TALLAHASSEE — Florida State University President John Thrasher is calling a fan's social media post depicting football coach Willie Taggart getting lynched "ignorant and despicable."

FSU ended a disappointing first season under Taggart with a 41-14 loss Saturday to in-state rival Florida. Many fans took to social media, expressing their disappointment.

But one Facebook post included a meme depicting Taggart, who is black, being lynched, along with the words: "Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing your rep."

In a statement issued Sunday, Thrasher indicated the post is being investigated by the state attorney. Thrasher also said "Coach Taggart has our full support" and is a "respected member of the FSU family."

FSU ended its season with a 5-7 record and the loss snapped the Seminoles' streak of consecutive bowl appearances at 36. FSU also will finish with a sub-.500 record for the first time since 1976, Bobby Bowden's first season as head coach.

Both were the longest active streaks in the nation.

The Facebook post has been taken down.
