Kind of interesting consequence for Taggart here. From what I'd heard, part of what impressed ADs so much about Taggart was his high-powered Oregon staff. It looks like he'll get barely any of the important coaches from Eugene.

As of today it looks like the 2 coaches who were USF legacies for sure to head to USF, maybe WR coach Johnson who was a Harbaugh referral to Taggart as a third to either Taggart OR Harbaugh, who last summer had already offered Johnson a job @ Michigan when the 10th coach addition seemed a sure thing. DL coach Joe Salave'a has informed players he is staying, so Ducks appear to have kept their top 4 behind Taggart: Cristobal, Leavitt, Arroyo, & Salave'a, plus the other two DB coaches were hires mostly provided by Leavitt, so most are assuming that they will stick as well.

Not nearly the disaster that was looming a week ago. That said, Ducks were certainly dominated by Boise State in their bowl game, but I'm not sure how to interpret that, as I was dead wrong on the game prediction. So, maybe a one off like Chip Kelly's ugly loss to Boise in his opening game as UO head coach; or, the first awkward effort of a Mora level crew who may only be OK.

BTW, seems Taggart is well networked, particularly with the Harbaugh family so I think there's a good chance he  ends up pulling together another high end staff @ FSU. Always fun to follow that stuff too.
