Bobby Bowden went 5-6 first year at Florida State 

Joe Paterno went 5-5 first year at Penn State 

Florida State was the equivalent of a mid-major program in 1976.

But you're making my point for me.

Great coaches (or potentially great ones) don't go 2-10.

They might go 5-6 (at worst).

Dan Mullen is a better coach than Taggart so expect that to change in a year or two.

Maybe if he recruits hungry players like he did to get Mississippi State to overachieve

If he recruits those pampered players Florida usually gets then nothing will change 

Florida always goes after the players with a silver spoons in their mouth, probably why they lost 10+ players to suspension

 

Those players weren't used to being told no because they were type of players who their high schools let them walk on water

3 right there do i need to find more bc I'm sure i can

Again, you're giving me a bunch of guys that essentially went .500 in their first year.

Bowden went 10-2 in his second year at FSU.

He also went 42-26 at West Virginia before leaving for Florida State.

In other words, he didn't have a losing record.

So if he went 5-7 instead of 2-10 that would make him a good coach?

It doesn't guarantee anything but it's true of just about every great coach in college football history.

Lane Kiffin took over a program that was 9-27 in the previous 3 years.

He went 9-3 in the regular season in year 1 and after beating the piss out of Akron in the bowl game will have 11 wins.

That's great coaching.

What Willie Taggart has done in his career is mediocre.

Lou Holtz went 0-11 in first year at South Carolina in 1999

Went 8-4 in 2000

In the SEC.

And Lou Holtz won a conference championship or national championship at 4 different schools prior to taking the South Carolina job.

Oh, and he didn't have a losing record for his career.

He is going to have far more resources recruiting at fsu then at usf and will be in the most talent rich state in the nation 

His competition will have far more resources too.

And he coached in the most talent rich state while at South Florida and never won a conference championship.

Scott Frost took over an 0-12 team in the same state and same conference and he won a conference title in year 2.

And went 12-0.

That's what a potentially great coach does.

I think Frost has potential to be a great coach

Right, because he didn't have a losing record and he won a conference championship.

Both things that Taggart doesn't have.

Him winning a conference championship isn't what makes me think he has potential 

It's because he seems to be the type of coach who can build a team and get players to buy into his system

If he was that same guy and he was going 6-6 every year then it would be meaningless.

Getting kids to buy in only matters if it leads to success.

Records and conference titles show success.

It shows success sure but a coach isn't good just because he wins conference championships

The coach is getting players to buy into the system is the first step to winning championships 

Everyone has to start somewhere

Just winning a conference championship isn't enough 

Any halfway decent coach can take over good talent somewhere else and win (like 2 coaches in playoffs right now) it a totally different skill to keep them winning once your coaching all players that you brought in

Some coaches are winning with the previous coaches talent, those coaches i want to see do they keep winning once all players from their predecessor have graduated 

I know Scott Frost brought ucf from ground up so I'm not speaking about him specifically and i hope he does same turnaround at Nebraska because watching a proud program like them be in these mediocre bowls or no bowl every year is sad to watch, they should be competing each year for National titles

Something Taggart has never done.

You're boring me.

Winning conference championships is not sufficient but it's probably necessary.

Having a winning record is no sufficient but it's probably necessary.

Do you understand that?
