Taggart blames hydration for loss
- Thread starter PacoGator19

Bwahahahaha! But cool, dry mountain air Broncos were just fine in that hot, humid Florida air. No doubt Boise brought their own Gatorade while FSU bitterly drank their Powerade, that musta been the difference, hahahaha. Just drink the GATORade Nolies! Hahahaha.
Allow me to clear it up (and referenced at the bottom of the article):
"The defense's inability to get off the field and the offense's inability to stay on the field led to Boise State BEATING THE SHIT out of FSU and possessing the ball for over 40 minutes."

Some team from Idaho didn’t have a problem with it.
FSUs team is the same as last year in that they are really soft. That starts from the head coach.

Must be time to take the Seminole firewater out of retirement. You know, when it was revealed to us in 2008?
OMG!!! Willie T may have jyst cost himself $17 million!!! He, his S&C Staff & U of Oregon were sued by multiple players about hydration policies claiming kidney damage. Willie T & Oregon settled quickly and one of the stipulations was Willue had to publicly acknowledge the intentional mistakes made during training violated the training/hydration policies adopted at all levels of Football that were adapted after the deaths of Football players 20+ years ago (including UF's Eraste Autin, FSU's Devard (?) Darling, & Minnesota Vikings Korey Stringer)
The post game statements by some players can now be looked at with a different lense with WillieT's radio statement now public....pretty obvious that the University's hydration protocols were not followed....which puts FSU into Legal Liability for any damages or injuries resulting from the activities.....Therefore VOIDING HIS BUYOUT!!!
The door is legally open for FSU to walk thru....

WiLLLLLLLLie will fix it; worry not. They just need a new OC and to recruit better.
Oh wait.......
Oh wait.......
Mmmm he just went 5-7 in the ACC. That isn’t very good. He’s just as bad if not worse than Mac.
Mac went 22-12 at UF. Willie is sitting at 5-8 right now. Yes that is how bad Willie is.
And that was a lucky 5-7. Normally when a team that's usually good has a down year like that, they lost a bunch of close games, so they would say something like "we were snakebit, we lost 4 games by single digits, with some breaks we could have been 9-3". But FSU was 3-1 in games decided by 10 points or less. If they would have been "snakebit" last year they would have been 3-9 or 2-10.
Willie T. did say the fans would see improvement this week vs. Louisiana Monroe? Um, didn’t they almost lose to a Division 2 team LY?
“I just want to clarify comments that I made Monday night on my radio show. It went viral. For some odd reason, some folks insinuated some words that I said. Took it a totally different way. What happened on Monday was, on my radio show, I got a call from one of our great fans. They asked me what was our team doing. But the question, from the great Gene Deckerhoff, is ‘how is the team preparing for the extreme heat expected for Saturday’s game. It’s going to be another scorcher this coming Saturday.’
That was the question. This coming game against Louisiana-Monroe. This game.
“Willie Taggart, that would be me: ‘After going through last week, and seeing our guys going down, cramping and things, one thing we all talked about as a staff, our medical staff, is our guys got to hydrate. That it can’t be on Friday, that it can’t be on Thursday.’ Hold up [sips water]. ‘We need to start hydrating earlier in the week, taking care of their bodies. Can’t leave it up to our players just to do it. We’ve all got to force them to hydrate, take care of themselves. Again, I don’t know if we did a good job of that last week. It’s one of those situations where you live and learn, and we’re going to help our guys when it comes to that.’
“The great Gene Deckerhoff: Hydrate, drink a lot of liquid, Powerade, some water.’ He said Powerade, not Gatorade. [Sips water].
“Willie Taggart: ‘Yes, absolutely.’
Well, thank God that's all cleared up. Should we expect a win this Saturday, Willie?
Well, it's good to hear that hydration wasn't the problem.
Now, can we move on to...WHY IS OUR TEAM COTTONY SOFT!?

This is hilarious, guy is begging for the Nolies to give him a chance lol....he's way worse than the Swamp Donkey and Muschamp was better than this.
Not piling on but you guys hired a HBC that has a losing record and like 80 games in too. IMO it's just a bad hire...we've had a couple but Willie might be the worse out of all...Mac might be worse, I"m not sure, but they both suck big time. Willie is way in over his head.
It's amusing to look back and remember that a dozen schools were in the middle of or had already completed coaching searches without anybody even mentioning Willie Taggart, yet the Noles lasered in on him immediately and acted like getting him was the coup of the century. Super recruiter, turnaround expert, these were the things we were told. Heck, maybe these things will still turn out to be true, but to me it's not the on field performance that says it won't, but rather the off field demeanor. FSU just looks like a rudderless ship. Those are hard to direct where you want them to go.
Maybe the boosters promised Kendal the reigns once Willie seals his fate with a lost to ULM.
There's hope, right?
...I mean, I really like Willie as a person and his love for all things FSU (dude is literally living out a childhood dream), but I can't argue he seems to be in way over his head.
He has some good qualities but when you suck on the field that trumps everything else...in the first quarter they looked sloppy but made big plays. It fell apart after that. You can be a good coach/recruiter but to be the HBC is a different thing. Say what you want but FSU has been one of the best programs in football over the past 30 years...they look like us recently and worse.
It seems that way, but the season is going so wait and see, 1 game in. Might be better than people think but last year was such a disaster it's hard to ignore what the reality might be.
sadgator just watched this clip. Holy smokes is that dude putting it on. Taking drinks of water during the statement...what a side show...that was astonishing...totally Macish.
No offense to our Nole friends, but this just screams “snake oil salesman”...
