My pick would be Larry Scott...
Don't forget that when Golden was fired, Scott became interim coach and went something like 5-1 or 4-1....
If I was Miami, I would have let him coach a full year to see how it would go, but they opted to go another route.
Larry Scott was also a great recruiter for USF.
He's the guy I'd want to lead USF if Taggart was to leave....
