TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Duke and Florida State went winless in November. The Blue Devils (2-8, 1-8 Atlantic Coast Conference) suffered double-digit losses to North Carolina and Georgia Tech in November. “That’s probably been one of the toughest things of the past month,” Florida State coach Mike Norvell said.

TALLAHASSEE, Florida (CNN) - Florida State University fired head football coach Willie Taggart on Sunday, one day after the struggling Seminoles lost 27-10 to its in-state rival, the University of Miami. "I spoke to Coach Taggart this afternoon to let him know of our decision," said Florida State athletics director David Coburn. He was head coach there from 2010-2012 after serving as an assistant from 1999-2006. Florida State had only two full-time coaches from 1976 to 2017 -- Fisher from 2010 to 2019, and legendary coach Bobby Bowden, who served 37 years as head coach. Defensive line coach Odell Haggins, a 26-year veteran of the FSU coaching staff, will serve as the interim head coach for the rest of 2019.

Ron DeSantis this spring were unable to seal a deal between the Seminoles and the state aimed at resolving a protracted legal battle over controversial designated player card games operated by many Florida pari-mutuels. If were not getting revenue, theres no reason to provide exclusivity (to operate banked card games). Those decisions previously had largely been in the hands of legislators.The constitutional amendment requires a vote by citizens initiative for casino gambling to be authorized in Florida. Casino gambling is defined as any of the type of games typically found in casinos and that are defined as Class III gaming under federal law. If you cannot do that, then I think what the president is saying, find another way to get those resources.
