Led by dual-threat quarterback Quinton Flowers, USF finished with an 11-2 record, including a win against No. 22 Navy. That season also featured a victory over rival UCF and three weeks ranked in the AP Top 25 poll, reaching as high as No. 19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the heels of the Taggart/Irinde/Oregon trial, an article was published that names Taggart the worst or one of the worst coaches ever at Oregon - and that's quite a long history there.... I didn't post it because I didn't want to fire up @Triple B so early into the summer months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's quite an accomplishment! The funny part about being rated the worst in Oregon history is that the 7-5 record is tied for his third best in his storied 13 year career sub .500 record. One of these things is not like the other but I am sure that aberration would be the course he stayed on had he just stayed here.

Meh, I'm sure that article had nothing to do with the extreme butt hurt that they had ..... although, one of the more understandable butt hurt situations from their perspective though, imo.

The source story here is one you'll all love. College football's 13 worst coaching hires from the past decade ... Cash Taggart is rated a terrible hire for F$U, and our buddy Charlie is also on the list. Willie is just one of the worst of the decade, with time in Oregon.

I agree he was a terrible coaching HIRE for Oregon considering what happened .... but as far as being the worst coach there, when they went from 4-8 to 7-5 in his one year there, that's ridiculous.
