Willie Taggart will earn $30 million over six years as Florida State's coach, according to contract details reported Thursday.
The Tallahassee Democrat reported Florida State will cover the money owed by Taggart to Oregon -- the $3 million his UO contract stipulated, in addition to what remained on his South Florida buyout that Oregon paid for a year ago: $1,370,122.28.
Taggart's contract runs through Jan. 31, 2024. Should he be fired, he will be paid 85 percent of his contract.
Taggart left Oregon after one season, during which the Ducks finished 7-5 and qualified for the Dec.
