Holtz/coaches/players botched that hire. You won't find 1 in 10 in the college football world that think that was a bad hire at the time ...

My concern with Taggart, is that from my understading he is similar to Holtz in the aspect that he is a 'program leader'. He's never been a coordinator and is not really known as a defensive or offensive guru. Does a head coach absolutely need to be....no. But that makes his hiring of coordinators very very very important, and with him being so young and having coached at so few places, will he have the ability to put the necessary staff together here to be a success.

urban meyer was never a coordinator. he went from wr coach to head coach

OK...well the only point he was trying to make is that if we don't start spending money on coordinators there is a chance Taggart might not be the best choice.

I thought the point he was making was that Taggart hasn't really been in the coaching ranks that long and may not have enough really good contacts to upgrade the coordinators he already has ...

sometimes that can be a positive. I'm not so sure Holtz connection to Cosh benefitted us all that much. same with Fitch.the reason tubberville got fired from auburn was because he was so loyal to his assistants . maybe a young guy with a fresh start can build better.

Skip hiring Cosh was pretty much his death knell. Not sure how he thought hiring a bad DC from a bad defense conference was a good idea especially considering he was probably days from being fired.

it was. he was familiar with him though and had worked with him in the past. sometimes people should be hired on merit. not based on who you know.

If we can get Shannon as DC. Taggart would have the Tampa Bay ties and Shannon would have the South Florida ties.

Well, Skip made a lot of highly questionable decisions, but I think had he hired a competent DC, he'd have at least gone 7-5 and made a bowl game. He'd have been here another year or two.

If we can get Shannon as DC. Taggart would have the Tampa Bay ties and Shannon would have the South Florida ties.

That would make a pretty dynamic duo. I'd sign off on that. Just have to make sure they get along and Taggart is strong enough to establish the pecking order with a guy with Shannon's credentials.

If the DC was/would have been responsible for more than twice as many wins as we ended up with SH should have never been hired in the first place.

    "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."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22
