Smartest Guy in the Room
I admit when the news broke that Willie Taggart had been hired as our new head coach, I wasn't totally enthused by it. However, without playing a single down he has turned me into a believer.
The man seems to know the one key to success that all great leaders know....surround yourself with the best. His hires he has made so far (both officially and those that are rumored to be a done deal) are nothing short of masterful, for many reasons. Not only is he getting guys who are objectively near the top of their profession in terms of coaching ability (Leavitt, Salave'a, Cristobal, etc), but they bring the added dimension of being well known and effective recruiters. Additionally, their recruiting ties/bases are spread out, from Florida, to SEC country, to the West coast and the Poly islands.
Regardless of where this year's class checks in rankings wise, WT has laid the foundation for future success, most likely sooner rather than later. Oregon football's future looks bright!
Go Ducks!

Taggart put together a better group of assistants than what were there before minus Coach Cam, who was retiring anyway. This staff will recruit much better than the staff before them as well.
I have yet to see anything that suggests Willie manages games like a fuck head, but he really hasn't coached many big games.
As of now Willie gets a passing grade for Phase 1. The rest is LIPO.
Especially under Sark
I do disagree with Moss on the percentage of importance of game management. It much higher than 5%. Sark did some of the other shit well, but not as great at recruiting as his press, but he was shit on Saturday.
We just had a reminder of that
Will he continue turning D's around? If so, I'm thinking / hoping he's gone soon to be a HC. Much of the D might bounce with him. The D side moves look good on paper but it also reads like a short term solution.
...and if the turn around doesn't happen, swoosh is gonna let heads roll. To keep it in the family, 49rers Chip style. Can't get too far away from winning otherwise the gear test market is in jeopardy. Need more than just die hards reppin at this point.
Potentially unrealistic expectations have been set, Mariota was a once a generation talent and Sarks was a bitch for not landing him.
If your talking about fan reactions then fine. every fan base has its jerks... If your talking about the coaches themselves, other than hiring assistants, which is part of the job, what exactly are the similarities between the two?
Seven was never a head coach before THE DUB, out drank and out sexed his players and gave them a week off during the season. There's no indication these two will run similar programs.
LIFPO
Willie was hired, thanked everyone and made it perfectly clear the previous staff had gotten lazy as fuck and the head coach was a pussy. To be able to say that publicly, tell the players publicly to work hard or GTFO, and hiring a staff that on paper appears to be as good as any in the region looks nothing like Sark.
Another thing that is very telling is there are Duck players posting on the twatters that the new strength coach has them sore and worn out. Bowl season is just ending and these guys have been in college for a few years. In no way should their lifting program be kicking their ass this time of year. It's another indication that the football program from absolute top to bottom was a fucking mess.
The only difference between the two is Taggert is really serious about weeding out those snakes.
Where?
You might wanna try Fishduck or addicted to quack or some other shit hole. Seems to be more your speed.
Fill me in, Was it at El Camino?
