He is what his record says he isAgain, sorry, no. I’m sure he’s a decent guy. Most great recruiters are. But we need a definitive winner. And he’s simply shown nothing to imply that he is.
I have no opinion on Taggart myself but saw his recruiting seemed to be real good. I don't want Strong or Mullen here I know that.
When will people learn. I run a tight ship here. Rules are enforced. Mordor shall not be mentioned.I'm not advocating that Willie Taggert be hired, but he deserves to be on any list of potential candidates....what I don't get about many Gator Fans is they have in their mind 1-2 people who they think we should hire and if someone else gets the job or is even considered, they automatically hate the person.....Of all the candidates mentioned, the only one that I would 100% not support is Lane Kiffen.....I'm not a fan of Dan Mullen but I would support him if hired.....
Looking at just his record is equivalent to other teams looking at Mac's record and wondering why we fired him. The record alone doesn't tell the whole story as he has taken over rebuilding projects and improved them all. He is an awesome recruiter and his offenses have been explosive. Kelly didn't get top 10 classes to Oregon and Taggart currently has a top 5 class. He may not end up being a championship coach but we would be much better off when his time is up.

This is good to know afterall UF never has a QB injury.
If we can't pull Frost from Neb or certainly from UCF we have a huge problem inside the program. We SHOULD have people lined up for the job but somebody or bodies have thrown this FB program to the dumpster trying to show how important ALL of UF athletics is as opposed to making sure the cash cow of college athletics stays strong and King of the Hill. I remember how much everyone not affiliated with football in UAA hated SOS because of all the attention FB was getting. Looks like they are winning out now and probably laughing at how football is struggling while all the "womens" sports are flourishing. VB, SB, Gymnastics, etc. Maybe I am venting and that was a long time ago but thats my gut feeling. It's like they can't be happy being good all by themselves, football has to be struggling so they can feel vindicated. Feel free to poke holes in my theory.
