FSU Football: Writer wrong to call Willie Taggart worst first year coach

With the 2018 college football season in the rearview mirror for teams like FSU football that weren’t able to make it to a bowl game (still hurts to say that), the second guessing has begun after the regular season and people are starting to discuss the impact that first year coaches – like the Seminoles’ Willie Taggart – had on their teams.

Yes, there was way too much preseason hype as it turned out for Taggart when he came into the program – partly based off people wanting to get past the feeling of abandonment from the previous coach and partly off the continuous media circus that wants instant results without looking at how bad the previous coach left things.
