Article by Antwon "Smitty" Smith It's been a roller coaster ride for Florida State head football coach Willie Taggert in his first season in Tallahassee, but after a 49-point loss to Clemson, his seat may warm up just a little. The Seminoles fall to 4-4 on the season, which puts them one step closer to a losing season and missing a bowl game, something they haven't done in 36 years. Taggert a Florida State alum, is taking over for Jimbo Fischer who took the Texas A&M in the off-season signing a 10-year/$75 million dollar deal to coach in College Station.

Zach Smith was fired by the university after it learned of domestic violence reports that date back to 2009 and 2015. Meyer said in an interview that he ...
