After just one year at Oregon, Willie Taggart will reportedly be named Jimbo Fisher's replacement at Florida State.

Per college football reporter Brett McMurphy, Taggart reached agreement Tuesday to take over the Seminoles.

Taggart spent three years at Western Kentucky and four at South Florida before landing at Oregon, in both cases starting off slowly with a 2-10 season before turning things around for the better. He helped South Florida earn its first 10-win season in history in 2016.

The Ducks made a quicker turnaround under the new coach, going 7-5 in his first year after managing just a 4-8 record the year before.
