Could USF be in search of a new coach this offseason?

No one is going to be offering Willie Taggart a promotion when we went 2-10 last year, (whether it was his fault or not still on his record and his watch) and will probably finish 4-8 this year. Not to mention we have a bottom 15 offense in all of college football once again..

Was Oswald alone on that fateful day in Dallas?

 

Will let you know in about a month. Heading out for the SMU game and first visit to Dallas and Dealey Plaza. Plan to spend a couple of hours there and I'm sure by the time I leave I'll have the mystery unraveled ...

Almost any change in coaching this year will be tough to over come.

Agreed. You can't keep blowing things up and expect to make progress.

 

I have been underwhelmed by Taggart so far, but, I am starting to see progress. I am starting to see where if we put a few plays together, we're winning games. We hung right with Wisconsin, on the road, with our best offensive player standing on the sidelines. With Davis coming back this weekend, I am strangely optimistic about this team. Adams is a good #2 and will get some opportunities to shine with Davis back. We all know that Davis can be a beast. If White can get time, he's not bad for a 19 year old kid. I believe that he can improve and actually be pretty good. Let's see how this season shakes out and go from there. Either way, we need to hope that Taggart is here at least 2 more years. Hopefully we are having some success at that point and could take the blow of another coaching change.

 

As for Harbaugh, not sure why he would come after our staff. He has a staff now and didn't hire any of the guys we have. He hasn't had Taggart with him anywhere in the NFL. Why would he come after us now? Doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Maybe he takes one guy, but, I think he builds his staff the same way he did in SF if he moves somewhere. As a Dolphins fan, if he comes there, I wouldn't mind seeing that be Leavitt's shot at a DC position in the NFL.

It would be tough, but it is so far from the possibility of happening it's not even worth talking about. What was the last head coach who went 2-10 and then 4-8(?) and then was offered a promotion or someone was doing everything they could to hire him away from where he was? Doesn't make sense.

Ridiculous. We don't lose losing coaches, we give them a raise and an extension!

 

Woolard is trying to renegotiate Skips buyout to extend him another 2-3 years because he's hearing that Skip may be getting more buyout money from La Tech and doesn't want to get one upped.

I doubt it happens either but Gene chizick was hired at Auburn (won a NC there) after going 3-9 then 2-10 at Iowa Sate.

    "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."

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
