Taggart can't make adjustments. He's an idiot. And his players take on the idiocy by being unprepared and playing like bone heads.GeorgiaOwl said
Bottom line which has been a problem under Taggert, we have to play FOUR (4) qtrs. of good football, not 3 or worse, sometimes only 2. This is why I wondered how we would after a halftime lead, even with some mistakes, which any team will suffer.
But again, we got DOMINATED for first 20 min. of 2nd half! NOT prepared mentally or adjustment wise once again. This has GOTTA change and to me the BIGGEST difference between Taggert and Lane. Is Willy just TOO easygoing or get satisfied with a lead???
NO lead was big enough to satisfy Lane, a REAL killer instinct!

I got blasted by that jg guy who is gone now saying I'm just an FSU homer and Taggart wasn't the issue. Well I tried to warn everyone how awful of a hire this guy was. Good to see most have finally got on board by now
The worry I have is we go 7-5 and this moron gets another year. Cusa sucks in the mid to bottom.
FAU can lose to every competent team:. Wku, uab, Purdue and ucf and go 7-5
But really does beating UTEP, fiu, middle Tennessee, rice and north Texas seem all that impressive?
If that scenario happens and he saves his job, he will do so just because of a soft schedule
And we will waste another year next year !!!

I'm with ya. Never liked the hire from day one.
WT may be a good recruiter but I've always felt he doesn't know how to recruit a team....just good players. Furthermore, he doesn't know how to coach them up.

He's not even a great recruiter. He's been getting guys who failed out of p5 schools or failed to crack the 2 deep at these schools. Sure they have fancy p5 school names next to their profile , but there are reasons they didn't make it. Most are bad players
His recruiting out of high school has been mediocre at best. That's how you build a good solid non power 5 team.

Willie Taggart in the ACC, Past FSU Performance, and as a Coach - FAU Owl's Nest
Please keep this thread on topic about the Ohio game.
Back to that…
Just got off the weekly call and we had four starters basically out for the game on defense.
Two broken hands, one tore up leg, and another undisclosed that happened pregame. The second string was basically playing most of the game at key positions and some third string.

The very first post said we should have hired a good young coach and said we shouldn't have hired Taggart. So it is on topic. There doesn't have to be just one total thread where we can talk about how much he sucks.

Going back to the 2019 coaching search who would you have hired?

It's all you talk about, five posts now all the same statement for all intents in purposes.

I mean if you want to ban people for talking about real thoughts on the team then you don't want a serious website and you just want homerism
The coaches didn't make adjustments in a game they were in control of vs a team way less talented. Ohio u went 3-9 playing in the Mac last year. That's a game FAU has to win. And the bad coaching played a huge part in them not doing so
That's an observation on the OU game which is what this thread is about. If you want positive thoughts only and ignore the other stuff, you don't want objective viewpoints on the performance

Not a retread who has failed multiple places and only had Flowers as a saving grace for a year at usf.
I would have hired Kendall Briles over him or another young offensive mind.

In the 2nd half, we should have spread them out and used the speed advantage since the oline couldnt open enough holes. Once desperation mode hit down 17 at 41-24, they went to that more. Too little too late and we saw what FAU could do when running those plays.
They have to do a better job of making adjustments right away and finding an opponents weakness. I mean one drive we literally ran up the middle 3 straight times and got stuffed each time. That's unacceptable

Actually i want people to participate in an educated discussion and follow the site rules.
None of your posts have anything to do with anything about the team but do exhibit repetitive disdain for Taggart.
But it doesn't matter what I want. Multiple people have sent personal communication about your posts, so it's become an issue I must address.
Either follow the rules of the site so everyone can enjoy the experience they came for without flooding or you're gone.
It's not my choice, it's yours.
That's it.
