Gotta hand it to Florida State president John Thrasher ... who sent out a letter to FSU boosters asking for more cash to help fund the search for a new football coach!
Remember, FSU fired Willie Taggart earlier this season (with 4 years remaining on his deal) after signing him to a $30 MILLION contract ... and they're still on the hook for roughly $18 mil.
So, with pressure mounting for FSU bring in a new top tier head coach, Thrasher is reaching out to his deep-pocketed supporters in hopes they'll come through with some extra cheddar to "bring elite level football back to Florida State.
