TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Willie Taggart had a ready answer when he was asked to describe the offensive system he plans to run at Florida State.
“Talkin’ about the Gulf Coast offense, huh?” he asked.
“How would I describe it?” Taggart paused, perhaps for effect.
“Lethal simplicity,” Taggart said.
Next to him, athletic director Stan Wilcox beamed. Those two words may have meant more than anything else Taggart said during his introductory news conference last week. Taggart has much to do during his first few months on the job, but among the most intriguing items on the checklist is how he will reimagine and modernize an offense that has been stuck in the past.
