I have never heard Taggart say he was modeling anything after Memphis.  Stanford maybe, but never Memphis.

 

The only similarities are to build a tough defense and based around a solid running game.

 

Memphis in their second year under Fuentes was much further ahead in their progress than USF in Taggart's second year.  Take a look at their season in 2013.  They took most games that they lost deep into the fourth quarter with a chance to win and actually lost several on last play of several games and also a few dumb interceptions by their freshman QB.  Looking back, all the signs were that they would be a pretty good team once their QB got some experience and once they put together a few of the missing parts.  

 

We still look like we are starting over against all, but the worst teams in the league.  They also didn't have attendance to their games dropping close to 10,000 or 12,000 people which is the wild card on how long Taggart is afforded to stay.  

 

I am not sure if Taggart should stay or go, but all I continue to see on the field is a mess.  It is great that we are getting nice recruits on paper, but recruits usually take another two or three years to truly develop.  Another 2 to 3 years of patience is asking a lot when attendance is dropping like a rock.

So basically the model is next year we can be in a lot more games and by 2016 we have to hope the schedule is soft enough where we can make waves in the AAC?

If they're talking about Memphis' "model" being to build a run-first O and a stout D, then yeah, we're trying to follow that model. But that could be said for a load of college football programs. That doesn't mean CWT picked Memphis as the role model.
