What new program coach inherited the biggest **** $Show?

I agree, Nebraska
I have a hard time believing there is no talent on that FSU roster. Even Arkansas is grateful they didn’t hire Taggart.

Taggert has a ton of talent but there’s some bigtime problems and cancer in the locker room I think.
of course there is a double whammy here. what **** show made things just as bad or worse by who they hired?
A month ago I'd have said Herm Edwards at ASU, but that has been proven wrong. It is probably Taggart. Pruitt is in over his head. So is and so is Dan
Frost, Kelly willl be successfull eventually. Probably Sumlin too.
I think biggest issue is expectations (past success vs. present landscape). Nebraska will never be what it was, nor will UT. They can both be really good, but their geography limits them more today than it used to. UCLA will get talent. Kelly had players in place at Oregon that already fit his system. Given time, I think they will be a strong Pac-12 team. Arizona isn't that good and I personally don't see Sumlin as much more than an OC. I think he wasted TONS of talent at ATM. Jimbo will benefit from all the talent Sumlin recruited. I think ******* will do well at UF, but they may still be unhappy if he doesn't go undefeated with 10 blowout wins. People underestimate the role that the patience of MSU played in his turnaround here. I don't think Oregon will ever be what they were aside from a year or two every so often where they win 10 or so games. Nike uni's aren't as big of a deal anymore since everyone is doing it. FSU has tons of talent. Heck, Ackers is a stud and they have athletes all over the place. Taggart just can't make the best use out of what he has. Like Lombardi said, blocking and tackling. Neither of those are important to Taggart it seems.
The biggest dumpster fire I see is U-Pig. Morris is over his head I think. As we know, SEC West is tough, and gimmicky offenses don't work well. This is another case of the fanbase having unrealistic expectations.
I remember when Mike Gundy took over at Oklahoma State and he said something about the first step in a rebuild was to make bowl games consistently, which allows for more practice and helps with recruiting. Much of the problem is that many want a rebuild to happen in one season. It doesn't happen overnight. It took Saban a bit to get Bummer straightened out, and the same with Smart at UGA. Coaches don't typically leave a loaded roster like what JOMO inherited (or smart for that matter). As long as programs but "Win now" as the mentality with rebuilds, it's just going to keep repeating itself.
As much as we don't want to say it, I'm thankful that the string of Byrne, Stricklin, and Cohen seem to be able to block out the yelling of fans and alumni and have given coaches time to develop things.

Taggart was in over his head at Western Kentucky and he’s quickly made his way into the deeper end of the pool.
Pruitt has a bad situation at UT. There is some talent there but they have expectations that they will never reach. They have recruited well but obviously have not developed the talent they brought in. Then they have to play Bama and Georgia every year so they have no chance of winning the East any time soon.
From seeing interviews he looks to be very unqualified. Pretty telling that he is the best UT could do.

What? A&M got worse the longer Sumlin was head coach, so what makes you think Sumlin will be successful? He's taken a running QB at Arizona who was a Heisman candidate and made him a pocket passer that just won their 1st game against an 0-3 FCS team. Sumlin is **** and this is probably his last dog and pony show.
I totally disagree about Nebraska. The Big 10 West is a complete ****-show every year. This division makes the SEC East look like damned batting order for the 27 Yankees. Nebraska's division is Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Northwestern, Purdue, & Wisconsin. Somebody has to win this garbage division every year and be one game away from the college football playoff. You could make a good argument that Whiskey has not been that good the last 5 years - they just look good in that ****** division. Nebraska will produce lineman & there are opportunities for them to recruit the west coast & Florida for skilled position players. There is no reason that Nebraska cannot win 8-10 games annually. Leaving the Big 12 damaged their recruiting profile (Dallas & Houston), but Scott Frost can win big at Nebraska. They will struggle to win a Natty, but he can be a perennial top 15-20 program.
Simple, he’s now in a conference that doesn’t care about defense. He will have more resources than he had at Houston to find the next hot qb.
Nebraska will never be quite what it was. Not saying they can never become a successful or even championship program again, but they'll have to take a whole new approach to get there. They should give Frost a long time and not put pressure on him to deliver immediate results.
I think it's a tie between UCLA and Tennessee for worst shape. Chip Kelly will have the NCAA breathing down his neck and Pruitt has to fight for immediate relevancy in the most competitive league.

Trick Question. Not listed, but Matt Luke inherited the biggest pile of crap you could fathom. Nobody else would touch it. Imagine how bad it's going to be next year. Everyone else should improve, even FSU... OM will get considerably worse in years 2-3. Dead man walking.
