A week long search has come to an end. On Tuesday, ESPN was first to report that the Oregon Ducks hired University of South Florida Head Coach Willie Taggart. It is an intriguing move.
Taggart brings a Spread Offense mentality, with a few tweaks to a Pac-12 team that needs a tweak or two moving forward. He has a proven record with rebuilding both Western Kentucky and USF into better programs and he has West Coast coaching experience.
Willie Taggart was the Running Backs coach for Jim Harbaugh at Stanford and led the charge for Toby Gerhart in his Senior Season.
