Indiana stayed at #24 this week in my Top 25. Or many in front of them lost and a big win by Memphis kept them in place.

If both Wake and Texas lose this Saturday during our bye week, we’ll be ranked in the polls coming into Penn St.

I’m banking on the College Football Playoff Rankings that come out on Tuesday to have us ranked...they’re the only ones that matter.

Florida St fired Taggart only in his 2nd season. FSU boosters ponied up $20 mil for the buyout.

Seems like a chicken or egg question. Was Taggart so bad that there was no choice, or did Jimbo leave the cupboard so bare that Taggart needed more time to get things straightened out and nobody would've succeeded that soon?

FSU instability following Jimbo’s tenure landed us Penix and a few others. Allen needs to scoop up who he can while this mess lingers in Tallahassee.

Could have been problems behind the scenes that they want to keep hidden.

Penix was going to Florida St?

I said Taggart would be screwing up by leaving Oregon before he took the FSU job. Thought the Oregon job was better. Still think the Oregon job is better. And look what Oregon is doing now. Back to being a Top 10 team.

The Tampa Bay Times put Allen on their lost of possible replacements for Willie Taggart. If he is FSU’s preferred candidate they will come with bags of cash. Fred is gonna have to pony up big time to keep CTA, at least $3 million/year if not more. That stolen BTN money would have come in useful right about now.

For a high school coach? That is absurd don’t you agree? I mean as soon as two weeks ago hiring a high school coach was enough for you to fire Glass. Now you want him to pay the man? I am shocked. What could have changed so quickly? Seems kind of knee jerk don’t you think? You have been very clear we need to blow up all money making teams and our athletic office. Remember! Glass isn’t capable of doing anything good.

While this made me chuckle, he didn't say he thought he SHOULD do it, just that glass would need to if he wants to keep coach Allen

When the FSU boosters and fan base read that article, their reaction will be: "Who the hell is Tom Allen?" 

He isn't going anywhere.

I think Florida St will expect a big name hire and can afford to pay for it. They wont chance Tom Allen.

He might not be going anywhere but dude needs a legit contract if he’s going to sustain the momentum.

After the Nebraska game Glass said he was getting an extension. I think we will see him in that $3-$3.5 mill range.

No,
I don’t think we have to sweat FSU coming after Allen at this point.

I wish I was smart enough to figure out how to get fired and receive 18-20 million.  Hell, I’d be willing to get fired for a measly 10 million.

Dont sell yourself short I’m sure you’d be worth at least 12 million to fire

I missed that. That’s awesome to hear. Also need more money for the staff and capital improvements. It’s going to get pricey.
