Announcement expected tomorrow.

Great hire.

Well, it's a better hire than Leavitt or that con artist slick Willie.

He should have gone to Memphis. That way he could have stayed a Tiger going from Clemson Tigers to Memphis Tigers.

He is a good hire, dammit. I told y'all to let mtmedlin handle it

Thank heaven. Lets fix this program once and for all...

I broke the news in another thread hours ago.

I still think Taggart is a good coach and my heart really wanted a return of coach Leavitt, but from everything that has been said,ourAD wanted Scott from the beginning and he’s getting HIS guy.

Personally, I think it’s an amazing hire. I didn’t think we had a real chance since I expected him to get a P5 offer.

I was reading about Scott on some Clemson message boards. Seems like they are happy for him, but sad to see him go and credit him for his recruiting prowess, especially in the state of Florida. Sounds like a potential home run hire.

Fair enough. You had a pretty random looking list of names. Didnt remember him

Outstanding. Congrats.

Scott will be announced tomorrow.

Another lame duck.

Excellent hire. He will absolutely make Usf very good.

You broke the news? As if you are a reporter and not an anonymous poster on a averagely read internet fan board. Jesus the ego the internet creates is absurd. Ya you broke the news, dear god.
Oh and my anonymous internet take, Taggart sucks and anyone who would want him as a coach sucks. USF made a big mistake and has now made a big correction

Like Tommy West did.

Hiring Clemson offensive coordinators to be head coach doesn't Always work out so well.

Just sayin.

Nice hire. Seems like a slam dunk. Well done USF.

Ya, I heard about the hiring before it was on any major news board... doesnt mean I have a ton of sources but I was connected enough to get it right well before others.... say what you will, I dont care.

There was 5 people that USF looked at hard, but Jeff Scott was one that our AD zeroed in on early and he never really changed his desire. He spoke with Taggarts agent, but there simply wasnt any support for Taggart to return. Many thought it was a safe cheap option... I still think Tag can coach and hes gonna get another shot at the G4 level very soon.

Coach Leavitt had some serious conversations and half the fanbase was really pumped for it. For nostalgia I loved it and would have been willing to give him another shot... The BOT had other feelings.

Larry Scott was interviewed and had a really good shot until Jeff Scott signaled he was interested.

In total, we were told there was over 30 coaches who contacted USF about the position but Jeff Scott seemed to have the best plan, recruiting and he really wanted the position. On paper he sounds like a great hire.. well see.

It propelled Morris into a p5 job...somehow.

Thisis a good move. By denying Leavitt can USF now move on from the past? that is the only way forward. Disaster averted.

LOL...it worked out great for the Chadster. He's got the hammer down in the fast lane all the way to the bank. Who else did it go well for? That highway is littered with two pissed off fanbases. One program is at an al time low and the other is crawling back into relevance. I sincerely hope that doesn't happen to USF. Sorry for Memphis to lose their guy too...but we are the stepping stone conference. The Morris debacle ought to make a smart guy think twice.
