How many pens do you think he brought with him to the meeting? I bet this one gets signed.

Yeah maybe this will be the second place he can have a career winning record at (only other being his only year at Oregon, 7-5)

Strong had some success at Louisville, and was a decent defensive coordinator. Taggart is none of those things.

Both are black. That’s the comparison.

He brought wku and usf back to solid from horrible. His last year at Usf they were really good.


He hasn't been good in the P5 but he has been good for two dead in the water G5 teams

Quinton Flowers would have made most coaches look good

diversity hire tbh. There just aren’t that many proven coaches to go around, and even fewer proven minority coaches.

Look I know taggart was in over his head at fsu, but let's not act like he did not progressively rebuild first wku, then usf, then get Oregon to a winning record. He is a damn good recruiter and if given time prolly would have eventually turned FSU around.

That's like saying that oh fleck sucks because at both of his stops they sucked the first two years

Did you watch a single game they played the last two seasons? Watch his V-tech on Labor day his first season and his last game against Miami. Zero improvement. He was awful and in way over his head.

What a truly terrible hire for FAU. So much for their upward trend - that is done
