Frost will get at least another year because he is an alumnus. 

That NE D is mediocre.  They have become the lite gray shirts...especially on the road. Martinez is not the guy either.  Enuff of Husker issues.  Sucks my childhood team and alma mater are long shots to bowl.

I thought firing a coach mid season didn't provide any value? I always laughed at people who made that argument with CCS. I'm sure they'll cry some new tune like Poverty or some other straw man argument to distance themselves from their ludicrous statements.

What value does it bring other than making the donors happy?

Taggart was never the right hire for fsu but man what a spoiled ass fanbase. Part of me is jealous they can cobble together 20 million on some angsty boosters, but man. I dunno. I hope they wallow in mediocrity.

That's not the argument many on this board were making about CCS. The constant refrain from the sheep on this board was "who do you replace him with in the middle of the season? It won't make a difference."

Apparently FSU thinks that getting rid of CWT mid season even for $20M will make some kind of difference.

What difference?  It makes the donors raising $20 million happy.  That's it.  Unless Odell Haggins is the man all of a sudden

This guy has been a “fixer” at every stop he has been at pre FSU, including here. I’ve made a career off of that designation as well, I just wish if I failed someone would pay me 20 mil to go away. Dude got a fat check and will be employed again as an FBS head coach by Christmas if he wants to. He’s also be great on TV and has dabbled in it a few times, maybe he goes that route for a few years. People who are thought to be fixers will always be in demand, even if they failed at their last stop it’s all about their track record and FSU can be spun a few ways including as a one off.

They should have never left the Big12? Not seeing NEB vs. Oklahoma on Black Friday is a travesty.

I thought a coach needed three years to get his players into the system?

It's a sliding scale, based on the program's accomplishments, or lack of:

No conference championships - 3 years

At least 1 con championship - 2 years

At least 1 national championship - 1 year

CWT actually got a extra 2/3 of a season ...

It's not that I'm a gigantic fan of Willie Taggart, but I do appreciate what he brought here, and don't really get why some people here seem so elated at his firing.

You are fighting a valiant fight but there is nothing, and I mean nothing, worse than a woman scorned ....

One could argue that's pretty important since they consistently miss bowl games now.  I think BC might whoop the proverbial arse.
