Good for him. The Harbaugh tree has done fairly well.

 

[Shavers48]

God for him. The Harbaugh tree has done fairly well.

with that kind of backing, how can he lose??

 

[Oldtrainer_rivals]

If so, good for Willie and good for Oregon. Now If he wants hope Charlie Strong gets USF job.

Lol. Missed an "o." But, the statement may still be true.

 

[Beatle Bum]

Now If he wants hope Charlie Strong gets USF job.

That would really make sense.

 

[JasonS.]

Awesome, good for him.

Lots of bigger names being tossed around obviously, but there were people saying a month ago that Taggart was Oregon's top choice.

 

[mtn cat1]

Good for Willie, he should be an interesting hire for that lackluster conference!!!

 

[Beatle Bum]

Willis bringing a new style to the O.

 

[BlueVelvetFog]

More beans, Mr. Taggart?

 

[Jon(-24)]

Kind of shocking, but he's a good coach, just doesn't have the profile I'd have figured Oregon could have grabbed. He should get them back to top 10 soon.

 

[Crankdatmustard_rivals66299]

If I were an Oregon fan I would be pretty pissed off with this hire.

I'd say you'd had enough!

 

[C.W.1]

A lot of speculation on Charlie Strong to USF. What assistant coach would want to work for Strong, however?

 

[Shavers48]

If I were an Oregon fan I would be pretty pissed off with this hire.

his Stanford/Harbaugh connection will carry him. of all the names out there he seemed to be the fav of the blogosphere

 

[JasonS.]

Obligatory video clip.

 

[Glenn Fohr]

I think you boys have had enough!!

Well done Willie...very good coach and program builder.

It was only a matter of time before he started to ping on the big radars.

Who do the Bulls go after? Kiffin?

Word is Houston is hesitant because they don't want Lane to bounce in a couple years...

 

[akaukswoosh]

Good for him. The Harbaugh tree has done fairly well.

Overall, I agree. I just dont know about this year. This may be the best they could do. I like Taggert as a program builder. Just not sure how he'll do at a job where building isnt required. Just alot different.

 

[NCukcat62]

Obligatory video clip.

My god I hope joker never comes here again

 

[Cawood86_rivals]

Kind of surprising, but big time for him to get that job. Plenty of money and support at Oregon. Hope he does well.

 

[Randy Bob]

Sad that WKU is a stepping stone, but its all about money..

 

[TeoJ]

He has done a hell of a job at USF after a slow start.

 

[UKcats#1]

That's great news for Willie. He is a good job. It's ashame that WKU can't keep a good coach.

 

[ukfan03]

Pretty good hire by Oregon. I had a feeling this would be their guy when I looked at the candidates.

 

[bthaunert]

Being an Oregon fan, I watched a lot of his press conference today and they have some great pictures of Willie touring the facilities for the first time. I think he is going to do great things there.

Prediction here. Hometown kid Justin Herbert will win the Heisman and help Willie lead the Ducks to the CFP in the next 3 years.

 

[Glenn Fohr]

Does Cholly go to USF now?

 

[PhattyJ4UK_rivals309166]

Why people acting like WKU lost coach. Confusing me.

 

[Beatle Bum]

If Strog does not get USF job, Taggart wants him at Oregon.

Did Jeff Brohms son actually coach the team?

Ahh forgot. Thread being about taggart and post work party favors...

WKU was 1AA about 5 minutes ago, there's nothing wrong with being a stepping stone at this point.

 

[Jared1985]

A risky hire imo.

He spent 2 years failing MISERABLY at South Florida because he was too stubborn to realize the Stanford style power offense wasn't going to work with the level of players he had, so he hired a new OC who installed a no huddle spread offense and had an immediate turn around the last 2 years.

Apparently he only made the OC change after being threatened with being fired.

It always makes me question a coach who wasn't smart enough to figure out those issues after being hired.
