There was some smoke that Ole Miss was looking at Taggart

Guarantee these "rumors" were made up by the same SEC dumbasses that said Cristobal was going down there this past offseason because he "hated Eugene". The Pro-SEC "sources" for ESPN are flat not to be trusted. Florida fans are the most likely culprit here.

Maybe, or maybe Taggart's agents is using all the coaching vacancies as a chance to lobby for a better contract with Oregon?
I'm sure Taggart is on a lot of list to give a call to though.

Could really only see Taggart go to Florida (or Florida State, if it ever opened up). No other place makes sense to me as any kind of 'upgrade' to Oregon for what Willie is looking for.

The person who better be on the phone to Taggart is Oregon AD, Rob Mullens, better yet, in person. Whether this report about Taggart's "happiness" are true or just his agent making noise, Mullens has to get in front of this. Taggart has the leverage with Oregon given his ties to Florida, the recruiting class he's built, the buyout that won't bother Florida at all. Mullens needs to find out what is really going on; with the early signing period quickly approaching every day this drags out only hurts Oregon's position with the recruits

Pretty sure Taggart already squashed this. I don't know how much damage control is needed at this point.Merganzer wrote:The person who better be on the phone to Taggart is Oregon AD, Rob Mullens, better yet, in person.

that's just it, although I am calling B.S. Mullens AND Willie T. need to make some kind of short statement to clear this up either way!! We havscrewe one hell of a recruiting class coming in, which is sure to change if Willie T. does want out, but screw any tweets... this NEEDS to be addressed with a statement. I don't like hearing this crap on national TV.

The fact that kids continue to commit leads me to believe Taggart has addressed this with those that really matter at the moment. Granted they could all de-commit and follow him anywhere but wouldn't he tell them to hold off if he were really thinking about leaving.picksix wrote:that's just it, although I am calling B.S.

On top of that he's put together one of the top recruiting classes in the country at little ole Oregon. How much better is it going to get anywhere else? I also think the Nike connection means something to these coaches and I'm guessing he doesn't want to piss off PK by leaving after one year.

Re: "There's been talk of Willie Taggart Wanting out of Oreg
Why? Any statement taking this head on just feeds the rumor mill. He made alluded to all of this in his press conference after the game. On top of that, even if he intends on staying today, Chip could rebuke Florida and they could come offer Willie $6M/yr tomorrow in a state with no income tax and he could be gone tomorrow. I don’t get people who stress over crap they have no control over. If he wants to make 3x as much money in his home state and a more fertile recruiting ground, such is life. This was and will always be a possibility when you hire a guy with roots down there.picksix wrote:that's just it, although I am calling B.S.

He was asked to day how he handles these rumors. He stated by being honest with the recruits. He stated it would be wrong and unfair lying to recruits. We still have guys committing and re affirming so I am sure he has been asked and told the kids it's all bullshit.

Of course we have no control over what Taggart does. Mullens does My hope is that Mullens is proactive in keeping Taggart at Oregon.Duck24 wrote:Why?
