Why do people not like Smart? Saban promoted Smart to DC and has done everything to keep Smart as his DC (has successfully done so for five years). Dooley was never promoted to a coordinators role. Smart will be a great head coach...either for UT or UGA.
There is a reason Sal had not been a DC since 1998 and 1999 at Alabama A&M.
And the Gruden talk is just pointless. That should be stopped. You shouldn't hope for that. You should hope for something realistic. If major media outlets aren't reporting it, it's not worth listening to.
2 problems, Taggart's probably not big time enough for the Boosters (in their eyes it would be similar to Dooley hire) and the 2nd ( just being brutally honest), he's black.
although, you could say he has a better resume than Stanford's David Shaw.
Taggart's been an OC (OC of a D-1AA national Champion) , QB coach, WR coach and RB coach.
ok...pray tell, what ARE the major media outlets reporting then?
Because last I checked, Chris Low confirmed that Gruden would be interested...
Unless my head is completely in the sand, I don't agree. I think the short list would include 3 black coaches(Strong, Taggart, and Shaw).
Bottom line, whoever we hire is likely to be more successful than Dooley.
Gruden
Strong
Smart
Patterson
Taggart
Tuberville
Petrino
McDaniels
