re: What’s the big deal with taggart?

At a glance his overall WL record as a HC looks unimpressive. But he rebuilt two programs that were in rough shape. So, he had some inevitable losses in the early going at those two stints. He had those programs rolling when he left.

That's why Oregon hired him. Similarly he's had some inevitable losses in the early going at Oregon. He's recruiting very well at Oregon and has the program already trending upward well.

Taggart is an excellent coach & recruiter and a great fit at FSU. Reportedly, as FL native, he may consider a program such as UF or FSU to be a dream/destination job.
