I happen to agree with Harlan, but is anyone concerned about potential discord in the organization?

 

I hope not...Bulls Unite is a great theme.

Willie did what is right, he told his players they have no business down there.  I stand with Taggart 100%.   Once again the USF program, as little as it is, feels the pull from a donor it relies on

Getting blown out of proportion...  which deflects from the moment of grief.    What Taggart said was fine...    and after the dust settled a bit, what Harlan said was also fine.    I support CWT 100%

USF Athletics Statement Regarding Ybor City

 

From USF Director of Athletics Mark Harlan

 

“I would like to make clear USF Athletics high regard for Ybor City and its cherished and historical place in our Bay Area community and culture. Earlier today, our football coach spoke out of emotion and in reaction to the tragic loss of Elkino Watson, a member of our football program from 2011-2014. USF Athletics will continue to focus on reinforcing its policy of student-athletes making smart decisions where ever they may be, looking out for one another, and walking away from any situation that appears threatening. They will not be banned from visiting any areas of our beautiful city.”

 

 

 

Must have felt some pressure.  Should not have caved on CWT's statement.

 

They need to clean Ybor up.  CWT should still tell his players not to go there. 

 

It's stupid that with a former player dead, Harlan feels he has to do this.

 

PC and deep pockets sometimes go hand in hand.

He's not reacting on CWT's behalf, he's acting on the behalf of others with an interest, and USF's interest.  He's trying to smooth over the discontent that truth brought to city and business leaders.  Sort of not good in my opinion.  It's too soon to worry about political correctness and who's offended by Taggart's comments in an area of town where a former player was just murdered.

The Columbia restaurant is in Ybor City and the Gonzamart family are big donors and supporters of USF athletics hence the retraction.

It's okay during the day... go have lunch, pizza, a gyro, see a movie, visit a coffee shop.

But don't be that past 11 pm...

Taggart is done and he knows it

Taggart changed his offense just to stay this year. His offense was all he wanted to talk about when he was hired.

Harlan never endorses taggart because taggart is done. It is possible that the two hardly talk at this point.

Does anyone really think taggart wanted tomey as a consultant. . . . Tomey is Harlan's football guy.

I assume tomey is a paid consultant while kinnan is free.
