I hope Taggart wasn't forced into firing them.  I hope he came to the conclusion on his own and can target some better guys.  Need recruiters first and foremost.

Couldn't have been forced to do it. I keep reading that the president and AD bear no responsibility for the state of the football program since they don't have day to day involvement so this would be out of character.

Wow I didn't see this coming but I can see why it needed to happen. Maybe this brings in Coach Weiner from Plant as the OC....? Or has that deal gone soft Lulz

Simplified the Coordinator job has 3 components: teaching players the schemes; game planning; and, play calling. The last gets most of the criticism although the first is probably the most important.

Super Bowl winning coaches Sean Payton and Mike McCarthy totally agree with you. :smazza/

Hard to argue with the moves. However, seems like they're the scapegoats for Taggart's baby being a complete train wreck.. Hopefully we bring in an experienced Offensive Coordinator who calls the plays.

OLine I can definitely understand.  OC doesn't make too much sense, we all know that CWT is the OC.  Sounds like the ideal scenario would be to bring in a good, experienced OLine coach and give him the title of OC to increase the salary for the position.
 
It's easy to make an argument on either side of good or bad.  Sounds like he's found scapegoats for the offense, but if it was coaching issues that should point at CWT.  It's his scheme and he's in charge of the coaching.  At any rate, he better #dosomething better when he hires replacements.

He fired the OC in name only.  Taggart calls the plays.  For all intents and purposes Taggart is the OC.  The person with the title OC gets a bullet point on his resume.

 

Taggart fired the QB and OL coaches.  The OL play was bad.  It makes sense.  As for QB, I don't think there was much to work with.  Maybe Taggart has a more effective recruiter in mind.  Sheridan has been around him for a while.  So, Taggart knows what he's got in Sheridan and thought better to get someone else in.  Hopefully someone that can bring in a QB.

It's not like this decision required much by way of discretion or football knowledge.  Our offense was literally among the worst in college football.  So, it could still be true that the president and the AD are mostly hands off - EXCEPT in cases like this one, where even my grandmother can identify the problem.  Could also be that big donors contacted the president and the AD, who then contacted CWT... you know, the "it" rolls down hill phenomenon.

 

In a way, I'd like it if someone other than CWT stepped in, because it shows that someone other than CWT and the members of this board cares.

Maybe Taggart should relinquish play calling duties and turn it over to the OC.

Don't think it's going to happen.

I heard that CWT will be interviewing all the experts on TBP to fill the vacant positions.

 

Pretty sure I submitted my resume first.  I have better qualifications than anyone here ...

    "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

    “This is not a broken football program by any means. It just needs to be united, to get everybody on the same page, share that same vision, and really to have that standard - best is the standard.”
