All kidding aside about Willie.  One of his best talents is building a culture and psychologically connecting with his team and recruits.  Recruiting is a huge part of college football no doubt and Xs and Os are important, but being able to motivate 18-22 year old kids to play with emotion and 100% effort is talent.

Look at FSU this year.  All the talent in the world and Fisher lost his team.  Last year he made the players sign a document saying they would give 100% effort.  Wtf?!?  

Look at our own xCJL...he was a master motivator and routinely had the Bulls ready to take on the world.  His motivational talents and ability to get more out of his players was a big reason we had so much early success.  Like all coaches he had a few klunkers along the way.  I believe he even had a degree in psychology.  

I've heard people talk about Saban and they say what separates him from other coaches is his ability to keep his players focused and giving maximal effort each and every game.  That is a talent and that is what people see in Taggart.

Time will tell how Willie does on the big stage but I'm pulling for him.

 I dont completely agree. There is a  reason good coaches win games. Its because they outsmart their opponent. Yes talent does play a part but exploiting strengths and weaknesses is the brilliance of the coach.  70% Jimmys and Joes 30% X and Os and that 30% makes the difference in being a champion or not. Saban turned Alabama into a Dynasty again because he knew what to do.

.....and his backup talent is better than the starters on 99% of the teams.

^^^ this kind of proves Bull Dozer's point.
