Willie Taggart grew up in a home full of passionate Florida State fans, so naturally he became a passionate Florida State fan, too, immersing himself in the history and tradition, perfecting his tomahawk chop. He desperately wanted to play for legendary FSU coach Bobby Bowden, but as his high school coach describes it, Taggart was 6 feet tall and weighed 145 pounds "soaking wet." Though he never got an offer to become a Seminole, Taggart never forgot about Florida State. Not after he left for Western Kentucky, where he broke 11 school records at quarterback. Certainly not after that, when he jumped right into coaching at his alma mater.
