It's natural that CWT is getting some love from the P5, he's made a great turnaround for us. But his stock is still pretty young and unless they got him at a significant discount, the smart money is on either an internal candidate or the more established name brands for that position. Another year or two of this level of performance and I see him bailing for the quicker path to wealth & retirement. I sincerely hope I'm wrong though.

CWT's name is hot right now so it makes sense for him to be connected to the job. Also, there's a law in Oregon that all university coaching jobs must interview atleast one minority candidate. Just another thing to consider

I have it on good authority that CWT will take the Oregon job, or he won't.

Nostradamus up in here?

My fear is that he has been running a wide open offense here, and I know that when Oregon was successful they were running something similar. 

Their big money comes from someone who liked to watch speed and earned his billions because of fast athletes. Willie makes since as a coach for Nike's corporate college program. I hope his ties here are strong.

I think the smart play is to stay and bet on himself to do greater things like win a bowl game or conference championship.

He would be crazy not to take the Oregon job if offered. Top tier facilities, PAC 12, Phil Knight.

I hope he doesn't get offered.

I hate 2 use the race card, but Taggart is not leaving. #1 reason is that Black football coaches rarely get 2nd chances to be a head coach once they get fired. Tyron Wllingham was the last one and he or Randy Shannon has not even come close to a head coaching job since. The Ron Zooks, Butch Davis, Charlie Weis and Muschamp all got 2nd coaching jobs immediately.  Hell Charlie Strong has had great success and hasnt even been mentioned 4 any openings. Taggart knows that if it doesnt work out at a p5 school thats it 4 him. USF offers him job security, great recruits, and in 2018-2020 a strength of schedule strong enough to crash the playoffs. He might as well build his legacy at USF like Spurrier of Bowden and have the new stadium named after him after we win back to back titles lol

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
