There have been a lot of bad firings this year IMO.
Taggart inherited a rebuilding job similar to the one Pruitt inherited, but got canned after 1.5 years. Morris did poorly, but he also inherited talent that was totally unsuited for his own offense and needed at least 3-4 years to conceivably succeed. Luke was the sacrificial lamb at Ole Miss; no coach was going to succeed there under probation, but Luke actually did a reasonable job. Odom got dealt a bad hand with Mizzou on probation.
Meanwhile, the coach that most deserves to get fired (Muschamp) gets to stick around for another year. Muschamp has inherited two programs in good shape and managed to turn them both into losing programs.
Charlie Strong deserved to get the ax. He ran the program that Willie Taggart built up into the ground.
Kiffin will definitely get a look somewhere; maybe Arkansas or Florida State. Norvell is about to get a big raise regardless of whether he stays or goes.
I think Taggart is a very good coach who got screwed over at FSU. Good chance South Florida rehires him.
Why does Charlie Strong keep getting jobs?? For the life of me I can’t figure it out.
