Bring back Bull Sharks. Don’t even know why we stopped using the term.

Because our DC who originated it went to be HC at Indiana.

This is what USF does wrong. When they fired Leavitt they opted to go in a different direction and hire Skip Holtz. When Taggart left they opted to not keep his systems in place. When will they learn?

Taggart had terrible defenses after Allen left.  Remember when they gave up about 50 points to Navy in one half? He had nothing left to lose when he let Q and Mack loose.

And he still couldn't beat C. To get a trip to the conference championship.

Changing directions in certain areas is sometimes needed.

" When they fired Leavitt they opted to go in a different direction and hire Skip Holtz." -  Holtz was 72-30 with 3 conference championships(2 in CUSA) before USF.

Skip’s success at ECU is why I was really excited about the hire. I thought we plateaued under Leavitt; I was quite wrong to say the least.

I agree.  Then made a similar mistake by being in support of Coach Charlie Strong.

Taggart smoked UCF so think you got that confused with Charlie Strong.

Think you misses the point. USF could of kept Leavitt’s system alive by making one of his assistants head coach but they basically went too woke any cleaned out the coaching staff. It was a complete overhaul with the coaching staff.

    “In my mind, I’m kind of like, ‘OK, excuses over'. We know what we need to do. We’ve got the right team together, and now we move forward, and we’ll evaluate and be accountable to each other, including myself, from this point forward.”
