Message: [QUOTE="Lou_C, post: 2690550, member: 3201"] I don't see Taggart getting less than three years, unless he goes like 1-11, 2-10. You guys saw that line. That's not fixed by next year, let alone in the next couple games. You don't turn an O-line wasteland around in a year. There's nothing there. In the BEST case scenario, your true freshmen have some potential, but there are no superstars there. Even if Willie is not the guy...why pay two coaches for the next 2-3 seasons of suckitude? Makes no sense. And while he won't be able to recruit as well as he potentially could given the disastrous season, he's still going to recruit better than almost anyone could in the situation. There are definitely things that concern me. Not the record really, I don't see that being any different under Jimbo this year. Him leaving voluntarily seems to obscure the fact in a lot of peoples' minds that this team really sucked last year, was a losing team under Jimbo, and was very fortunate to go bowling. Things had gotten very, very bad. We had coaches not talking to each other, fighting, etc. I am concerned mainly that the EXTENT of problems seem to have been as big a surprise to the staff as it is to everyone else. I guarantee you that this staff thought they would be better than this...no just hoped they'd be better, but really thought this offense would be better. Reports out of camp was that the offense was destroying the defense, and we've seen than the defense is actually really pretty great all things considered. But I'm worried that this staff misevaluated their team so utterly completely that they worked on the wrong things, installed parts of the playbook that were not optimal, etc. At this point, I'm kind of hoping the best we can see is to take our lumps this year and try to win 3-4 games. Then next year get back to around .500, and then we get to see what Willy can do three years in. If we get back to 8-9 wins in 2020 and trending up, then I think he's good. If he's still putting up a 6 loss season in year three, then the change comes. [/QUOTE]
