That doesn't include Willie Taggart — he'll be 37 when South Florida kicks off next fall and it will be head coaching job No. 2 for him.

(AP) — Mal Moore's career was adrift. A quarter century of winning games and titles as an Alabama player and assistant to Bear Bryant had ended, and Moore was passed over to succeed the famed coach.
