In Taggart's first press conference as the Ducks new head football coach, one thing that jumped out at me that definitely showed how different he is from Helfrich is that Taggart doesn't cover his comments in "coach speak". Also when asked a question, he gave a direct unvarnished answer, but not in the way Kelly did it with a hint of condescension. When asked about his defense, Taggart's reply was what you see in the quote above. That gives fans some insight into his approach. He didn't talk about schemes or comparing this team's defense to another team's defense, or say he'd like to be like Alabama's defense. He said he doesn't want or make excuses, and that he needs good players, and that he would recruit nationally because Oregon is a program competing for national championships. He was also right that Oregon has significant resources to help him go out and sell the program to get the best recruits that fit his system and the best coaches that can be mentors to those players.
