Taggart leaving Oregon for Florida State

Don't know if this is indicative of their fanbase as a whole, but I was talking with co-worker last week who is an Oregon fan and lives out there. He was totally sanguine about Taggart leaving; thought nobody would really want him and thought he hadn't done anything at Oregon that would make him any more appealing than he was before he arrived. I even specifically mentioned "but what if the FSU job opens up" and he kind of chuckled. Bet he's surprised now.

Heres the deal
1 Taggart can recruit
2 He hired a great staff at Oregon
3 He was tough on off field BS
4 As much as ,some Eastern media think he was good at discipline and fundamentals, Oregon was one of the most penalized teams in the country under Taggart
5 Oregon was consistently out scored in the second half.
Nebraska 21-0
Wyoming 3-7
ASU20-21
cal 20-27
WSU 20- 0
Stanford 21-0
UCLA 17-0
Wash 21-0
Utah 14-24
AZ 7-20
OSU 3- 17

Yes Oregon out scored some lesser opponents in the second half, lets face it game time adjustments are not Willies thing

Didn't he lose his top recruits last year?

I think Taggart will kill it there. Another name I was high on. UF and FSU landed really good coaches. All three Florida programs will be pretty good again at the same time soon.

Plus I’d like to add that Oregon’s team was full of a bunch of pansies. Helfrich killed the culture there. Taggart did well just to go 7-5 with the ducks. Like whoever our coach will be will be doing well to go 7-5 in year 1.

I agreed with this stance up until Urban Meyer became UF's football coach.

What Urban allowed under his watch takes away any moral high ground we had on FSU, and that wasn't much to begin with.

We all have dirt under our fingernails.


Sure, we looked the other way far too much for about three or four years.

With FSU, it's been three or four decades.

Taggart is a great hire for them, I really hate to see it. He can recruit well, especially in Miami, plus FSU has a long history of looking the other way anything on or even fairly far over the line.

There may be a scandal down the road that forces FSU to take some accountability for the (literally) renegade football program and its history of lax discipline. But until then, they are going to be a major force.

I'll leave this here:

Actually, if QB Justin Herbert doesn't get hurt, Oregon probably wins 2 to 3 more games this year. The Ducks were 6-1 with Herbert at QB. The back up true freshman QB wasn't ready for prime time and that's on the coaches.

I'm not sure who they may have lost, but they did get some good ones.

Sure, but you can't look at one isolated incident. If you look at the totality, their program is very inclined to ignore things. You have to understand that, with FAMU in the same town, there is an entirely different society within that community.

WTF does that mean?

Sure, FAMU with all of the young black women there helps FSU recruit but what you do you mean an entirely different society?

Then again, just stop with the excuses.
