who are the assistant coaches

[mellobull]

I wonder who will be OC since he said USF will deploy an offense that isn't usually seen in college ball, it will be like Stanford or the 49ers.

Taggert

Taggert

It's TaggArt

...Is Hargreaves the ST coach? Whoever the ST coach was needs to go.

Who coached the DE? He should be out too.

He handled both positions.

UF will hire him. Unless his son comes here ...

In Taggart's first year calling plays in 2000, WKU ran for 293.4 yards per contest, leading the Gateway Football Conference and ranking second in the country in the category as WKU claimed the league title and advanced to the quarterfinals of the I-AA playoffs. In his first season in 1999, WKU ranked eighth in the nation and first in the conference in rushing.

Taggart's efforts helped WKU quarterbacks earn all-conference mention in three consecutive seasons - Jason Johnson (2000), Donte Pimpleton (2001) and Jason Michael (2002).

Taggart might call plays I'd even say it is likely but it isn't very common for a head coach to burden himself with every day position coach duties.

So I see that the assistant coach pool is $1.9 million, up from $1.85 according to this article (http://www.tampabay....last-years-pace).

Fitch - $280,000

Patrick - $170,000

Scott - $170,000

Smith - $210,000 DB Coach - this guy should have his LinkedIn account ready.

Vass - $190,000

Hargreaves - $190,000

Shankweiler - $185,000

Cosh - $325,000 (I threw up in my mouth typing this)

Pathon - $80,000

The assistant pool was going to increase to 1.9 million for this year any way.

Taggart is going to bring in Blackwell and Woodie. Those guys are in the position much like Taggart where they can get a substantial pay increase, to compensation that is very fair for their experience, and still be making less than their former counterparts here. You can start them "low," probably 140 or less. KP and Scott look likely to remain, and probably at similar or slight pay raises. No reason to pay a TE coach 190k or a lame DB coach 210K or a guy who coaches only half the D Line 190K.

Also, last years salaries also only total up to 1.8, so I think you can find another 150-200k to spend just by bringing in a couple younger coaches and using the rest of the money that wasn't utilized last year ( or we don't know how it was used, as it was allocated after the article was published).

The question is USF prepared to buy Cosh out or are they handicapping Taggart with that salary?

Can't see DW making Coach T keep Cosh...

No, but does that $300k come out of the 2013 assistant salary pool?
