This is the perfect time to start a new quarterback. It’s almost an entirely new coaching staff that didn’t recruit any of the current quarterbacks on the roster.
The reason Willie Taggart had to start Deondre Francois and James Blackman in subsequent years was because he was unable to attract prep quarterbacks or quality graduate transfers.
The fact he got hired in such a short time frame in December 2017 did hinder his ability to be successful there.
His offense being absolutely terrible in 2018 made it even more difficult to land a graduate transfer after missing on the aforementioned Sam Howell.
