Skip. Guy who had a ton of success at our level and washed out at major program? Charlie. Coordinator for major hot program? Jeff. And 90% of the fanbase was ready to fire Taggart too, so you could add him to this list... he just caught lightning in a bottle with Flowers, Mack, and Johnson. There is no one mold for a coach, and anyone who says "no [X type] coach" is ignoring the magnificent scope and diversity of USF's hiring failures. Jeff was never an offensive coordinator and being an OC was a step above his role as co-oc who didnt call plays or in charge of his side of the ball. He was Co-oc who didn't call plays and was labeled passing game coordinator and receivers coach. The more I see of his offense the less it seems he was involved with the passing game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with some of your conclusions, but the important part is that I agree with them in hindsight. The problem is we don't have hindsight when making new hires.

I thought for sure he would flop (can't coach his speed), and still not sure that his success will translate to a higher level. But definitely interesting to imagine where we would be if things fell differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope cjs find some magic and learns to win in one week against an fbs school. Any fbs coach he beats has been fired. So maybe he can get Napier fired.

CJS got a perfect score on that so why bother to look any further? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be nice in the NIL era. I assumed FSU would be snatching him up momentarily, but they seem to be doing alright now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His team is already likely better than us now...they beat FAMU 59 to 3. He have us back quite quick I believe just with talent brought in if he had semi decent OC and DC.
