, who won a state 5A championship at Bradenton Manatee High in 1992 and was runner up in 1993, also has extensive ties to the state of Florida that could help in recruiting. Florida State hopes Taggart can revive the 2018 recruiting class, which dropped to 32nd this week after losing seven pledges. Under Fisher, the Seminoles had eight consecutive Top 10 recruiting classes. “I think that’s very important that they are able to recruit in the state of Florida. That’s what we’ve always been able to do,” Wilcox said about potential coaching candidates after FSU’s bowl-clinching win over Louisiana-Monroe last Saturday. “If they have a proven track record of being a great recruiter, and a great recruiter in the state of Florida and South Florida, that’s going to be a very good criteria we’re looking for.” Taggart becomes the first African American coach at Florida State — a feat he also accomplished at Western Kentucky, USF and Oregon. Fisher left for Texas A&M after weeks of negotiating the richest valued contract in college football history. His relationships with FSU president John Thrasher, athletics director Stan Wilcox and the hierarchy of Seminoles Boosters began to wear on all parties involved as Fisher publicly lobbied for the expedited construction of a football-only facility among other improvements. Adding to the frustrations, Florida State began the season as a No. 3 preseason team, before falling to 2-5, and regrouping to become bowl eligible in the season finale against Louisiana Monroe last week. The Seminoles will finish the season against Southern Miss on Dec. 27 at the Independence Bowl in Shreveport, La.
Tristan Thompson and David West Kiss (WHAT REALLY HAPPENED) PURE STEAM
In a volatile altercation resulting in a steamy Oracle Arena, Cleveland Cavaliers Center, Tristan Thompson, and David West of the Power Rangers-esque, Golden State Warriors shared a moment of pure man-on-man intimacy during game five of the NBA finals. Instead of a progressive and emotionally accepting crowd shedding tears of unity and dumbstruck awe, the NBA was instead confronted by America's ugly side: the ilk of the homosexual shaming, tractor wielders of the west. Ron Artest (Metta World Peace) of the Los Angeles Lakers was even struck in the cranium by a thrown glass of beer resulting in him shedding his alter ego of priori peacefulness and instead, going both Super Saiyan and Shiny Metta World Peace where he then managed to knock out a row of fans and finally punch one Piston's fan so hard that their intestines have officially landed on Mars as of now. This extraordinary space expedition by this man's intestines resulted in the first ever carbon, organic matter to reach Mars' surface which has led to Steven Hawking gaining control of his left arm and NASA to comment on such a miracle as "heavily improbable." World Peace was allegedly vacationing at his usual spot fans know as the Oracle Arena Reviewing Desk.
