TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Florida State needed to shake things up, so Willie Taggart has turned over the play-calling duties to his offensive coordinator.
Taggart said "he's not a big ego guy" and after a rocky start in his first season (4-5, 2-5 Atlantic Coast Conference) as the Seminoles' coach, he opted to let offensive coordinator Walt Bell call plays in the 47-28 loss at NC State. Despite losing, Bell will call the shots against this week against undefeated Notre Dame.
"I thought Walt did a good job of calling plays," Taggart said. "Obviously, we didn't get the win but I thought him doing that was good, and allowing me to see and be a part of other things within our program.
