Willie Taggert following his FSU squad getting throttled by Clemson:
The Tigers have now won four straight in the series, and this is the first Clemson senior class to go 4-0 against the Seminoles.
"I think mentally we're a weak football team and we're not mentally strong yet, and that's part of the culture to changing it to what you want," Taggart said. "We're going to find the guys that quit, and we're going to find the guys that kept playing and make sure that we keep those guys in there. So there will be some changes come next week."
Sound familiar? This is the kind of language Diaco used, and it's the kind of language Edsall has used. It serves them in that it absolves responsibility for the results, and it can buy you a solid two years before beginning to take any kind of accountability. Good coaches don't have to complain about culture and publicly shame their team and deflect from the staff's own performance.
