FSU made him an offer he couldn't refuse to pry him out of there after only one year. Question we don't really KNOW the answer is to is if it was another school, would he have left now, even with that salary jump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he thought FSU was coming open for a long time. Fluke that it did and he had to take the opportunity. Might not ever get a chance again. Just bad timing. I truly think it is his dream job. Growing up he was a huge fan. His family still are fans. I think I read where his brother showed up in Nole gear last year when we played them.

Yeah, if you told anybody that FSU would be open back in August, let alone last year, they would've laughed you out of the room. Nobody saw this coming and this is definitely his non-coachspeak college dream job (i'm willing to bet his ultimate goal is to win a super bowl). I mean when you grew up a fan and your family's love for FSU is so deep they wear Nole gear to a game where you're coaching against them, that says everything.

It kind of is, but only because both parties clearly determine and agree how much loyalty they want with the buy-out terms of the contract.

I graduated and the employer where I really wanted to work had a hiring freeze. I went to work for a small engineering firm instead, and about 4 months later the original company called with an offer of around the same percentage increase Taggart's getting. I felt pretty crappy telling my boss I was leaving, but the pay increase and benefits were too great to ignore. What I didn't appreciate was hearing that Taggart contacted at least one recruit before he told his team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had Taggart for 4 years, WKU for 3, getting both programs back on the right track ... Oregon, just stopped the bleeding. Personally, though, I can't feel too sorry for them and it's just some more Karma being a *****. Besides taking Willie from us, first there was December 31, 2007 and then Waverly Austin.
