I'd take him back in a heartbeat.  He'd just need to be ok with a really large buyout.

Wait..I think you mean exit payout. Large buyouts is what is killing us now.

Willie Taggart was perhaps one game away from getting fired here. Home vs Syracuse, 2015. Homecoming game. His record was 7-19. The pitchforks were coming out. With nothing to lose, Willie turns Quinton Flowers loose. The Bulls win in an upset, and finish the season on a 7-2 run.

QF, Marlon Mack, and several other gamers saved Willie's ass.

I’d pass. We hired a coach that got fired at Texas since he couldn’t get the job done and now want to hire a coach that was fired after he couldn’t get it done at fsu. I’ll pass on that. No more retreads instead go the young coordinator route

Taggart's a retread?  He's in in 40's, it's not like he's old.  He's still got tons of fire.  He wasn't given enough time at FSU.  He would have turned it around in 3-4 years there.  Same as he did here and WKU.

Taggart is energetic, fun, and can recruit his tail off.

Well if he leaves, Someone pays a buyout right?  Usually the school hiring him?  I'd be worried about him leaving again.

I don’t understand the animosity towards Taggert

He won games, put an exciting product on the field and left the program in better shape than when he arrived 

Thank you.  Charlie, on the other hand, lost games, put a boring product on the field, and left the program in worse shape when he arrived.  Far worse.  Taggart would get it rolling again, and fairly quickly.

Willie T's first full recruiting class here (2014) was loaded. Perhaps our greatest recruiting year ever. QF, Mack and several other great contributors in there.

Willie T's following two full recruiting classes were not nearly as good. Willie T's success came down to a couple offensive studs.

Much like how Teddy Bridgewater made it for Charlie at Louisville.

We need someone who can build a complete roster, and properly manage 60 minutes on the field.

So in other words, Willie Taggart recruited QF and MM.

And he would recruit us more QF and MM type players.

Except for a handful of active coaches at winning programs, gamers always make the HC look good.  Taggart’s still young and could turn this around again.
