I just don't want them promoting the OC to the job, that seems like it would be very underwhelming. They need to make a splash.
Good recruiting, but not a very good head coach. I'd rather get a Sumlin which has proven to be an above average coach at least. Kiffin seems like he still has potential, and I don't think he'd pull a leaving in one year again.
Mario Cristobal. Makes most sense. Great recruiter. HC experience. Players like him. And include a gigantic buyout. Enough of this stepping stone crap.
Kiffin would probably stay at Oregon till he got fired, I honestly think he realizes his next P5 job will be his last.
This isn't even close to the NBA. The college head coach acts as both general manager and head coach in order to recruit 85 players, maintain their eligibility, and compete in a field of over 100 opponents. The effect of a coach leaving can be catostrophic to the trajectory of a program, especially when such a departure leaves the current recruiting class in limbo as the early signing period approaches. What is interesting is that all assistants will be coaching and recruiting until just after the bowl game, and only then will it start being revealed which coaches are staying and going. That date is Dec 16, the early signing period starts Dec 20. There are already MANY recruiting allotments that Taggart has used pitching himself as coach such as official visits and in-home visits that are effectively off the table for any future coach hired for this cycle. No, it's not even close to the same thing.
Bye Willie. Wish we could land Kelly again. I would think he still has something to prove, losing the National Championship game, and that being that HE is capable of leading any team, any college into the playoffs, and into a championship victory.
You can be upset that Taggert left your team high and dry but to call him that is crossing the line in my opinion.
