It is true Bubba. Time to support our new coach - all of us. He deserves that. I'm not going to speak ill of him... but I will chew into Doug and Judy for a few days for hiring a Sun Belt coach without even interviewing Bobby Petrino or Butch Davis who are getting interviews from Arkansas State?! I'm not a fan of this hire either... I'm am hoping to eat crow, I will support him, but I'm not happy. Butch would have been a great hire. I hope I'm wrong Agreed Edited December 8, 2012 by Bubba Bull 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davis would have been big and I completely agree they should have interviewed him (assuming they didn't) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The possible longevity of this coaching stint with taggart might have separated him from the pack... FL native coming back home to coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
