Willie Taggart’s head coaching debut at Florida State just got a little more special. With existing plans to both retire Peter Warrick’s #9 jersey and induct Coach Odell Haggins into the FSU Hall of Fame, Florida State announced another exciting treat for the Seminoles’ prime time showdown against Justin Fuente’s Virginia Tech Hokies on September 3rd.
Per the official school website, living legends Bobby Bowden and Frank Beamer will return to Tallahassee as honorary captains for their former teams’ much anticipated cross-divisional battle. The announcement comes as an absolute treat for college football fans across the board, as both men coached four decades of success at their respective schools.
