EastCoastFan Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Rumors all over the place. Will this happen? If so, what direction will the Ducks take?

glduck Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 no one knows. everyone has an opinion, but today he met with our top qb recruit on his way to go take a meeting w/ fsu officials. per the recruit, he talked mostly about oregon but he was open that he was on his way to meet fsu. thankfully for us, the recruit also said he's sticking with oregon regardless of whether or not taggart is around. there's a million different reports out there, but the one that *seems* to have the most traction is that fsu thought they could get taggart on the cheap, given that fsu is his dream job. apparently that is not so, and they'll have to beat oregon's improved extension. that's why, reportedly, we're on day four of this thing and it's not over and done with.

glduck Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 as for what we'd do if he did leave, the length of this saga has at least afford the UO enough time to come up with some contingency plans. nothing will be best-case scenario, but it is what it is. there are few outside hires i think would do really well here. i've said before that i really like jeff brohm. he'd be a tough sell for fans (i can't imagine he moves the needle one iota) but fans would love his offense once they see it.

All Hail Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 So, it appears that if the money is right, Taggart is FSU bound and Oregon is preparing for exactly that scenario. I'd still put money on Taggart leaving (just my gut feeling) but it's definitely a coin flip in regards to the evidence currently out there.

glduck Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 it worries me that sumlin has yet to accept that ucf offer that seemed like a slam dunk a few days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks GL. What a weird situation. Seeing duck fans turn on Willie to some degree feels like husky fans after Neu interviewed for the 49ers way back when. Not sure that was ever fully repaired. Do we know what the improved extension is? Has that been reported? Hail, this was your comment in the other thread: unlikely that Oregon negotiates against itself and increases its own extension offer without a competing offer from FSU. Is that what Oregon did here?

glduck Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 not to take the word of a blogger, but IF this is true, that’s it for taggart, no? can’t see why you’d cancel a visit on a recruit just to come home if you’re sticking around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoastFan Posted December 5, 2017 Author Share Posted December 5, 2017 If it comes down, is Sumlin then the best choice? What are his pros and cons for Eugene? What names would be on the list of other options? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBug708 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Why do people switch follows lile that at this time? Recruits do the same drama filled things. All because people will follow them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, but playing for them can't give them that much insight alone. He must have a brother inside the AD or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickydlck Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Isn't the damage pretty much done at this point? No doubt he may not leave but seems very heavy flirtation that may impair some relationships going forward. Almost seems like he has to sign with FSU now.
