New RB coach

[BullFan98]

New running backs coach doesn't have much experience, if any, with coaching in that position.  I hope this is a good coaching hire for us and not just a good old boys club hire.  Time will tell I suppose.  I liked the comment above about not having to worry about him jetting anytime soon.  Last two hires at this position were better, and so thought two other schools.

[The Great 8]

Allen, Hope, Hampton, Pimpleton.

 

One of these is not like the others.

 

(Hint: It's Allen)

 

Universally, on paper, awful hires aside from Allen.

I guess we'll see if that translates to Taggart's demise after this season. I'm cautiously optimistic that the defense will be better, and I'm thinking that with co-offensive coordinators and Taggart continuing to call the plays, the offense will continue being offensive (in the bad sense).

Nepotism, cronyism, call it what you want. Taggart knows he'll be gone after this year, so he's getting a few friends paid and titled so they can go elsewhere with "experience" on their résumés. Its nice that he's looking out for people he knows yet gives us insight to his real expectations and bodes poorly for any hopes for the year, IMHO.

Call it the way most coaches fill out a good portion of their staffs .... with people they're familiar with. Look no further than our current men's hoops coach for a perfect example.

Then why didn't he give one of his buds the Defensive Coordinator job? That "experience" would certainly look good on a resume if that was his intent in filling out his staff .... Bottom line, there's no insight to his "real" expectations being given with these hires, IMHO.

This group went 16-20 in three years at WKU. So that means we're going 10-2 this year now that the gang is back together again.

I want some of what you are drinking

Was definitely sarcasm

No s---- Sherlock

 

 

LOL ... clearly the sarcasm went way over your head initially ...

Wait, so Harlan has already decided?

Every damned thread seems to become a feeding frenzy of negativity. I've had enough, I say, ENOUGH !!!
