Word from recruits was that he wasn't vague and that he was explicit in Oregon talk when confronted with FSU rumors. That is their beef right now. Saying up until the end he told them to go to Oregon and he had a vision fom them...then the communication with FSU came out and recruits are like
.
Current players even said he held a team meeting and told them not to worry, then later on held another team meeting where he cried and told them he was leaving. Players response was save your tears for people who aren't mad at you right now. Apparently players from Florida he brought over last year are pissed, and Lenoir has a deleted tweet where he said he basically was going to USC and it was Taggart who flipped him by selling a vision of him at Oregon. That is the dirty part of the game.
Coaches can leave, but players once they commit get screwed.
Taggart better make the most of FSU, really it should be a slam dunk, but if he flames out it will hurt his career far more than had he stayed at Oregon.
Also sounding like initial reports that Jim Leavitt is following him are premature.
He was one I figured might stay since he has Oregon family connections. Leavitt was lights out as a d coordinator last year, we need him. Just hope he isn't offended if he doesn't get the head coaching gig, since he does want to be a head coach again.
