Oregon might just want him to come asap to start recruiting and staff building.

I would also imagine the USF AD isn't thrilled he's spent the past 2 seasons watching Taggart interview elsewhere and would be fine parting ways immediately.

Phil Knight probably has the final say, altogether

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- South Florida co-offensive coordinator T.J. Weist will lead the 25th-ranked Bulls in the Birmingham Bowl following coach Willie Taggart's departure to Oregon. Weist, completing his first season at USF, shared offensive coordinator duties with Darren Hiller.

Weist will serve as interim coach the rest of the season, which concludes with a Dec. 29 matchup against South Carolina in the Birmingham Bowl.

- was also an interim HC at Conn for final 8 games of 2013 season, 3-5 record.
