They need a nice southern gentleman that won't ruffle any feathers. I know the perfect guy.

Arkansas on deck...FSU did Arky a favor by setting the “less than 2 years” precedent.

I've heard Norvell's name floated around

No you haven't. (I hope).

Please don't let this even come close to happening.

I could take him going to Arkansas. Not FSU, though. Just.. NO.

Dude took USF from 2-10 to 10-2 in 4 years.

Meanwhile, WTF did Clay Helton do to deserve the USC job? White supremacy hire?

Cue the idiots here who think every failed black coach is an affirmative action hire.

"When we looked at a number of candidates, we knew Willie would rise to the top because of his passion about Florida State, and [having] the same vision that I have about the athletics department that he runs within his football program," Wilcox said.

"The fact he happens to be an African-American is just icing on the cake. … It really is heartwarming to know over my career in fighting to open the doors for more minority head coaches in football and basketball, I finally got an opportunity to do that."

Wilcox, who created the Minority Opportunity Athletics Association and was once president of the Black Coaches Association, believes FSU's decision to hire Taggart can shed greater light on the topic of qualified minority candidates needing to garner consideration for vacant coaching positions across the country.

Even if the next guy doesn't win big, I think they need to go with someone who's going to instill discipline into that program and fix the broken culture.

They honestly should look at a guy like Ken Niumatalolo.

Ah, so they did hire him only because he’s black. Clearly he had no track record before FSU.

They openly talked and boasted about it being such.
