About the sensitivity around the recruits and potential new hire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taggart doesn't just all of a sudden hand them an offer and convince them to play on the other coast; after he convinced them to stay nearby at usf. Most of the guys just want answers. Judson won a huge game last night, I'm sure he was congratulating him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help a friend? Coach a group of kindergartners or high school kids? How about tell a neighbor you'll help him with his garage door? Do you help people at work? Do you lead a team?

I respect Willie for wanting to compete at the highest level and see what he can do. The goal of being the first black coach to win a National Title is a great aspiration. But, winning an AAC title first would have been a good first step. 2. There is a fine line with business and ethical decisions. Going after Charlie Strong is a **** move. Period. Burning bridges is bad business. Karma is a ***** and the business Gods have a way of handling these things. 3. I think he is over his head at Oregon and will fail. He's not ready for that job. A good business man knows his limitations. He is chasing the money and I believe he will bomb at Oregon. He signed a 5 year deal here and didn't even finish the first year. He accomplished nothing. If he was as confident as he represents himself to be, he'd have stayed here and finished the job he started. Win a conference championship before you think you are ready for a National Championship. 4. My emotions have run the gamut. I was REALLY bummed when I heard the news that he was leaving. Then I wanted to wish him well and be grateful for getting us back on the map and stocking the cupboards with some great talent. Now...I'm getting a bit angry realizing he was a lot of smoke and no fire. Zero loyalty to USF. 5. Next man up. Bring on Charlie Strong! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be honest, we expect any new coach we bring in to bring in recruits he had been after in his previous job. Taggart is doing the job he was hired to do. I have no problem with that. Having read some of the comments by Taggart and USF efforts to retain him, I believe Taggart going to Oregon was more about competing at the highest level than the cash. I respect him for that. I also am starting to believe he really was not sold on the longer term prospects for USF. At least since the B12 deal fell through. This. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it out of character for most coaching departures? Absolutely. Surprised or upset? Of course not. We championed a coach that defied conventional sportsmanship. We think now that he has moved on that behavior should change? Wish him the best - doubtful we would want anyone who would follow him to attend our school anyway.
