Plus 3m still owed to oregon plus 1.3 owed to ucf.
Imagine jen having the ballz to do something like this.
Imagine having the boosters that cared about football enough to force this hand in the AD. Some even saying it was privately funded.
(Psst. Savvy isn't going to FSU.)

They care and expect to win. I knew Taggart was going to be axed this year or next. They should have never hired him, but they deserve props for not letting this go on and cutting bait early.
Frankly I'm shocked that an AD stupid enough to hire him and saddle themselves with that buyout had the brains to fire him. There can't possibly be anyone outside FSU circles who is surprised he failed. Is there? This was more of a guarantee than Ty or Gilby at UW.

FSU was built similar to the Boise model. For decades, FSU played and scheduled as an independent picking who they played and when. FSU and Miami were doomed once they joined a conference. Being close to fertile recruiting grounds, FSU will pop every now and then but they will never return to their glory days. Boosters will wring their hands and throw money at it but it isn't going to happen.
They're in the ACC which, outside of Clemson, is the worse P5 conference wiff a bullet. I don't think recruiting talent is an issue, it's been coaching going back to Bowden getting old, Jimbo getting comfy after winning a natty and then hiring Will. FSU is very similar to USC.
To add to the recruiting piece, their last 5 classes (2015-2019) were ranked like this:
2015 - 3 (7) 247 ranking in parentheses
2016 - 3 (2)
2017 - 6 (6)
2018 - 11 (14)
2019 - 19 (26)

0 championships until they joined the ACC.
Won the ACC each of their first nine years.
Lost two conference games total in those nine years.
They just need a coach.
There is no reason for Florida State not to be good. A great coach could still build a monster program there. It just needs to become a cool place to play again.
Florida schools lose a lot of top players to the top SEC teams and Clemson. Get some of those guys, evaluate better with the others, and develop.

And tallatrashy is a shit hole so all there is to do is play football, practice football, think about football, play class, think about banging chicks, and then of course bang chicks.
There is enough talent at FSU today for a great coach to win 11 games next season.
Neither talent nor coaching alone wins. Its the combo plate that gets it done

I hope you're right
Pretty sure I’m wrong.

So if UW wins out and wins their bowl game and has 9 wins, where does this leave you? Still FirePete, or he’s a decent coach who won 9 games in a down year?

You act like firing Willie was some kind of act of courage or evidence of CARING about football again. It wasn't. Willie was so obviously over his head there was no way anyone could justify keeping him. Even Todd Turner would've fired the guy.

What kind of nonsense is this? 2014 was not that long ago.
Watch peterman not have the courage to make three tough decisions about coaches and then pop off.
It was an obvious act done by a school that gives a fuck about football.
