so we went from sifting through reccomendations to hiring taggart? This is a bad hire honestly. I mean he plays terrible competition year in and year out. It was similar to Temple with Al golden only beating one team with a winning record over there. I mean he doesnt excell on offense or defense. It just doesnt make sense to hire someone cause you assume he can recruit florida. We had coaches who would have produced offensively and kids would have flocked to play for us. I would love to be proved wrong but this hire just doesnt make sense. You guys are assuming he can recruit. Assuming it took some kind of RIDICULOUS coaching ability. It could have been terrible before hand and anything better than before can get to 7-5. It just wasnt a dominating year for a coach to get this kind of attention. Personally think we will be having this conversation in another 4 years.

It isn't us. Rivals ranked him as a top recruiter. This sentiment is shared by high school coaches who I think would know more about recruiting than you - just a guess

This is a terrible hire. There are bigger names and better coaches out there. Looks like USF took the cheap way . The program has not upgraded one bit with the hiring of Taggart. Looks like a lot of

December 7th will be remembered ... For two reasons now!

ET, I know what you were tying to do, but out of respect for those that died, can you please delete this post?

Disagree - recruiting is 80% of the battle - and he can RECRUIT! Hire a good OC and DC and we're on our way.

guess USF needed to hire him to meet the state quota on minorities.

And the ugly ulterior motive reveals itself in your third post.

Basketball is a players game, football is a coaches game. The talent difference in football is not that different between one team and another. It's all about schemes, technique and motivation in football and Taggert does these very, very well. The best coaches get 2stars to play like 4stars and 3stars to play like 5stars. Taggert is one of those guys.

In hoops it's all about the five kids on the floor for the most part.

Recruiting the right players is part of the battle but kids go to schools because of tradition of winning..we dont have that...

As much as kids like college coaches they do not go there just because they like them as people. Every coach kisses their butt.

Academics..well we arent the best that you can offer but its not bad...

Well what does a kid reallllly care about then??

Well he cares about putting up numbers and getting seen and playing at the next level. We hired a guy who does not generate any attention as far as offense or defense. If were worried about a good OC and DC were screwed. A good head coach nowadays has his hands in one of the other more than the OC or DC...You guys are looking for managable reliable coaching and thats all well and dandy but its going to keep us 7-5 and 6-6 the whole way. We could have gotten someone to take our offense or defense to the next level and make kids want to come because they want to play in it...We did not accomplish that. These kids will still choose the other schools over Taggart anyday.
