Why has it been so quiet lately…I feel like since the season has ended there has been no communication about anything from the university. Why aren't our coaches talking about recruiting? Where is the statement from the admin about confidence in the coaching staff?Posted On: Nov 30th 2021, 5:08 PM #405610
Nothing really positive to say. The same reason our football program hasn't been highlighted in the "this week in FAU sports" emails I get.
Taggart took a 11-3 conference USA title team and torpedoed them to a 10-11 also ran program in his first two years. The guy is a black plague on programs. He has ruined all the momentum we built with kiffin and if the admins had balls , he'd be fired alreadyPosted On: Nov 30th 2021, 5:30 PM #405612
When the admin comes out and makes a statement about confidence in the coaching staff it usually means the exact opposite, otherwise there would be no need for the statement. Quietness is our friend right now.
WT gets one more year. The school needs our support to grow and succeed. Keep supporting. Trash talk and negative things against our own Coach only hurts the team. What do you think potential recruits think when they see negative stuff about our own coach?
Brian White and President Kelly won’t accept mediocrity. But if WT is to succeed then he will need our support, as will any coach here at FAU, the best darn school in the country.

I quite disagree. I think potential recruits are wondering as much as we are about the state of the program. National signing day is only a few weeks away, and without official confirmation about the status of the HC, they'll be reluctant. Recruits don't have to look at our pessimistic comments on here about the coaching…most of them probably have suspicions of it based on our jarringly bad performance over the past two seasons

I spoke with a number potential recruits who questioned me about the disparaging comments our own fans make about WT on social media. They said they were not so sure about him if that is what our fans think of him. Recruits’ parents definitely go on our twitter / facebook / instagram / owls nest and see what we have to say about him.
Admin giving some sort of “official confirmation” about the coach is usual one of the following:
- the coach is about to be fired.
- the coach is on the hot seat and that is immediately signaled to recruits and current players, none of whom would want to commit or stay (as the case may be) if they think the coach is about to be canned.
“Jarringly bad performance over the past two seasons”…. Oh man…. Where were you from 2010 through 2016 if you think this was “jarringly bad”? Bad, sure. But not bad when you consider the status of the roster and COVID since WT took over.

I really really wanted WT to be successful here. I also had a lot of confidence in his coaching because his record at USF/WKU truly fits the picture of a "program builder." But after painstakingly watching our team over the past two years, it has truly been jarring to me - why do we keep getting blown out by terrible programs under the WT era (ODU, MTSU, SMU, Georgia Southern)? And why is our offense consistently one of the worst in the country? We fired our co-OC last season, recruited a top tier P5 QB, returned 15 starters on offense and yet our offense looks just as bad as last year.
Because there are so many FBS teams in Florida, we have to strive for strong performance at all times otherwise we're falling behind our neighbors and stagnating as a program. Just look how far USF collapsed with Charlie Strong.

They are accepting mediocrity or worse by keeping taggart. I'm not going to lie or sugarcoat things. He's a garbage coach.
The recruits and parents can see the performance with their own eyes …it's been awful.

It would be more useful than taggart. Which taggart family member are you to not see how he's torpedoed the program ? Any person who went to Florida Atlantic should see it by now and want him out.
