I believe the announcers just love saying Jim Bob Cooter. I don't think I've ever heard a coordinator mentioned so much. :)

On a related note, the speculation about ESPN having some financial challenges seems rather odd considering that their parent company, Disney, is supposedly considering buying most of 21st Century Fox’s assets (studios, library, international distribution channels minus the sports and news divisions).

There again, maybe the tightening of belts at ESPN is a product of Disney’s attempts to expand in other areas.

Disney is making money. ESPN is losing money. That’s basically it.

I'm just not getting that fired up about Taggart personally. I've tried and it isn't happening.

If he had stayed at USF for another year he would be as big or a bigger name than Frost. Hard to judge a coach in year 1 when they get down to 3rd string QB by week 4 or 5.

Just because the parent is raking it in doesn’t mean they’ll fund a loser. They’ll cut and focus on markets with more prophet potential

They are moving away from carriers and going to stream everything. The Fox deal fits into that as well as ESPN downsizing. Non-sports fans don't want to keep paying for ESPN.

He got a decent scoop on the Kendrick story.

He’s a tool for sure but he can be a good journalist when he wants to. And a good journalist can cultivate sources when they need to.

I don't care for him or follow him, but he wrote a book about Fulmer's final year and his grandfather played at UT. I would bet that he some connections at UT. Are they big? I have no idea.,

But if you read his articles about Gruden, his whole argument is based in (logical) conjecture. He doesn't claim to have any sources close to the matter.
