Oregon head coach Willie Taggart may be getting a new deal with the Ducks, thanks to his name being linked as a potential candidate to replace Jimbo Fisher at Florida State, if Fisher leaves. According to Andy Staples of Sports Illustrated, Oregon has offered Taggart a new five-year deal:

If Taggart accepts, the new deal would pay a little more than $20 million over five years. But Taggart has reason to wait. If Jimbo Fisher leaves Florida State for Texas A&M, Taggart could be a candidate for the Seminoles’ job.

Fisher leaving is a big if, but as Tomahawk Nation reported Wednesday, FSU has been engaged in preliminary vetting of Taggart and Virginia Tech’s Justin Fuente, in case Fisher does leave.
