Taggart just got canned, FSU admin got the brass

Maybe this will start a frenzy and our AD will pull the trigger, like he's currently being pressured to do so. Clearly FSU saw some advantage to removing Taggart early, could they send our AD's office some bullet points or maybe even a flow chart?

One can dream.

Only matters if you make an early hire post season, even then in regard to the first signing day.

Odds are FSU has their man in principle, which is good as long as someone better doesn't also have him in mind other wise you end up with Jon pelphrey/Chad Morris type hire.

Basically it is better to get it right then to do it first.

We have to go get him. Now

I know nothing, but I'll predict that if we lose by an two score margin (basically a replay of the North Texas game), Morris will be canned next Sunday.

They *might* fire him anyway if we lose in a close game, but if it isn't close I'm saying they will.

Is this where I append my post with "Porkatarian out"?

I'm hearing a loss in any fashion is fireable, and really that SHOULD be the case. National pundits are now saying that Chad will be fired after the game if we lose to WKU.

We need to make a move and start trying to get our guy locked up in principle. I'm worried FSU will go after Norvell and have a head start. Or they'll go after Mark Stoops, then UK will go after Leach since they have a connection and he'd probably take it.

We just need to accept that this will be the new normal with the early signing period and make the big boy move.

It's like Avengers Endgame; out of 14 million possible outcomes there's only 1 that gets us the win, and (spoiler alert) Iron Man has to die to get us there even if it sucks.

Leach would for sure jump to Kentucky. The Stoops to FSU thing is apparently getting some steam. It does make sense given his connections there, but Norvell or Kiffin also seem like totally logical fits.

Let me get this out.... I wouldn't have a problem with Kiffen overall, however I see this ending not so well for us.

He is a good OC, and a decent coach, but also an impetuous child...

Leach would absolutely frustrate coaches in this league, especially the Miss Schools, TAMU, and win some that would absolutely astonish some folks, and then lose to someone who game planned against him for weeks that he shouldn't. But, we would be tough, no more cuddly crap.

Norvell would be my choice period... Or Clark at UAB...

But I wouldn't rule out Leach at all...

Definitely not, I know there's a lot of big name guys that are high on him. I'm just worried that UK gets the jump on us and he takes it, after being the guy we set our sights on all along.

We all know how things tend to fall apart when our first choice falls through. I don't know if Leach IS the first choice, just that this would totally be our luck. Then by the time that all shakes out Norvell is gone too. That would be the most "Arkansas" outcome that comes from waiting.

Maybe I just have PTSD and Yurachek will be different though.

BTW, I just heard that FSU pulled the trigger on Taggart because they were in line to lose $10 million in ticket sales next year because attendance is down an average of 15,000 per game.

I would assume the numbers at Arkansas are similar or worse.

Just pull off the band aid now.
