Caslen: USC AD asked FSU about how it managed its buyout

[TheYancey]

FLORENCE – University of South Carolina President Robert Caslen said Monday he has not asked Florida State how it came up with money to fire football coach Willie Taggart earlier this month and pay him a buyout worth a little more than $18 million.
“No, but our athletic director (Ray Tanner) has,” Caslen said during an interview session at the Morning News. “And they’ve got a whole lot more money in their athletic endowment than we do. I know that, for a fact.

Caslen now apparently rolling it back:

"@MattatTheState

South Carolina just released a statement from President Caslen: "Let me set the record straight: Athletics Director Ray Tanner did not speak with anyone at Florida State University about coaching contracts."

Matt Connolly is an orange turd hawk.  He is the State rag's Clemmy writer so no telling if any of this is true.

 

[Mr Ed]

This is just a debacle.

With no actual news to report here's some social media chatter.

Take it for what it's worth, nothing more than speculation.

FSU chatter that the donors whant Briles. Included in that is Muschamp as DC. Not sure if that is coming from the money guys or Briles saying "show me who you've got for DC options and we'll talk."

If this is true Tanner could have been talking to FSU to see what they would be willing to contribute towards the Muschamp buyout.

Reminder: This is all just social media chatter and something to discuss in lieu of any real news.

Now that's a helluva plot twist.
