Canzano: Oregon Ducks coach Willie Taggart nailed it -- dead, solid, perfect
Have you ever seen someone miss a two-foot putt? I have. I've missed a gimme (or three) myself. So on Friday when Oregon Ducks football coach Willie Taggart formally dismissed Darren Carrington for the DUII he was charged with I didn't roll my eyes and say, "Well, sure, that was an easy one."
If Carrington were a young Taggart recruit, say from Florida, playing in his first season of college football, would flushing him have been a more difficult move?
Sure. So would performing headstand on hot pavement. But Taggart got the move that faced him right. Nailed it. Dead. Solid. Perfect. I've seen coaches with more experience and lower stakes botch easy moves like this.
