If this was a player attitude issue, why wouldn't he still be using his system? Wouldn't the majority of the team better know his system from his first year vs totally changing it year 3? I don't hate CWT, but I think he's in over his head and a better coach would have had USF bowling last year. And yeah, I think CWT could admit that he's floundered to find an effective scheme on both sides of the ball. He doesn't have to use those terms, but looking back his tenure at USF to me seems less like coaching and more like on the job training. You're making up an argument he's never made. No where, let me repeat that slowly...NO WHERE in that article did he state that the past 2 years were disasters because of a team chemistry issues. I know this may be hard for some of you to grasp, but in a team sport, its an accumulation of issues that typically lead to a loss or a bad season overall. Team chemistry (for anyone who watches and follows this team knows) played a part (again, a part, not the whole reason, not the only reason, but a part) in our struggles. A lack of DI QB played a part (player and coaching issue). Some poor play calling on offense and defense played a part (coaching issue). Poor execution played a part (player issue). Lack of talent played a part (previous coach issue). Its not a black and white scenario, and Taggart at no time has made a black and white argument like this. Nowhere? "I see a team that's starting to care about each other like the way that team at Western does. That's a big part of it." Hmmm... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhere did he say it was because of anything he's done. It would have been refreshing to hear him say that perhaps he should have done offensively year one what he's going to do this year.

So he's stating that seeing his team jell and come together is a part of the reason why he's excited for this year. Where in that does he place sole blame on his first two seasons on a lack of team chemistry. Again, you guys are so desperate to hate on anything Taggart related that you are making up arguments.

Rocky Style Posted August 3, 2015 Group: Member Topic Count: 109 Content Count: 21,142 Reputation: 4,644 Days Won: 39 Joined: 09/14/2007 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I read the article and I am not detecting any blame shifting at all. Head coaches are going to notice and call out things like this because they have to set the tone and be leaders. He has been pretty consistent about what he wants to see from the players in that regard so why stop now? It's not a bad thing to ask for. And yes the bad offense and playcalling (and bend-but-lose defense) also had a big part of it. Supposedly they are addressing that this year, but we'll have to wait and see. I don't think he is totally putting the blame on one thing or the other but it would be obvious to anyone stat-wise what needed to improve this year. By openly changing the offensive and defensive systems, they are essentially saying that the last ones didn't work. It kind of goes without saying to me. If they shake it up and it works, everyone will buy in and we'll have a great recruiter and philosophy locked in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
