The school confirmed Monday that offensive coordinator Paul Wulff, defensive coordinator Chuck Bresnahan and assistant head coach/defensive backs coach Ron Cooper were all fired.
“I would like to thank Chuck, Paul and Ron for everything they have done in helping move the USF football program forward,” Taggart said in a statement. “They are first-class people and I wish them the best in their future endeavors.”
With Wulff’s firing, Taggart will now hire his third offensive coordinator in as many years. Wulff joined the program in January after serving stints as head coach a Eastern Washington (2000-07) and Washington State (2008-11). He also was an assistant with the San Francisco 49ers before joining Taggart’s staff this season.
This season, the Bulls finished No. 121 in the nation with 304.7 yards per game and No. 119 in scoring offense with 17.2 points per game.
Bresnahan was let go after two years with the program. The Bulls allowed 402.8 yards per game (No. 73) and 27.0 points per game (No. 68) this season. Before coming to USF, Bresnahan was a long-time defensive assistant in the NFL with the Oakland Raiders, Cincinnati Bengals, Indianapolis Colts and Cleveland Browns. He also coached at Navy, Georgia Tech and Maine.
Cooper was in his second season at USF. In addition to USF, Cooper has coached at 14 different schools over the last 30 seasons, including head coaching gigs at Eastern Michigan, Louisville and Alabama A&M.
The Bulls ended their season on Nov. 28 with a 16-0 home loss to UCF to finish 4-8 on the year. In two seasons at the helm, Taggart is 6-18 overall and 5-11 in American Athletic Conference play.
