FSU Football: Francois dismissal still right despite possibly accuser apology

Related Topics: Willie Taggart, Deondre Francois

For the past three days, the FSU football program has been in the national spotlight for all the wrong reasons after the disturbing audio was released that reportedly was of starting quarterback Deondre Francois making threats of physical violence toward a woman who he had a previous relationship with.

Since the release of that audio on Saturday night, the decision was made by head coach Willie Taggart to part ways with Francois after which he issued a statement about changing the character surrounding the program – and Francois on Monday entered his name into the transfer portal for next season.
