I'd be shocked if they win six games next year. Ultimately, they'll fire him after 2015. Based on what I've seen I can't imagine he makes it. Given how bad the AAC is I can see Taggart falling backwards into 6 wins and stayng here with us a solidly mediocre team in a terrible division. How many first and Macks does it take to realize this guy's coaching tools are way too limited? We are in the good division. Cincy, ECU, UCF, and Temple every year. Florida State and Maryland on the road and Syracuse at home next season. I would be happy to get 6 wins out of that honestly. Well, there are seven losses right there... Are we gonna play 13 games so we can get a bowl- 12-7=5 not bowl elligible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, "accountability" and "high standards" weren't exactly hallmarks of this program before Harlan stepped in. Woolard wanted to be friends with Skippy. I like that Harlan is playing boss, not golf buddy. Because after 24 games Mr. Taggart, it's evident a boss is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the AD reviewing the season is normal too. And since I found a Sept. article with Harlan saying that USF only has 2100 donors, I know why he's saying he's committed. His hands are tied.

Since he is young like Antigua, he will be willing to take less money for an opportunity that if successful will eventually lead to a top tier job. I would love to see us run the Oregon offense here, I think we have the athletes in the area to run it. Can you imagine Mack running the ball vs a spread out defense. We need a young up and comming OC from a program that has some championship experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(3) I expect a "Muschamp ultimatum" to change things up a bit, and for the offense to be revamped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No link, but I'm pretty sure Judy fired, him, but made Doug tell him - because they WERE buddies, and it would soften the blow. Everybody LIKED Skip, he was a very likeable person. Dare I say it, even a very GOOD person. Just not a good coach for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were AD I would be scoping out Oregon, TCU, Auburn, Arizona. Programs like that. Taggart needs to go the SEC, he'll be right at home and bore the heck out of the fans whereever he ends up.

If we just lose Wulfe and shuffle some Offensive coaches to make it look like changes it will be meaningless. Get ready to be disappointed. CWT doesn't seem to me to be the kind of guy to just be a figurehead HC. He won't relinquish control over play calling. .. But he has demonstrated that he cant call plays.
