Word around the campfire.

[Bull Dozer]

I think Taggart was a bad hire

 

Really?  You've never expressed that thought here.  

[FatDaddyBull]

I have to agree with smazza and Bear. I don't think pinning this on the defense is the way to go and I'll feel like Willie gets off easy if that's the change we make.

[hm101]

Willie interfered with the offense. Personnel don't need to change. Process does.

Nothing specific, but ...

Taggart will be speaking to both DC & OC and a decision will be made. Changes will be made. Urgency regarding changes and on to recruiting and getting ready for 2015.

Tweaking the Offense to the personnel is being considered.

Coaching of QB's needs to improved.

Tweaking the offense to the personnel? Why the eff are we talking about doing this after the freaking season is over?????

 

 

Because it actually means changing the playbook... but truthfully our current personnel are suited well enough to this offense... it's not like White could run a spread offense with a read-option play... and it's not like we have a ton of speedy WRs.

[usfbullrider]

I just hope the clearly communicate with the fans what the plans are. Are we bringing in a spread guru or is it just a tweak?

[Dhambuc]

Coach T doesn't have the  personnel (Coaches),  or he doesn't let the coaches call the plays as they should. He took over most of the play calling and we saw how that played out.  The lack of discipline is all on the coaching.  How many chop blocks this season esp late in the year, or stupid penalties at crucial times in the game.  (UCF game first and goal at the one to get 0 points, is just Pathetic and a new LOW) (fans of this program should be outraged that he allowed OUR team to get Shut out at home to UCif).

 

 We don't have the players to show marked improvement next season considering the players we are losing as well.   We need a QB or 2,(none have shown anything this year that leads many to believe they will lead this team to a bowl game).   We need several for the Oline,  We need Receivers ( Davis is gone ( USF record holder in how many categories?), (we need receiver's  that actually know how to catch a ball.   We need a Kicker (Kloss is gone, he was a Groza award finalist) ,  We need D linemen, and Depth at EVERY POSITION.  

 

Even if he pulls in a TOP 50 class (which will be tuff this year) I don't see getting everything we need to turn this around in ONE YEAR. (he will use the excuse that he is "playing a young team and needs time to get it right") . (After all we are "Not Alabama")

 

I bought in to Coach T hook line and sinker like many, Unfort the last 4-5 weeks my eyes were opened to the fact that he is ALL TALK  and not that good as a head coach.  Don't get me wrong, I like him personally  I bought into the talk ( the Bus , Do Something ect...)   but I now believe that talk is to cover the ineptness in the coaching ability.  He is a good recruiter though.  Too bad we cant demote him to a coordinator or just a recruiter and get a coach that is a PROVEN winner at this level.

Think I'll wait until the dust settles on this. I just hope they get it right.

Not true

As he's been very right in the past, I'll go with Bausfkid on this one.

I think Paul Wulff was a bad hire

 

I think we have no idea if Wulff was a bad hire.  But it was probably a good one.  Wulff did a great job in spring and early in the year of streamlining the offense and running a crisp, up tempo offense.  Sure, it wasn't perfect, but play calls were getting in and there was a bit of something going on.  CWT didn't like what was happening and jumped in to "help".  By the end of the season we were once again trying to run up the line and snap the ball with 7 seconds on the clock and there was zero continuity.

 

I do not have definitive proof, but I saw CWT plenty of times take 20 seconds or so just to get a play call in, and he was the one making the call.  He is indecisive and it kills the offense, along with the general lack of imagination.  If CWT had Stanford's Oline, or played WKU's schedule he could get away with it because the OLine would dominate most games.  Therefore we could run the ball even if they knew it was coming.  We play defenses that are closer in personnel to our offense, so that crap don't work.  That blows up the whole offense, but CWT isn't smart enough to figure it out.

 

We need a scheme that doesn't require vastly superior talent.

It's true. Or it's not. But definitely one of the two.

OK. But don't hold me to it.

 

 

I won't  .... but maybe I will.
