The New AD & Football

Im no insider, but im starting to believe taggart did this himself to save his job.

 

 

You may have a point, maybe. He did try to use all three QBs and all of that, which didn't make much sense to me. But it was a sign that he was searching for answers.

 

Still, people don't give up their dreams that easily. Again, I go back to Captain Ahab! "There she blows, another 3 downs and punt!"

True. But pretty good guess he was forced into it. This is the problem with college football today. Too much pressure to win yesterday. The $ from tv has ruined everything. Used to be presidents had nothing to do with athletic departments. Now very involved. Just brings in too much money to ignore in this day and age. However, that is not the case at USF. Anyway, I say all for one and one for all. If I have to fire coaches, then you should fire me right now. Desperate times indeed in Tampa.

Let's play this out to the end of next year. Offense changes and team still sucks.

Harlan to Tags "You're fired".

Tags, "Why, you told me who to hire and what type of offense to run, shouldn't you quit?"

Very dangerous for the AD to get involved in coaching, unless he wants to be the head coach. It is just as possible, as others have suggested, that Tags did this on his own trying to save his job.

Harlan "Coach, 2014 wasn't a very good year".

Tags, "But Mr AD, it was only the offense and defense that stunk. I've fired both of those coordinators".

Harlan, "OK, you get to keep your job but we better be in the National Championship game or that guy on the Board of Trustees will make me fire you."

CR, do you envision Taggart ever clearing the air on who made these decisions and why?

 

 

I don't have any relationship with him so I really don't know.  My guess is we won't hear - at least from him.

Did Captain Ahab give up the white whale?

 

I take it you didn't finish that book.

It's a very fitting metaphor, just not for BasketBull's argument.

It's like a computer, without pages. And far less porn.

The white whale killed Ahab. Left alone, CWT would have taken USF football down with him and his power football. This was my point.
