Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLII

[DD4ME]

Not that i am buying into Taggart, but he sounds a lot like Jimmy Johnson. Not the greatest coach in the world, but can evaluate talent/recruit...and surrounds himself with really good assistant coaches.

Aka an actual head coach

 

[BJHSVol]

Frost has dominated most of his competition in year 2. Taggert's best years from what I've seen is 8-5. We already have that.

10-2. They also inherited vastly different programs

 

[VolSummitt44]

I agree was supporting what you were saying. I would be ok with Taggert but not impressed. I think him being an AAHC helps recruiting.

Lol, my bad. Gf is trying to make me watch Madea Halloween movie so I'm not at my best at the moment.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

If you cannot beat him with recruiting straight up you need a better QB. Manziel, Newton, etc.

With good coaching Dobbs beats him in 2015

 

[VolGee4]

This is the main reason I like Gruden. Recruiting. Get a couple NFL assistants and basically sell guys on UT being the NFL satellite camp.

If they give Gruden $7 million+ for his staff, look out.

 

[IhateGA]

I don't really understand the love for Taggert.

He had 11 last year at USF and would have gotten there again this year had he not left for Oregon.

You're right 10-2. I'm not sure on the inheriting vastly different programs.

Let’s get this done. Gruden and that staff can turn us into what Bama is. I fully believe that. NFL factory plus championships. Saban retires early so as not to tarnish his legacy because he has to play TN twice to get to the playoff!

We’re over here saying dang it, we have to play Bama twice. I want Saban saying dang it, we have to play Gruden and those Tennessee Volunteers twice to have a chance. I want fans dreading playing us, striking it down as an automatic loss. Bring me Gruden!

You were 70% Gruden to UT this afternoon.

I guess I need to spell it out that it sounds likely if Gruden took another job.

 

[Chief Vol 13]

From a pure recruiting standpoint I don't think we could hire anyone who would recruit better than Gruden and his staff. I'd guess that we'd be pulling a top 5 class more years than not. Totally agree with Larry when he says we need to be right there with UGA and Bama in recruiting. It'd be one thing if those two schools recruited at an elite level but weren't developing that talent, but that isn't the case.

 

[BJWeeks]

I don't really understand the love for Taggert.

I don't either. He is a .500 coach

 

[DD4ME]

Whoever we hire it would be nice to see players legitimately developed. What I do like about the names mentioned tonight is they all have penchant for that.

Potentially

This. I hope Gruden uses that plus his connections to build a bench of guys with NFL and champion credentials that all recruits have to take note of.

 

[Nashvegas31]

We expect all those assistants to follow Taggart back across the country? That's hard to fathom but I guess they'd have to move on anyway.

Most would. Cristobal and Leavitt would for sure.

Raheem Morris come on down

 

[LotteryPick]

The guy has taken over a bad situation with every job.

That 1 loss USF team is built by Taggart.

He lost Herbert (who is a very, very good QB) at Oregon when they were 4-1.

He's really good.

 

[DD4ME]

Raheem Morris come on down

And rumored Mike Waufle (DL) that won a SB ring with Giants.

Just don’t give him a playbook

 

[Chief Vol 13]

I don't think there's any doubt that Gruden would attract one of the top 2 or 3 best staffs in CFB. Add that in with a couple top 5 recruiting classes and things are gonna get turnt.

Will be epic to see who he assembles.

Thought of him the other night when he mentioned him on broadcast. If he were to go college route, Zook would be a good on to have come with to help
