    Regarding Taggart... I think the issue with comparing him to Leavitt is that Taggart never won without Flowers. Flowers was the best QB we have ever had in my opinion. I loved Grothe and he did some crazy things for us, but I have never seen anyone more clutch and able to put the team on their back than Q. If Tags had stayed and kept winning, he would get more credit. As it stands, he pretty much failed as he moved up. He also was not a great x's and o's coach in my opinion. He was a fantastic recruiter and in our conference, that would take him a long way. I respect what he did here and wouldn't be pissed if he was hired back, but it also wouldn't be a home run. Some people would like it, others wouldn't, would he be able to recreate what he did here?

    Leavitt on the other hand won with Pat Julmiste at QB. He adapted his teams to the talent he had, with a ridiculously low bag of cash for decent assistant coaches. When we had Andre Hall, we were a run-first team. Blackwell, Grothe, and BJD got different offenses. Through all of that, his defenses were always near the top-30. You never saw people running away from our guys. I remember laughing at WVU because they said we couldn't keep up with their "speed". Laughing at UCF when OLeary tried to kill that RB by giving him 47 carries per game and they thought he would run all over us (that was the 62-12 year). His defenses didn't get embarrassed.

    This.  Taggart didn't win until he let Flowers and Mack loose. 

    I think we hear he’s gone

    Michael Kelly will not say a word until after the season.  He has publicly said that he would never discuss the performance of a coach during the season and he constantly preaches about stability and patience.  In regards to Scott, he will be on radio silence until after UCF.

    Yes.  Unless he has a complete change of heart, this will be case.

    Something is happening Wednesday!

    This is what USF does wrong. When they fired Leavitt they opted to go in a different direction and hire Skip Holtz. When Taggart left they opted to not keep his systems in place. When will they learn?

    Taggart had terrible defenses after Allen left.  Remember when they gave up about 50 points to Navy in one half? He had nothing left to lose when he let Q and Mack loose.

    And he still couldn't beat C. To get a trip to the conference championship.

    Changing directions in certain areas is sometimes needed.
