He inherited a lot of under the radar problems from how Jimbo left. And BC doesn't play Florida OOC every year.
I think the same way about Bielema, Butch Jones, etc. Any coaching hire outside of Urban has some risk, and think BC should look at entire body of work not just one stop.
I largely agree. I’m willing to look at a successful coach like Beilema, Jones, Golden, Schiano, Strong, Taggart, Moorhead, Sumlin, Kingsbury, etc and consider the reason(s) they failed in their previous spot. Many of the aforementioned inherited a mess where it was impossible to win at the level an insane fan base demanded. I find retreads by in large to be pretty safe options for a school like BC (Cutcliffe being the prime example at Duke). To be honest, I have no idea why Taggart didn’t work. I know FSU sucked balls Jimbo’s last season there. I recall feeling that TAMU hiring Jimbo was him getting the fuck outta Dodge while he could. These past two years have similarly felt like a continuation of that decline (10-3 to 7-6 to 5-7 to 4-5).
