This is great for the kids--3 years, 3 different OCs. Sure hope the next one is a great teacher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless if you are a Taggart supporter or dissident, the USF football trajectory was not good. Do we truly need another year to figure that out, I think not. After this past year, its arguable we were trending upward, and even if that is the case, the improvement rate was much to slow in such an important point in time (conference realignments). So what do you do? Make some drastic changes, retool the coaches b/c you have to feel the talent is better than its been in several years. Best case scenerio you land just the right combination of coaches to make some magic happen. Worse case you are slightly worse than you would have been had the coaches been retained. What is evident is that USF was not going to be were it needed to be next year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're going to install competent coordinators and we want your input, but they're not going to be handcuffed by you from doing their jobs. If you want to grow as a coach and lead USF football, let us help you. If you want to resign, there's the door.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Competent AD's don't hire coordinators ...If that's the way he felt, just completely clean house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Harlan was plenty candid that CWT's job is officially under the microscope, so he gets as much latitude to cut whomever THIS year. Next year, well, a candidate coordinator that doesn't believe in CWT's plan should probably just take a pass on USF. Just my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
