Add Auburn to that list... fully expect that position to be open in November or December.

I don't think CWT's record at USF is quite where it needs to be for him to start entertaining job offers at places that would be a major step up.  I think he needs at least one more year here like thi

If he does leave, though I feel he doesn't have the resume to make a big leap quite yet, the coach at LA Tech is tearing up CUSA for the last few seasons. He might be ready to make the jump to a stron

CWT is not leaving the Bay Area.

He worked very hard to get here and as long as we continue to win and progress as a football program, I don't see him leaving.

I do see other coaches coming on as assistants as their stepping stones but I think CWT is here for the long run.

Some college programs are desperate and Willie T has rebuilt two programs from the ground.  I think if we kept Joe Kinnan we could be okay.   Still need a coach with Florida ties to recruit. Shoot Charle Strong may need a job. If Willie leaves come on in Charlie.

I wish we could have gotten Strong before Louisville did.  We would have had the chance and I'm guessing he probably would have rather gone to Tampa than to Louisville.  We could have had Teddy B also.  We just fired Leavitt a bit too late.

Well, let's see...how many other coaches have left USF football for a higher rung on the collegiate coaching ladder?

OK, well, that's a bad example but...ummm...let's not go there.

Will he eventually move on? Sure. Anytime soon? Not probably. The reason I say that is he's had two good years at USF - and turn things around. However, I think the top-tier openings would likely be filled by someone else until CWTs resume is fleshed out with some more accomplishments (e.g. conference hardware, bowl wins, etc.).

I like Taggart but his coaching experience in the P5 is a running backs coach. He needs to do more than just turn around a C-USA and an AAC team before the bigger schools will consider him. Texas boosters flipped out over Charlie Strong who was DC of two SEC schools and head coach of Louisville not to mention experience at Notre Dame.

This is the best-case scenario if CWT leaves. Strong would do very well here. I agree, Taggart is going to have supporters who look beyond his record and at the job he actually did with the last 2 programs.

I don't agree with that at all. Auburn has found its Mojo again. Expect them to compete for a title next season. Just the way that program goes for some reason. Up an down consistently.

I didn't have him as a serious candidate for LSU, Texas, ND. I agree, he doesn't have the "sparkle" that those fan bases are looking for. But, some of the mid-tier options... Kentucky, South Carolina, Texas Tech, Kansas? All have way more money than us and a clear path to a national championship to entice him. He's already been mentioned for South Carolina after last season. He's running a top-10 offense is college football nation leading streaks in games over 35 points and 200+ rushing yards. I don't think that those mid-tier schools would scoff at the idea of bringing him in to try and build a team to compete in their conferences. Kentucky and SC are bad, but, the SEC east isn't the west, it doesn't take Urban Meyer to come in and compete on that side of the conference.

Kentucky is the wildcard. Maybe Kansas, but anyone who takes that job deserves whatever happens to them.
