Willie Taggart demonstrated that he wasn't a very good coach when he couldn't keep Oregon afloat after the team's star QB, Justin Herbert, went down for five games with a broken collarbone. Oregon was 1-4 in that stretch before Herbert recovered.
Oregon's fans were quick to blame the sub QB, an inexperienced kid from Arizona named Braxton Burmeister, but the true story is that Taggart couldn't adapt the team's game to take advantage of the other talent on the team.
Taggart was a very bad and hopelessly lost coach without Herbert. At age 41, he still has time to learn how to coach, he just won't be doing it at Oregon.
That may not be a bad thing in the long run.
In the mean time, I hope he's considerate enough to write Justin Herbert a thank you note.
