    "Rescheduled" a meeting with a 4* kid here in Houston tonight, so he could meet with FSU

    Done with him.

    He hasn't won shit... it's amazing how much street cred someone can get without actually accomplishing anything.

    I can't fault a guy that much. Yeah, you shouldn't be shirking your job and potentially losing recruits, but my last job offer battle was pretty intense for me and I wasn't about to decide on the one chance i have to make life-changing money.

    Especially if Uncle Phil says "give me a chance to match"?!

    You owe it to your family to take that interview. If the kid doesn't understand that or that's the final straw, well, them's the breaks. If you had a shot with him, meet him Thursday after signing your fat new deal and say "Look, man, I just made 40M. The first thing I did was come see you, b/c I think you're important to the program"

    If he's willing to take Phil's money I'm more than fine with him staying. Taggart has more than proved his worth in recruiting to warrant top pay in at leas the Pac 12. When has Oregon ever had such a promising class?? Recruiting is like 90% of college football success.

    He assembled the #1 HS class in just a few months to come to Oregon.

    And FSU wants that class.

    I want a coach that wants to be the Oregon Ducks football coach, not just to cash in on Nike money. Fuck him. Dead to me

    I'm sure he'd still want to be here but just be compensated well for how hard he works recruiting. It's not an easy job haha

    Like who? How many people can recruit like he does? He hasn't even had time to run HIS offense yet either. I'll be extremely saddened if he leaves because it ultimately means oregon will have a brand new staff again minus Leavitt staying... another rebranding... Herbert's third year in a row with different coordinators/HC's.

    If Taggart leaves it's a disservice to the kids in this program who deserve so much more than be in coaching limbo.

    If he stays, he's still good. If he leaves after a year, he can go suck Chip Kelly's dick with some barbeque sauce.

    Not good with me. ZERO reason to talk with FSU unless you want more money, or you want to go to FSU. Either way it's bush league

    So you want a coach that doesn't want to be here?

    You feel me fuck this guy. He’s not even that special fuck. Clearly FSU doesn’t want him that BAD. And if they do it seems like they obviously were wanting others

    Fuck Taggart go get Sumlin
