Tears Nole Tears (“Offcial”)

The guy stopped recruiting in September. UNC was the nail in the coffin. Remember him walking out on the field after contemplating life and fairy german snapped a picture of him? We would have caught some negative attention from media canning a couch winning 8 straight, but not anymore than the fiasco that happened with us courting Mario while Manny was still "employed."

Incel is literally short for “involuntary celibate”

I know we didn’t get any recruits in Sep - Nov, but did he really shut down or greatly diminish recruiting? Honest question...curious if some behind the scenes info had leaked.

Agreed. I'm tired of UM fans continuing to "thank" F$U for beating Manny, when we were already in contact with Mario in September.

Take a look at the firing of of Beta Blake and the hiring of Dan Radakovich. Take a look at everything that Mario has done and everyone that Mario has hired in the past 3 months. Compare what Manny would have done with money, considering that he did NOT spend money that was offered to him earlier. Consider how rapidly every element of UM Athletics has moved, including the hiring of brand new staff positions and new construction around Hecht. This was going to happen, regardless of the outcome of one game.

And if some people still think that one bad 2-minute defensive stand was the difference between hiring Mario and keeping Manny aboard for more mediocrity, then I don't know how to help them.

Well it’s a way to rationalize losing to that **** stain of a team

Just a thought… instead of focusing on whether or not it ended Manny why not ask the beneficial question, “Did the win buy Norvell more time?” Either potential byproduct of that horrid loss is a positive for us.

This is true. While I don’t think FSU was going to fire Norvell regardless of the outcome, the win took a little heat off. ****, they even extended him. The longer that loser is employed by them, the better.

See, now here is a person who thinks outside the box! I am VERY happy with Prison Mike getting some extra time to be particularly mediocre at his job.

Man, Dom Oates is borderline...is is still OK to say mentally challenged?

Career W-L record...let's delve into that, shall we?

Taggart - 66-73
---WKU (his alma mater) - ended a TWENTY-SIX game losing streak (20 consecutive losses in the two years before he was hired), so he obviously inherited a crappy team. Went 2-10, 7-5, 7-5 which is a total of 16-20. But this turnaround got him hired by USF.
---USF - inherited a team that went 8-16 in the two years before he was hired, so he inherited another crappy team. Went 2-10, 4-8, 8-5, 10-2 which is a total of 24-25. But this turnaround got him hired by Oregon.
---Oregon - inherited a team that went 13-12 in the two years before he was hired (though they were 4-8 the year before he was hired), so he inherited a mediocre team. Went 7-5. But this modest improvement got him hired by F$U.
---F$U (his dream job) - inherited a team that went 17-9 in the two years before he was hired (though they were 7-6 the year before he was hired), so the "Jimbo team" he inherited wasn't all that great, let's call it an above-average team. Went 5-7, 4-5 which is a total of 9-12. But this failure got him hired by FAU.
---FAU - inherited a team that went 16-10 in the two years before he was hired (though they were 11-3 the year before he was hired), so he finally inherited a team on the rise. Went 5-4, 5-7 which is a total of 10-11.

So if you really analyze things, Taggart has historically walked into a bad situation and tends to do better with "turnaround" projects where he remains in place for several years. It's true that he didn't do much at Oregon (1 year) or F$U (less than 2 years), but he did very well at WKU and USF. FAU is still "incomplete".

Nooooowwwww, let's take a look at Prison Mike. I've analyzed this one quite extensively in prior posts, so I'll sum up here.

Prison Mike Norvell - 46-28
---Memphis - if "Coach Dom Oates" wants to diminish Taggart for "inheriting a Jimbo team", I'm not sure why he doesn't diminish Prison Mike for "inheriting a Justin Fuente team", which is the AAC functional equivalent of inheriting a "Jimbo team". Memphis was 19-7 (and 19-6 if you don't count the last bowl game against Auburn after Fuente left for VaTech). in the two years before Prison Mike was hired. I have previously described how Prison Mike added ONE additional win, per year, to the Memphis 4-year running average compiled by Justin Fuente. Wow. Prison Mike didn't exactly take a sad song and make it better. He took a good team and made it marginally better.
---F$U - inherited an admittedly not-great Taggart team, and made it worse. Prison Mike has gone 3-6, 5-7 which is a total of 8-13. By all mathematical measures, this is "worse" than Taggart's record of 9-12. And if you project out the other 4 games Taggart didn't coach in 2019, his teams went 11-14. Which, again, is a better winning percentage at F$U than what Prison Mike has accomplished.

Sad.
