Smh.  Well, Looks like Marshall was smart with their timing of poaching Guidry.  Very Disappointing to lose a great coach like Leavitt, especially to another G5 program.

SMU has deep pockets. I am sure there is a pay upgrade.

This will be 6th DC in as many years.

Good news we have a ton of seniors returning.

Experience will help any new DC.

Yes I know the history and background of smu and the huge difference in financial support between us and them.  Was  hoping Jim would settle into Boca and create some longevity on that side of the ball for us for once.  Leavitts getting to old to continue being a Nomad coach.  Lol.

We bragged a lot about fsu paying Taggart a lot of his salary.    That was a huge red flag with me saying that we don't have the money to get the best hires.  

Now we lost a great dc to another g5. Another bad sign

And yes it is bad timing to have marshall take a guy who could have got a promotion

Watch Taggart promote woodie to dc and hire another former assistant to take his spot

We need an experienced DC I hope we don’t go back to hiring the Tony Pecaros and Roc Ballantonis of the world

This is a huge loss for the program, especially with the solid players we are expecting to return.  I agree, I hope we hire an experienced DC.  Let’s hope we find a solid hire like we found Spencer.

This worries me. I think we will find out a lot about Taggart next year.

Did Keith Heyward already take that job at Cal?

If you don’t promote kevin patrick you run the risk of him leaving as well. His salary is not that big. Smu could probably double it.

Defense is immensely talented. It’s more about these players than it is the coach. They’ve performed great the past few years under different DCs.

I agree! Glenn spencer is the brunt of a running joke at oklahoma state but he came here and did well. We are loaded on defense!
