I thought I remembered you being happy Taggart was gone. He seems like a terrible coach to me, regardless.1. USC has a female president who will not hire Urban on her watch. She's going to die on that hill.
2. Why is Florida State in such a hurry to fire Taggart? What happened to all his recruiting classes and the patience he was promised? It hasn't even been 2 full years. Seems a bit hasty to me. Desperate even.
3. Dallas just throttled the Eagles. There isn't a vacancy there. Garrett isn't going anywhere and there are more jobs in the NFL coming open sooner than Dallas. Dan Quinn, Anthony Lynn, Adam Gase, the 26 year old in Cincy...all will be fired before Garrett. Just a point of clarification.
This play was related to me by an FSU fan, and I have questioned his in game coaching abilities since. FSU punter was averaging 43 yards per punt, and kicks one 30 yards after getting run into. Penalty didn't give FSU a first down, so Taggart declined, giving Cuse the ball near midfield. In post game, someone asked him why he didn't elect to re-kick, and he said, "we had them on their side of the field and decided to put it on our defense." According to an article, FSU was having issues with blocking for punts, but that's also a coaching error, most likely, even if it's a more reasonable explanation than Taggart gave.
Looked up the interview:

I really don't blame FSU fans for wanting to get rid of the guy. Can't really point to one positive since he's been there, looking at it from the outside. If Alabama hires a guy who isn't a favorite at Vandy, he might get fired before he gets to even lose to a Wake Forest type team.
