Florida State’s vacancy at head coach didn’t last long.
As expected after the departure of previous coach Jimbo Fisher for Texas A&M, the Seminoles did not tarry, quickly vetting candidates and today agreeing to terms with Oregon head coach Willie Taggart, sources told Tomahawk Nation.
Taggart will make the long trip to Tallahassee from Eugene, Oregon, where he was the University of Oregon’s head coach this season. In our head coach hot board, we mentioned a number of criteria FSU would prefer in a new head coach: previous success as a head coach, familiarity with the area, recruiting prowess, an offensive mind, and youth— and Taggart checks all of those boxes.
