Taking a break from the Taggart talk to come allll thee wayyy to the laaasst post on the second page to see what's going on in the Morris thread.

His name is also coming up here and there.

Clemson this yr:

13th in passing yards

32nd in rushing yards

6th in points.

Don't have 2011 rankings but in 2011 Clemson had 3952 total passing yards, 33 passing TD and 12 INT. 21 rushing TD, 2219 rush yds

Over the past 2 years the Clemson Offense has averaged 4.5 TD per game

If you count his 2010 season as OC of Tulsa, the offenses he has been running for the last 3 seasons have averaged 4.64 TD per game. That's 32 points not counting field goals. If we would have scored 32 pts each game this yr, with a ******* awful defense, we would have been 9-3 and beat FSU.

Taggart is NOT the only out there who can really work wonders on our program.

see this is why i'm saying it doesn't look like he's coming here. but maybe the whole Cristobal thing will show him that he needs to leave cuz crazy things can happen

Just because he said he didn't like people wearing UK gear around WKU? lol

I think that person was referring to the conflicting reports, though maybe I'm wrong

I'm just gonna leave this rriiigghhtt here:

"Insulting your own students isn’t the best way to build support for the team."

for the record, I love the sentiment, but think the word choice was poor

The Taggart press conf is about the bowl game.

Source?

Greg Auman â€@gregauman

Taggart is due back on campus for first bowl practice at 5 pm ET today, then he and team recognized at halftime of basketball game tonight

Sorry, got it mixed up with the bowl "practice" but they could be the same thing. That tweet was 6 hrs ago

I thought were going to tell us to get back to work

This will not occur until well after this is over.

The Taggart press conf is about the bowl game.

team meeting is prob because one way or another, taggart is getting hired by someone other than WKU next season.

Greg Aumanâ€@gregauman

WKU AD Todd Stewart said he has understanding with Willie Taggart that coach would tell him if any interviews took place ... and he hasn't.

Only and last theory is that Willis hasn't told him yet... Willie is supposed to be back on campus at 5 today for bowl practice. Could be waiting to tell him in person? If not, whatever. On to Morris/Quinn/Coley

I think it's wise not to get too attached to Taggart. There is a very real possibility that he opts for Wisc, or our AD opts NOT to go with the lower-level-success-story this time and go for a hot coordinator. Just saying.

Trying not to get my hopes up thinking about the new path this program could be on with Taggart on the sidelines and a subsequent recommit from AW

I am more worried about the Wisc job being open than the Auburn job.

UCF-er trying to be funny.

I will gladly eat my words, but it's grade A trolling. Well done.

Just saw taggart he hasn't talked to USF

Wonder why..... wtf

Doug stated they were going after a big name candidate to turn the program around... Taggart is not a big name.

USF will likely work its way down to Taggart

when did he state that?

Charlie Strong went on a mini-rant about fan support.

Guys, lets give coaches a reason to want to be here. Fan support, attendance, sticking it out through the tough times..... you may think it doesn't matter but IT DOES.

Jesus. Let me talk you off the ledge.

Booger went to LSU, and tends to look down on everything else, even other SEC programs.

Reports of the USF job being so down-in-the-dumps are greatly exaggerated. We have confirmed interest from some hot coordinators and coaches. The media is consistently reporting that they are impressed by the pool lining up to interview.

We aren't on top of the world but we are nowhere near the bottom, as some may believe from behind the mic.

Isn't the point of firing one coach to hire another to get the best candidate available to take over?

The best candidate for what? To accomplish what?

Do we really need a risky assistant who could be a knock out, but also could be a flop and exacerbate the woes?

-or-

Are we better served settling for someone who can get us competitive again, so we can regroup?

Here's his wiki page.

Interesting note: In 2006, when he won the conference div title, Gus Malzahn was his OC AND McFadden was a Heisman runner-up

Take that away, in the preceding years he was 4-4 in conference, 3-5, 2-6. In the year after he was 4-4 again.

Good analysis.

Take that away? Why? You could do that to any coach ever....take away what they did good and man they suck! You can play the otherside too:

Because it is important to hire a good coach, not someone fortunate to be the beneficiary of good circumstances. It may be true that Nutt was both. It may not.

Did anyone here watch Moneyball?

Seriously, if we pick a coach because of feelings, what are we doing?

We need wins.

Lane Kiffin. lol.

Seriously though, anyone with baggage. Petrino, Davis, etc

I don't think we need a home-run hire necessarily.

I think we need a double, or a triple. This is a program at the bottom of a shaky conference that is on a quest to get back up. We need different things than we needed back in 2010.

The next step right now is not NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP, but rather, a CINCY-TYPE level of success that has us competing for a league championship, landing in a bowl game with a BCS-league opponent, and edging the top 25.

Some of these names like Houston Nutt are not home runs. But, I believe he can, in the next 3-4 years, get us over .500, going to bowl games, etc.

I don't think we need a high-risk, high-reward coach. We need someone just to pick us up. When we are standing, then we swing for the home run.

Article alert!
