AAC Coach Comparisons Make it Tough for Taggart

[Blackice12]

Houston and SMU changed coaches in the off season. Houston hired Tom Herman, the former Ohio State Offensive Coordinator and QB coach. SMU hired, Chad Morris, the former Clemson Offensive Coordinator. Both coacheshave improved the performance of their teams without a full year of recruiting. Willie Taggart is in his 3rd year and  on his 3rd offensive coordinator and has yet to show an improvement.

Everyone knows that its until you graduate your third year of your recruits until you can expect any marked improvement the first seven years are just about catch phrases and rhetoric.

Take a look at the better or up and coming programs in the conference. With the exception of Rhule at Temple, all the coaches were accomplished cooordinators or HC (Tubberville and O'Leary) at P5 programs. They understand what it takes to prepare and what it takes to win in a high level position at a high level program. Taggart was a position coach for a couple of years. Does just being around a succrssful coach and being on the staff teach you and prepare you to be a high level producer? Not so sure.

So, you basically have a guy calling plays that only was a RB coach calling plays trying to match up against guys like Fuente or Chad Morris both considered among top play callers in the country when they got their HC jobs or a Tom Herman who was a coordinator on a championship.

I would like to see a RB coach match up against a proven coordinator from any P5 team.

I think he is in over his head.

We are just waiting for the day we magically learn to win, apparently we aren't supposed to actively do anything about it until that day

Uh did you miss the three years that he was head coach of Western Kentucky?

A perennial P5 powerhouse.

He is speaking of Taggart's P5 experience.

Seems like the formula of hiring a P5 coordinator is key to improving the on field performance

Lower level school. What experience does he have in understanding what it takes to run something at the highest level. That was my point.

SMU's coach took over a situation even worse than what Taggart took over here and they've had two top 5 teams sweating bullets this year and scoring with no problems. Amazing what a good coach can do for your team...

[FazaUSF]

Sounds like what Charlie Strong did at Louisville. And he had less to work with in his first year....
