Oracle calling out Taggart

[USFbulls24]

No coach is going to come out and say "Yeah, I'm driving this program into the ground, the only reason we're not winning is because I'm a horrible play caller". There's been a lot of times he's said the players aren't doing this, they aren't doing that, but to be fair he takes blame too. Not saying he always does, but he puts it out there. After the McNeese game he said I apologize to the fans for the performance and it was on him. After Memphis this year he said he didn't do enough to help the team out in the 2nd half. 

He somehow truly believes in what he's doing and I guess you have to respect him for that even though it just seems foolish by now to outsiders. At this point, I almost wonder if his staff is so far up his butt that they refuse to say something to him about change whether it be who calls the plays, throwing more, etc. or if they do say something maybe he just completely dismisses them? I can't imagine that these coaches don't speak up a little bit going on 3 years now of totally inept offensive play with Taggart running that show. It's not just Taggart's job on the line it's theirs too.  

Anything short of I'm not doing a good enough job, I will not sleep until I have it fixed, and I will hand over play calling duties will cause a stir. Forget about what he's saying. We have enough gripe with his actual coaching to give Bulls fans everywhere a heart attack.

Didn't read the article but felt the need to call out someone's opinion. Cool!

Excuse me. My earlier comments were aimed at someone's opinion of a part of the article that he cut and pasted .... which I did read.

Dude, are you going to freaking over analyze every word that comes out of the man's mouth?  He was just saying that he trusts the team.

If it was just this one quote, I would agree with you.  But you must agree that over the period of three years all he talks about is how we will win when the players figure out what to do, and very little about the coaches figuring out how to help the players improve.  This past Saturday, finally after nearly three years, he admitted that he probably should have done something different.  That lasted about 24 hours, and he went back to the fact that his players aren't doing their job.

 

Do you not see the larger pattern?

[Who'sYourData?]

Didn't actually read the article at first but it's funny how the "they" whiners didn't comment on this:

“We know where we’re at,” Taggart said. “We know we put ourselves here, and we know no one else is going to get us out of this, and no one else is going to feel sorry for us. 

“It’s on us.”

I'm sure they were looking for this instead:

“I know where I'm at,” Taggart said. “I know I put myself here, and I know no one else is going to get me out of this, and no one else is going to feel sorry for me. 

“It’s on me.”

 

That is what a good leader does.  In business, pee wee football, pro football or college football.

It is his JOB to take the heat off his players and assistant coaches, and he isn't doing it.

Right, there's absolutely ZERO heat on Taggart right now ....

he did say there isn't any more urgency  than any other game week

Didn't say he had to acknowledge the heat that was on him, did I ...

I'd be okay if Taggart stopped talking to the media until he won a few games.

Everything that can be said has been said

I'm guessing that CWT is in 100% agreement with you ...
