CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- New Florida State coach Willie Taggart said the team "didn't handle adversity well" in 2017 and must build more chemistry and accountability to compete for championships again.
Speaking Thursday at ACC media days, Taggart said he was surprised to learn how little Florida State players knew about each other when he took over as head coach. The Seminoles opened the 2017 season at No. 3 but started 3-6 before winning their final four games, including the Independence Bowl over Southern Miss.
"A big part of caring about someone is you've got to get to know your teammates," Taggart said.
