College Coaching Carousel - Version 2017

... and his wife who reasonably despises Wacky Waco!

While it did not see much discussion, I thought the idea of Taggert taking a big step up from USF to Oregon and then moving on to FSU after just one mediocre year was rather unique. To me it was back to back step ups after solid, but not stellar performances.

Now can Matt Rhule do the same, all while have a much worse first year record at Baylor?

Taggert certainly had a wild and professionally fruitful 13 months. It will be stunning to me if Rhule pulls off the same trick.

The difference is that Rhule walked into a situation doomed for failure. Baylor is a tire fire, and he'll be smart to not hitch his wagon to that for longer than he has to

Well - none of that was a surprise going in. He took on the challenge and the money.

I’m just a little surprised that both Teggart and Rhule could rise so quickly over thirteen months and doing so despite middling performances at their stepping stone situations, neither of which situations were anything to scoff at in their own right.

Slightly different, but not entirely dissimilar from Bill O'Brien's brief Ped State sojourn before heading off to the NFL ...

Not Ash’s first choice but not so sure it was a bad call based on reasoning and relationships: John McNulty, hired for 2nd Rutgals' OC stint
One-time UConn WR coach (1995–97).

Now in Storrs, will ex-UConn OC/current LA Tech OC Todd Fitch or UNH OC Ryan Carty be candidates?

Exactly what I was thinking.. taking one of Rutgers now former applicants..

Sounds like, "hey, guys, I got passed over for the Colts job, so I'll be staying in Wac(k)o another year, unless U of AZ calls and then, well, you know how much I love the desert and Bearing Down. But we are all in this together, so let's go get a 2d win next year!"

Would you be happy with this hire? How poorly could the Lashlee interview have gone?

John McNulty (American football) - Wikipedia

Years ago, our fellow Rutgers fans (our peers ... then) used to rave about McNulty. I think that was more about his recruiting Productivity because I never thought their offense was all that innovative or explosive. This is about a KNOWN quality guy to the Raritan bunch. A TE position coach doesn't easily get a P5 Coordinator job.
 
Lane Kiffin just hired 24 year old Charlie Weiss Jr. as FAU's new OC. He was seeking a "distinct schematic advantage".

In fairness, it's like being Belichek's DC. You really think CW2 will be doing the play calling so Lane can focus on the broader picture?
