The Coaching Search Thread

[Gatorraid81]

There’s a lot of noise on Twitter right now regarding Taggart. Young, really good, energetic coach. And he has Cristobal with him. Probably the best recruiter in the nation.

Would he leave after one year at Oregon? Is he unhappy there?

I don’t think so.

He's not exactly tearing up the Pac-10 this year. His passing O is ranked #95 in the nation.

Something to watch.

Hell, that's got to be like 20 spots higher than us, let go get him!

Sure. like all the locals call us UFlaG

So is the University of Florida State supposed to be UFST?

UFlaStT

December 3, 2017. Mark it in your calendar’s. The day after the AAC championship game.

I'd like the news to break during the beatdown of UGA in the SEC championship game

I think the Urban hire was right before the Championship Game and that's all that was really talked about.

I think it's Kelly......AD knows we've struck out trying to bunt....Chimp & Mac, I think he knows it's time to swing for the fences and open the check book which always seemed to get stuck in Foleys pocket...

Doubt it, Kelly's would do great here don't get me wrong, but i think he's kind of a risk. He's had the NCAA sniffing around him already for one and he wants to be in the NFL more than college. Couldn't see him sticking around long if he came.

Are you concerned that Frost is a guy who so far this year has passed only 42% of the time and last year passed only 46% of the time?

No, he scores a million points a game. I don't care how they're scored, as long as they're scored.

I thought you were supposed to mourn losing Butters for at least three days. Ya hoar.

Mac seems like a good dude and I’ve said that multiple times. He’s just not as good of a coach as I thought he was (and was led to believe). This year was make or break and to say it has broken is an understatement.

 

[Gatorraid81]

Frost is great...on paper. His heart though is with UNL (I know, don't write). We may just have forced Nebraska's hand into going for him. Read somewhere that all they would have to do is send Tom Osborne to ask and it's done.

What worries me is that if Frost signs on here, it will just be a quick stepping stone to UNL - just like the Head Esophagus did but minus the NCs.

We're a better job than Nebraska and he knows that. He can come here win his natty title or 2, then if he wants to go home, he can.

 

[alcoholica]

Tell me Frost wouldn't be intrigued by the job after watching this....I think I have it cued up to the right spot

 

[Gatorraid81]

I know I'll get roasted for this but I would prefer an offense where the QB lines up under center at least 50% of the time and not some zone read gimmick based shotgun offense. I'd much rather see a QB like Danny Wuerffel than Tim Tebow, I know that's heresy around here.

I don't care where the QB lines up, as long as the offense works is all that matters.

 

[Gatorraid81]

Charlie Strong with his young OC Sterling Gilbert have been putting up points at USF. The offense at UT with frosh QB Shane Buechele was quite good. Why not him? His defense at UT failed him. Offense was never an issue. Racist boosters at Texas did not want any part of him. In a few weeks Frost and Strong will duke it out to represent their division in AAC.

It'll be worth watching, that's for sure.

I'm just hackin on ya.

A good dude? How do you figure? He was always dishonest and arrogant. What exactly was it about him that screamed "good dude "? I can't remember him ever giving a straight answer on anything.

 

[Gatorraid81]

Should we email Stricklin to tell him to hire Frost? I think that will do the trick...

Hell, it's worth a try.

Please make it stop making new acronyms for established programs is tedious and unnecessary

 

[Gatorraid81]

I am starting to see Taggert's name thrown around A LOT in articles. Don't really know much about him and that would probably be a VERY underwhelming hire to say the least...

We're gonna read all kinds of BS over the next 4-6 weeks.

 

[Gatorraid81]

And I can't say it enough, the guy played at Mount Union. If there's any college football program at ANY level that knows the process to winning, it's them. He's even said that he pulled a lot of the same things they did at Mount into his coaching strategy at Toledo and ISU.

His buyout is 9 mil i read, do we pay that?
