Based on discussion that can be found at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject College football/Archive 23#Tree littering, in order for a biography article to contain a coaching tree list or section, that coaching tree's notablity must be established by multiple reliable third-party sources that explicitly discuss that coaching tree or that coach's legacy of mentoring disciples who then went on to become head coaches. Sources that merely report that X worked under Y do not suffice to establish the notability of a tree.

Repository for coaching trees that have been removed from articles due to lack of sourcing to establish notability below.

Maryland played in three bowl games during Taaffe's tenure, recording victories in the 2002 Peach Bowl over Tennessee and the 2004 Gator Bowl versus West Virginia. Under Taaffe's tutelage, quarterbacks Shaun Hill and Scott McBrien both garnered All-ACC honors.
