Campbell, 39, has been a hot name around the coaching world for his performance at Iowa State. Campbell took over an Iowa State program that was 5-19 the two years prior to his arrival.
The Cyclones went 3-9 in Campbell’s first season but have gone 8-5 the last two seasons and sit at 5-3 this year. Campbell has proven that he can take over a Power Five program in turmoil and turn it into a winner.

One issue with Campbell is his buyout is quite large and FSU isn’t in the best position financially after buying out Taggart’s $17 million contract and the rest of his coaching staff.
Campbell also doesn’t have ties to the state of Florida and has never coached outside the Midwest.
Minnesota coach PJ Fleck

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Coaching Record: 50-35
Salary: $3.6 million
Buyout: $9.3 million
Fleck, 38, is the youngest coach on the hot board. He’s been a head coach for seven seasons at Western Michigan (2013-16) and Minnesota (2017-pres.).
He took over a Western Michigan program that was 4-8 the year before he took over. He went 1-11 his first season then went 8-5 the next two seasons. His last season the Broncos finished 13-1 with the only loss coming to Wisconsin in the Cotton Bowl.

P.J. Fleck through the years
He took over a Minnesota program and went 5-7 his first year and 7-6 in 2018. The Gophers are 8-0 and ranked 13th in the country in 2019.
Fleck hasn’t coached at the college level in the state of Florida but did spend the 2012 season as the wide receivers coach for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He has also recruited Georgia and Florida well with six of his 23 commitments for the 2020 class coming from those two states. He had five commits from those two states in the 2019 class.

Coaching record: 40-43
Salary: $4.75 million
Buyout: $23.7 million
Stoops’, 59, name has been thrown around a lot as a potential replacement for Taggart because of his ties to the FSU program. He was the defensive coordinator for the Seminoles from 2010-12.

Kentucky football coach Mark Stoops in pictures
He turned around a Kentucky program that was in dire straights before he arrived and has a 28-19 record over the last four years. The Wildcats went 10-3 in 2018, but are 4-4 this season while dealing with a number of injuries.
His buyout would likely be an issue for FSU for the same reason that Campbell’s buyout would be an issue. It’s a large amount of money for a program that will be paying Taggart a large sum.
His ties to the state of Florida are significant with stints at South Florida and Miami as a defensive backs coach early in his career on top of his time at FSU.

Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables

KEN RUINARD / STAFF
Coaching record: NA
Salary: $2.2 million
Buyout: $8.3 million
Venables, 48, is the only coordinator on the list, but he’s one of the most highly regarded defensive coordinators in the game.
Venables has coached the Clemson defense since 2012 and has turned the Tigers’ defense into one of the best defenses in college football.
He’s considered an ace recruiter for Clemson and has produced a number of NFL draft picks, including three first round defensive linemen in the 2019 NFL draft.
If FSU doesn’t elect to go with an established coach, Venables will likely be at the top of the list, though there is no guarantee that he would be interested in becoming a head coach. He’s the second-highest paid assistant coach in college football.
He has never coached in the state of Florida, but has recruited the state very well for the Tigers.

We should be talking with asante samuel jr
Yep really dumb analogy. It’s the State of Florida and Tally>Lincoln for Croots. Good weather , hot coeds everywhere, & FAMU next door for the HBC experience(one of the most underrated recruiting advantages that no one talks about)
He won’t want to sit out and go to G5 school. They should change rule though. If we aren’t included in P5 this playoff, let recruits transfer and not sit out.
I felt uncomfortable about Lebby with the Baylor past at first and his name was barely in the reports unlike Briles. so I’d give that a hell no
They just won a National championship in 2014

Stoops had multiple opportunities to coach at UF and turned them down.
No big name coach is going to come to the state Florida. Miami has tried, UF has tried. They all end up with Coordinators or up and comers (and in Miami's case a re-tread in Mark Richt).

Definitely a possibility. Only he knows if he’d take it or holding out for somewhere else.
"Dude needs to go on a tour teaching young coaches how to become rich without winning."
That is called Genshafted-101 course. Taught over there in Temple Terrace and perfected by Duh*Bulls.

The exact scene I was thinking of when I wrote that, well done.Willie:
.
In case a Google search helps them find a coach.. yes he’d turn them around immediately!!
From an AD perspective, I think CJH is too risky. UCF was great under Frost, and have continued, so you have to wonder how much is the players. Plus there's been times where he was clearly outcoached. Not saying he isn't good, but I don't think he's proven enough yet for other schools to take note.
Correct. Although absolutely nothing is a sure thing minus about 3-5 coaches. CJH is a risk that they can’t afford. They can’t have another miss
If you guys dump CJH on FSU, I will be pi$$ed.
I tried to warn my FSU brethren CJH only has 3 plays in the playbook. There is no way CJH would do any better than WT.
FSU needs to go get Urban Meyer.

I’ve counted 5-10 plays. Seem like 3, because he runs them so much
I doubt it. He only goes where he knows he can win right away. FSU is not that.
Jet sweep with Marlon, 6 yard sideline pass on 3rd and 10, red zone corner fade
Before FSU opened there was chatter of schools going after urban Meyer. Now that would be interesting considering how he left the Gators.
Yeah that is fake news. https://247sports.com/college/centr...oach-Josh-Heupels-contract-details-111797904/
$10 mil if he leaves before 2020 bowl game.
Urban in Tally would be The Best....gator nation would implode....
Nah, they'd have to hire Steve Spurrier to do that. But I'd pay good money to see it happen.
FSU's AD ended any chance at Urban Meyer with his comments like a week ago
He refuses to hire him bc he used to be a Gator
