Willie Taggart addresses rumors of unhappiness at Oregon

November 19, 2017

Read

If Willie Taggart wants out of Oregon, he isn’t saying it publicly.

After an ESPN report intimated that Taggart was looking for an exit from the school after just a year in charge, the coach himself shot those reports down following a 48-28 win over the Arizona Wildcats.

Taggart re: ESPN comments about being unhappy at Oregon. “Do I look unhappy? … Winning is living baby, I’m happy.”

Taggart has been linked to the vacant Florida job, but he has downplayed those links as well. Despite the reports and rumors that have been flying, the former South Florida coach appears intent on sticking with the Ducks and building for the future there, at least for now.
