This is something you don’t really see every day, especially this close to the start of summer camp and a new season.
A month or so prior to the start of that camp, Thayer Evans of SI.com is reporting, USF head coach Willie Taggart has an unexpected hole on his coaching staff, with special teams coordinator and tight ends coach Stu Holt reportedly leaving for a job at Appalachian State. Just what position Holt will assume for the Sun Belt Conference member has yet to be confirmed, although the Mountaineers do have a need for a running backs coach.
Neither USF nor ASU have announced any changes to their respective coaching staffs.
Holt has been with the Bulls the past two seasons, first as just the special teams coordinator before adding tight ends coach to his job description for this past season. He also held the title of Director of Player Personnel in 2013. For the two years prior to that, he was on Taggart’s staff at Western Kentucky.
Given how late in the offseason this occurred, it’s very likely Taggart, like Wyoming, will split up Holt’s responsibilities among those currently on his staff and search for a permanent repalcement at the end of the 2015 season.
