This is a crazy theory that I've strung together by reading different post here on the Bulls pen, so with that in mind hear me out.

He is and was in contact with both CCS and CWT. What if he could read the tea leaves around the league and helped get both men in a situations that worked well with both of their personal goals. 

He knew that jobs like Oregon don't open up ALL the time and with Taggart being a hot  commodity with his 10 win season setting offensive records in the state of Florida and so on, Dungy knew Taggart wanted to play on a bigger stage. 

Dungy also knew that Charlie was a great coach with ties to Florida who want given a fair shake at Texas. So I believe he connected the dots for all parties involved, including USF, who needed 10 wins just to get some respect nationally. 

Dungy was playing 3 dimensional chess... When his Big 12 plan fell through, he activated plan B. Taggart gets the recognition, stage, and money. Strong gets a loaded team with an early Heisman hopeful for a path to redemption. And USF gets the name recognition, boost in publicity,  and a great 3-4 years. 

Am I crazy or is this in the realm of possibilities???

Not a bad theory. But I don't think he actually cares about USF. He knows its a good job and the powers that be respect his opinion. That's where his care of USF ends.

Nope not Dungy the real conspiracy is this was all started by Texas. They stopped expansion in order to ensure they got their guy in Herman and on top of that they knew CWT being relegated to second tier for the foreseeable future would jump ship after he interviewed at USCe last year. By ensuring Taggart jumped ship they knew that with Strongs FL ties and a wife from Lakeland that he would take the USF job this getting their guy and lessening their pay out to Strong the next two years. 

 

 

Texas is the real culprit behind this!

We are all pawns on the Dungy scales of justice.

Wasn't he involved in interviews (the CWT round) and on our B12 presentation? Even if it's only his face on USF literature, it says he supports the school.
