Pete leaving and Smith being promoted to head coach with playcalling duties would be great.
Taggart leaving for Florida State, collapsing your recruiting class and all program momentum, and handing us Treshaun on a silver platter would be great. Please and thank you.
Coaching changes don't always collapse recruiting classes. UW fans just see it that way, but it didn't actually happen here when TW or Sark left. Neither of those assholes bothered recruiting their last season leaving the new guy to start from scratch (Pete succeeded, Sark did not).
This isn't the case at Oregon. They have the resources to get a good staff quickly, and the new staff would have a good core of commits to work with. They'd lose a few but their class would be fine.
The win for UW would be long term. The FLA kids would bail on them this year, but long term UW is still competing for that core of commits you're talking about.
