If Deondre Francois had hopes and dreams of one day making it to the NFL, those dreams were burned to the ground on Sunday after Florida State Football and head coach Willie Taggart parted ways with the quarterback, mere weeks after he stated he was returning to the Seminoles for the 2019 season after considering a transfer.
Francois’ dismissal is reportedly tied to a domestic incident involving his girlfriend that was captured on a cell phone camera that she posted to Instagram this week that reportedly captures Francois arguing with his girlfriend, possibly hitting her in the face and threatening to hit her even more.
Another alleged domestic violence incident involving Francois was closed in January 2018 due to a lack of witnesses.
Francois was the full-time starter for FSU in 2016 and 2017 before he would suffer a season-ending knee injury. He went 5-6 as a starter in his first year starting for Taggart, passing for 2,731 yards and 15 touchdowns to 12 interceptions while completing 96 of 227 passes (57.3 percent).
