But anyway, my main point is getting lost here. Taylor was with UC during the 2016 season, by far the worst of the Tuberville era. When it became blatantly obvious to anybody paying attention that Tuberville just didn’t care (not to mention the Kiel fiasco, and he actually said in an interview that most teams would be happy with 2 or 3 wins at the halfway point of the season ). Anyway, whatever Taylor accomplished (or didn’t accomplish) during his time with UC is irrelevant.

I mean, I'd hope not many people are going to hang one year of college OC stats over his head, just like I'd hope they wouoldn't for the 5 games worth of film from his OC days with the Phins after our favorite OC Lazor was shit canned (where he did slightly worse than Lazor). Doesn't give me a big enough sample size IMO. I just want a leader of men, who can get them aligned to playing football the way it needs to be played as a HC. Plus, people grow and get better.
