A true fan is objective and able to look at the big picture. The Florida State faithful certainly seem by and large unable to be objective about their opponents and specifically Miami. I imagine it is the same with the Florida Gators.
The Miami Hurricanes finished 2017 third in the nation in forcing turnovers and they currently rank sixth in the nation this season after getting off to a slow start. Miami had only six in the first three games. Four of those came against FCS Savannah State.
Willie Taggart encouraged his fanbase’s sour grapes attitude by submitting the play to the ACC to determine if they play was legal or not. Even the Tallahassee Democrat jumped on the bandwagon of poor sportsmanship.
"“That allowed Miami to rally, thanks to a few assists from the Hurricanes’ turnover chain and an officiating call that cost FSU a touchdown”"
The publisher of the Tallahassee Democrat trolled Canes Warning this summer on Twitter about the Hurricanes attendance. Miami’s victory was about more than one play. Willie Taggart was supposed to provide Florida State with an offensive guru and a more modern offensive game plan. His game management was called into question.
Watching Willie and Florida State flop and flounder will eventually go out of style.

But not yet.
Not a strategist. Said it all along. Taggart needs to hire superior game managers and coaches who can adjust. If he doesn’t... he won’t win.
ESPN’s Myron Medcalf questioned whether or not Taggart can overcome the poor start he’s had at Florida State. The Seminoles fanbase and apparently media cannot look past the loss to the Miami Hurricanes and into the bigger picture of where their program is at.
I know why Willie Taggart left Oregon. And every coach in his position would have said yes. I think he can win in Tallahassee. But I'm confident he'll never get the chance to prove it. This is an ugly start that might follow him as long as he's there. However long that might be.
