Question for college football experts.

7. This move I don't quite get unless Florida State made an offer he couldn't refuse.

Taggart is a first-year coach whose own recruits haven't even had a chance to play for him yet.

He coached his predeccesor's players this season as he will next season at Florida State so he'll essentially be starting over in the recruiting process.

Another factor is Florida State and Oregon are IMO just about equivalent programs. Both have been to the championship game in the last four years.

Florida State won, Oregon didn't but Oregon has a huge resource in that Nike, the athletic equipment company showers them with top notch uniforms, gear and facilities (Phil Knight, it's CEO is an alum).

Neither school had a great record this year, although Oregon's 7-5 is slightly better than Florida State's steep fall off to 6-6 this year. Seems Taggert could've leveraged the Florida State offer to up his deal with Oregon.
