He’s a good fit. I think he and Kiffen are the best candidates with the most proven resumes. I’d take Taggart over anyone who currently is coaching a pocket passing QB.  - Young and ambitiou

I remember when we used to make fun of UCif for this type of nonsense.

He's an ambitious (and please, SOMEONE come up with a non-USF homer reason why this is a bad thing) young head football coach who has had 4 college coaching jobs, all of which were programs in need of a rebuild. 

Rebuilds take time.  To paraphrase a famous quote from TBP long ago, you can't just go through the drive-thru at McDonald's and get a winning team in a few minutes.  

Successful at the first two, one of them being USF, had a winning season at Oregon then got a chance in a lifetime to coach his favorite boyhood team.  It sucks that said team didn't give him a full chance.  He has a template, it's pretty easy to see and FSU ignored it because they're too impatient.

It's really sad how people parrot his bowl record.  So he had the critical misfortune to turn around a team and get rewarded for it before he could coach more than one.  I'm sure he's sorry some of you hate him for that.  Guess what - we need him to do what he has proven to be good at.

I have no problem with him coming back here if he really wants it and it makes sense, $-wise.  I think a good # of you need to look in the mirror and legit ask yourself if you wouldn't do the same thing he has done.

I do not trust many on this board to be honest about it though.

Resume:

10 years of head coaching experience.

0-1 in bowl games. (That’s right, present for 1 bowl game in 10 years and lost it).

Overall record of 56-62.

One season of 9 wins or more.

Zero conference championships won.

Zero conference championships played for.

.... but yet, some are acting like CWT was our savior.  I just don’t get it.  We can do better.

 

 

30 offensive records broken as head coach. 

21-4 last 25 games at USF. 

 

He could pull a Strong, a flash in the pan with a rare QB, failed stint at a blue chip, then fail again.

He was USF's savior after the complete debacle of Holtz.  Maybe you don't like scoring 50 points a game, but I do.

Also, I love it how some people point out his overall record, as if he didn't take over complete dumpster fires, that no one would have come in and won right away.  The fact that he took over garbage programs made his record what it is.  I mean he literally took over an 0-12 WKU team.  Of course that team is going to lose the first year.  Same as the 3 win team he took over from Holtz.  USF just wasn't going to win right away, I don't care if they brought in Nick Saban, USF wasn't going to win that year.  His overall record is misleading due to that, and not pointing out those facts and just listing his record is disingenuous.

For real though, bring Leavitt as DC since there is a relationship, donate FSU money to IPF and we'll see. I think I could get on board. I've been totally against it but if he commits to the program as a whole, long term with favorable buyout and large donation. I may give him another chance to fool me....

Honestly, same

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
