re: Florida St...Doing background work on Willie Taggart in case of Fisher leaving

Most of the Oregon staff has very strong ties to Florida. I don't think he would leave after a year for any job other than Florida or Florida State. If it truly is his dream job, those opportunities do not come along very often.

My somewhat biased perspective on Taggart...

Lights out recruiter, as seen with this current class. Can he develop the talent? That remains to be seen at Oregon. I think that's something you can't judge until about year 3.

Great at game plans. Struggles to adjust if things aren't like he planned for the game though. I'd be a little worried about how massive the dropoff was when Herbert was injured. Is Herbert that good or Burmeister that bad? They win maybe 4 games without Herbert.

I think their offense will always be good under Taggart. How critical is it to Taggart's success to hold onto Leavitt? Can they be a consistently good defensive team under Taggart or will it be heavily reliant on who the DC is?
