导出博客文章USF coach Willie Taggart and Boise States Bryan Harsin interviewed with Oregon
athletic director Rob Mullens in the Dallas area on Friday, according to a
source.Taggart has a big-name proponent in his corner in former NFL coach Tony
Dungy, who said he spoke to Oregon officials on Taggarts behalf. Dungys son,
Eric, played at Oregon from 2010-13 before transferring to USF for his final
season in 2014.I certainly think hes a good fit, Dungy said. I had a chance to
watch him coach a year when my son played there. I liked his style. I think hes
a guy that can relate to the players very well.Hes put together two winning
programs (at Western Kentucky and USF). He knows the West Coast, having been (an
assistant) at Stanford (from 2007-09). He has all the elements Oregon is looking
for. Hes a bright, young coach and it makes him easy to recommend.Taggart, in
his fourth year at USF, has increased the Bulls win total from 2 to 4 to 8 to
this years 10-2 record, marking the best record in school history.Oregon is a
different situation, Dungy said. Youre not coming in taking something from the
ground floor. You need a coach that can come in and get players going and coach
well. Its a big challenge at Oregon, one that he would be successful at. Youre
not trying to become respectable, youre trying to win national championships --
its a different kind of challenge.Dungy, who lives in Tampa, said it would be
bittersweet if Taggart ended up at Oregon.Oregon is a great job and hopefully he
gets it, Dungy said. If not, were happy to still have him in Tampa.Mullens, as a
member of the College Football Playoff selection committee, is in Grapevine,
Texas, this weekend.Mullens also interviewed Harsin, who is 38-13 in four
seasons as a head coach: 2013 at Arkansas State and the past three seasons at
Boise State.The Ducks are expected to interview other candidates in the schools
search for a replacement for former coach Mark Helfrich, a source said. Among
the possible candidates include Western Michigan coach P.J. Fleck, Florida coach
Jim McElwain, Ohio State defensive coordinator Greg Schiano and Oakland Raiders
offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave, who played quarterback at Oregon.Oregon has
not yet reached out to Fleck, sources said, although there could be some
movement Sunday.The Ducks would prefer to have a new coach in place by early
next week, a source said.ESPNs Adam Rittenberg contributed to this report.?

year. Afghanistan Cricket Board CEO Shafiq Stanikzai has presented an argument
in favor of the proposal for two-tier Test cricket, saying the side deserves the
opportunity to play Tests through their solid performances in the ICCs
Intercontinental Cup first-class multi-day competition for Associates.We think
that we are ready to play Test cricket and we have proven that, Stanikzai told
ESPNcricinfo in a recent interview. Since we entered into the Intercontinental
Cup arena, we were beaten only once. That was in the [2013] Intercontinental Cup
final where we got beaten by Ireland but thats the only loss we have in a
four-day game or multi-day game.Afghanistan are currently in second place behind
Ireland on the 2015-17 Intercontinental Cup table after four rounds, with three
wins and a rain-marred draw against Scotland. Afghanistans overall record in the
first-class competition is outstanding with 14 wins, one loss and four draws.
Right from their debut in the competition - a high-scoring draw in which they
claimed first-innings points against a Zimbabwe XI in 2009 - they have made an
effort to demonstrate their versatility rather than be pigeonholed as a
limited-overs specialist outfit.Nowhere was that more evident than in their
victory against a then elite Canada outfit in 2010, who at the time were
preparing to play their third successive ICC World Cup. Set a target of 494 to
win in the fourth innings, Afghanistan recorded the ninth-best successful chase
in first-class cricket history spearheaded by Mohammad Shahzads unbeaten 214.
That win propelled them to a maiden Intercontinental Cup title later that year
with a win over Scotland in the final. That victory also broke Irelands streak
of three successive titles.Overall, Afghanistan have scored 400 or more in an
innings six times and batted for more than 100 overs in an innings on 11
occasions in the Intercontinental Cup, showing their versatility. They havee
also shown adaptability to foreign conditions, notching victories in Scotland,
Kenya, Canada, Namibia and twice in the Netherlands.ddddddddddddhree of
Afghanistans last six Intercontinental Cup wins have come by an innings margin,
while the other three were by margins of ten wickets, eight wickets and 201
runs. Stanikzai says there is not much more for them to prove against
Associate-level competition in multi-day cricket and they are eager for a chance
to show their skills in a Test scenario.We have a real good package for every
single format of the game, he said. If you have a look at the Afghanistan
cricket team, we have almost a different squad for every single format. We have
T20 specialists, we have ODI specialists, we have multi-day players, specialists
not just in batting but in bowling as well. So we are carrying a different bunch
of players in every single format we are playing.Stanikzais point is backed up
by the fact that core players from their limited-overs squad - bowlers Hamid
Hassan, Shapoor Zadran and Rashid Khan, and batsmen Noor Ali Zadran, Javed
Ahmadi, Najibullah Zadran and Gulbadin Naib - were all absent from Afghanistans
starting XI in their most recent Intercontinental Cup win over Netherlands.
Afghanistan also has a domestic four-day competition since 2014, which features
teams from five regions, although this has not yet been assigned first-class
status.It means the talent is huge in Afghanistan and things have shaped up
quite nicely and we have improved quite rapidly in the cricketing world,
Stanikzai said. Afghanistan is a team that is ready to play Test cricket. We are
just looking forward for this [two-tier] proposal to get passed by the ICC
board. My stance and Afghanistan Cricket Boards stance is quite clear that we
need more opportunities. ' ' '
