Kind of funny that highest ranked recruits is a California kid. Should be a law that Florida schools can't recruit out of Florida.

Don't know any of the recruits but the OT from Tampa would be my first choice if you put a gun to my head and made me pick.

I'd be more worried of the opposite, and that they would be after taggart. One of the big Florida jobs would be his dream job.

Don't worry about Taggart until Frost is off the market.

Taggart is currently in the middle of a season with some ugly losses and he still has full support of the fanbase and boosters. I can't imagine him being in much of a hurry to take a job in the SEC where they will put you on the hot seat if you can't beat Bama. They would already have a go fund me for his firing if he was at Florida.

My source just said Chip is officially back!
It will be announced at Autzen press conference tomorrow afternoon!

Really rash decision by Florida. He can't be expected with win with Franks - that kid is not even good enough to be a D2 QB.

But at the same time he was there long enough to recruit good QB’s. He has no mind for offense. So you think Florida was rash to fire McElwain but you want Taggart gone?

You have to be trolling in the other thread, or you're just incapable of thinking logically about the Ducks' roster. In your eyes, It's rash to fire McElwain, because of his QB (a high 4 star recruit, coming off a redshirt year). However, Taggart should be fired, because playing a lower rated (still a 4 star, but not as heavily sought after as Franks plus his "ratings" were generally lower) true freshman QB is apparently no excuse for a team to struggle. That makes absolutely zero sense, and you completely contradict yourself.

Edit: forgot to point out that your excuse is Oregon has too much talent to be losing, despite the QB. Guess who has had significantly higher ranked classes 4 of the last 5 years? You guessed it! McElwain with all this talent and one of the top Qbs in the class of '16 can't be expected to win, but Taggart can. Now, I think it's crazy how quickly they canned him. That's not my argument. The argument is that it's hypocritical to give him a pass and want Taggart out after half a season.

One of the names mentioned in ESPN's article about his firing is Taggart so we'll have to wait and see.

Look to the bright side... if Taggart leaves, we just might get someone who's really, really, ridiculously good to replace him. ;)
Willie Taggart is a dick.
