Unlike in your story, Taggart hasn't gotten much in terms of results. He is also asking some, perhaps many, to play in positions in a style they were not recruited for. That would piss me off no doubt. That kind of thing happens in life all the time. It is no fun and it is sure to create resentments.

This could have been written about Leavitt. In fact is was many years ago. It was before the 2007 season if I recall. The quote at the time was "everyone hated him". My response to both - "tough s***". As a fan base that should be our response too. These are spoiled individuals if they think they have the luxury to dislike their coach.

See, I just can't help myself. I read stuff like this and it makes me nuts. So the offense is all Holtz's fault but the defense that has played well is all Bresnahan and Taggart? No credit to Holtz for the defense but all blame for the offense. Good point. I'm with you. I think Bresnahan does deserve credit though he's done a great job. Look at the turnovers, yards given up, points given up, etc with a bunch of freshman playing quite a bit. I do think a lot of blame goes on Holtz for the lack of playmakers on offense but good grief Taggart has made very little if any at all, improvements with the offense throughout the year and that's his MO so he gets a lot of the blame for me too. The scheme makes me absolutely cringe and makes it tough to watch. I don't think the defense is playing in a completely new system. I see your point Cousin just think it is apples and oranges. I would contend we might have had a few more wins this year if we ran the spread because it fit our players more. That being said, this is a year to learn the new system and I/we are hoping for a pay off once it clicks with these guys.

Sadly, that's the most logical explanation for going for a field goal there. Just because our players can't get out of their own **** way. I disagree with you, but unfortunately we've seen it too much. Still, not a coaching mistake when guys can't do simple things right. Taking a snap is not something that needs to be coached, it's something the quarterback needs to be able to do. Who snuck Matt Floyd into the lineup? Yea, bad call because our guys can't execute. That is too funny. We should start punting on first down with that logic.

come of it wasn't bj out for uconn?

I would like to add Coach Will Taggart at WKU during his 1st season. That team went 2-10. I know they were 0-12 the year before but he still went 2-10. His next year I believe he went 7-5 which I would be ecstatic if he did that here at USF next season. The good news is that CWT has been through a bad 1st year as head coach so he is pretty much going to be calm about it and stick to what he wants to do. Now if this was his 1st ever head coaching gig I would be more concerned about him being able to rebound. I believe he will put this behind us and start winning more next season. That is what I want to believe.. Last year we beat Chattanooga, Nevada and UCONN. Without BJ we would have probably just beaten the Mocs. I am just wondering if it was all that much better that what Willie had to start with at WKU.

This is how I see it. I am not ready to criticize the man until the end of his second season. This offense is intended to impose its will on the other team and wear them out. It takes the right players and lots of practice to implement. I think we will see improvements as the players "get it" and we start getting some of the horses we need.

I want to agree with this......I really, REALLY do............but, as JTrue said way back on page 1: "Nothing good has ever come from reading a teenager's twitter." 19 Seniors and a BUNCH of transfers after this season make this year's recruiting class THE most important of Coach Taggart's entire coaching career. I have confidence that he'll find smarter, more mature(this is key) players than the previous regime(s) could get in here. We have something like 5 DB's committed that had me scratching my head. I guess it makes sense now.

Is shaking someone's hand not part of CWT's new system? Looks like his feelings got hurt and he complained to him mom over twitter. Not passing judgement on that just summing up what we are upset about now.

It would be an empty forum if they did that. It doesn't mean that threads like these should go unchallenged. People might starting thinking they have merit. If you feel that your comments are being challenged often by people on this forum then perhaps it should give you pause - unless you are just trolling. You hit the nail on the head in your last couple of posts. Really need to add, though, that if you've been here long enough, you should know by now the characteristics of a lot of the regulars. There are some who post controversial **** on a regular basis just to tweak ... which is fine because that is a part of message boards ... and you have to learn not to bite, at least not in a serious way. I will admit that Duckhead is very good at it this and you need to take it for what it is .... Thanks for the insight. I know the type. I have not gotten angry at something someone wrote on a message board in 10 years or more and I assure you Turducken does not have it in him. But in the spirit of your advice I will step away from this thread as it has run its course.

Lighten up Francis.. I just made a thread because all the Gator fans were screaming to fire Muschamp. You're such a crybaby. Hem, let me ask you another "hypothetical".... Even Trade: CWT or Nick Saban? Would you take that? If you say yes, then you have no right to complain about the OP. One scenario you are asking if we should swap with a coach that is about to lose his job due to incompetence and in another you are asking if we swap for one of the best college football coaches in recent years. Both scenarios imply our coach is equivalent to the person on the other side of the trade. You know perfectly well that the OP was a slight against Taggart. Nope, your using a personal opinion scale to judge where it becomes acceptable. What about Chris Peterson? Acceptable thread? Gene Chizik? David Shaw? You are just looking to be argumentative and disingenuous - it speaks to your credibility.

Have you read the thread title? The idiotic question was raised and we are just discussing Muschamp's qualifications based on his team's most recent outing after three years under his tutelage. I believe we are now addressing when we think Muschamp will be available so Doug can interview him since so many on this board feel he compares favorably to Taggart.

I can't stop watching and laughing. What the heck was going on there? Has anyone heard an explanation for it? I think they'd rather pretend it didn't happen ... Is that video trending viral yet? Honestly, I would be surprised if Muschamp made it to the end of the week. It is bad enough that they lost to a AA but that video is making them a laughing stock.

The message board version of two players on the same team blocking each other is posting the same video as someone else in the same thread. Ha!!! I didn't look at the other video. It looked like it was about Georgia Southern from the thumbnail. You got me.

Here is a video of the UF players blocking each other. I am not sure how this was even possible and I have never seen anything like it.

You just lost any shred of credibility you may have had by saying this. Teams like Florida don't try to be "competitive" with teams like GSU ... They look to overwhelm teams like GSU. As stated elsewhere before, Florida's 3rd string should have shut down that team. GSU didn't complete 3 passes the whole day!!!! LOL ... Florida competitive with GSU .... Hahahahha +10000000 I woke in the middle of the night with a horrible thought: "Maybe those guys on the Bullspen who think Taggart was a mistake or doesn't know what he is doing are right?" Have you ever found yourself awake in the middle of the night worried about some horrible thought and had trouble getting it out of your mind? I was so desperate for sleep I wandered into the living room, fired up the laptop to check out what people were talking about. When I got to this thread and read its premise and some of the thoughts of its proponents I went back to bed and slept like a baby.

We are in the first year of a new coach.

This thread took a strange turn.

Wow. They always played us tough. We never beat them if I recall.
