Oregon has more money than any school because of Phil Knight. Its facilities are top of the line. It has enjoyed great success recently until this year.

Yet, look at Oregon's hire -- Willie Taggart. He had a 10-2 record at South Florida this season. His overall career mark is still below .500 at 40-45 in seven seasons at Western Kentucky and South Florida.

The Power 5 conference jobs are filled.

Oregon -- South Florida head coach Willie Taggart

Baylor -- Temple head coach Matt Rhule

Texas -- Houston head coach Tom Herman

Purdue -- Western Kentucky head coach Jeff Brohm

LSU -- Tigers defensive line coach/interim head coach Ed orgeron

That's 4 mid-major coaches and one assistant. No big-name, standing Power 5 five coaches get hired.
