Willie Taggart should be commended for handing off play calling duties

Willie Taggart said he realized his team needed him in other areas and that’s why he allowed FSU offensive coordinator Walt Bell to take over play calling duties against NC State Saturday.

Head coaches calling offensive plays takes a ton of their attention off other areas of the team. It’s time-consuming to try to stay a step ahead of what’s happening on the field and it’s even more difficult when you want to run up tempo.

I think everyone was surprised when it became apparent Willie Taggart wasn’t calling plays Saturday. He made it clear several times prior to the season beginning that he would be doing so.
