Here's what I would do:
- Consolidate the DB coaching role and bring in someone elite there OR remove Striker job role and move that under to Safetys. Either way this frees up a coaching spot.
- Hire a full time Special Teams coach with that freed up spot.
- Bring in a high level coach as an analyst who can really help in recruiting (like how Bama has Butch Jones on staff). You guys laugh, but Zach Smith is an elite recruiter who can prob out recruit everyone on our staff in South Florida and sort of mentor/assit some of these guys who really struggle. If Taggart gets fired, I would try to get him immediately so he can earn his money at FSU by not taking an assistant job, but can stay in the game and help us as an analyst. In the near term, at least be getting a rolodex of guys here or figuring out what that role looks like.
