Willie Taggart now a real possibility for Gators. He’s been contacted; boosters actively discussing (Reporting w/@sportsDen_live)

God...Oregon must be thinking "We have Phil Knight and all we get is one year of Willie friggin Taggart".

Good lord, that would be awesome. I live in Oregon. Duck fans are an insufferable nouveau riche breed.

He turned South Florida around. Jim Leavitt did a good job with them and then put them in the dumps. Taggart did a good job at WKU and there.

Skippy Holtz put them into the ditch.

Agreed, Taggart got the bus out of the ditch. But he really has no long-term record to brag about.

Taggart's record of player development is spectacular. He's taken a bunch of three star Floridians and built them into a dynamic, sustainable program. Think of what he could do with 4 and 5star kids.

They ***could*** but they would be showing their absolute desperation and stupidity in doing it. Petrino shafted the Falcons and Kiffin shafted the Vols. Why in the world would either team want to relive that?

i imagine they are done messing with an HC from the "minor leagues." i saw Cutcliffe from Duke getting mentioned. i actually think that's a strong candidate. i can also see Bobby Petrino, Tee Martin (if he's interested) and Chad Morris. i think it's bad business for Matt Campbell to jump ship so quickly. Honestly, he can probably parlay his current success into a bigger payday in Ames. i doubt Scott Frost goes to Tenn. He'll have other options himself once the carousel really kicks in to full gear.

But see... Here's the rub with Kiffin. He IS a coach from the "minor leagues." Seriously. He's currently at FIU...can't get much more bush-league than that. His stops in the "Major leagues" have all been failures: he left Tennessee in the middle of the night after one season, he got fired at the NFL Raiders and USC...both in ignominious fashion. The word at Alabama was that he provoked near physical violence in dealing with Nick Saban. And now some writer thinks that Kiffin ought to be a candidate at Tennessee...because???

I think the other names on that list (minus Gruden) are better options. Fuente at VaTech is especially interesting.

Exactly...his team is so minor league, posters can't even pick the right F_U! (I had to )

Seriously though, I bet they try to drop the bag, then realize no big names want to deal with that **** and end up with a Norvell/Morris/Frost type. I have no idea why Justin Fuente would want to leave VT, which is a better program with infinitely more national relevancy in the last two decades.

Initially it sounded like it was going to be announced Wed/ Thurs of this week, but apparently, Mr. Kelly, had some very specific things he needed done prior to completing negotiations.

Somewhere along the line UF pivoted from Mr. Frost, to Mr. Kelly. Lotta speculation on why this was the case. Either which way, they were 1a & 1b for the position all along with Mr. Mullen being a distant 3rd option.

Nebraska is gonna fire their coach, so one way or another our conference is likely to lose AT LEAST 1 of our coaching stars. Memphis's coach is rumored to be somewhere down the list for UT. Whenever they give up on their Gruden dream.
