What brought about Willie Taggart's downfall at Florida State

Posted Nov 6, 2019
Florida State fired football coach Willie Taggart on Sunday less than two years into his tenure. That may seem like a short time to make a decision on a coach, but his brief tenure was riddled with mistakes and missteps. The signs were there that Taggart wouldn’t be able to turn it around, and the FSU administration made the decision to move on. (Tallahassee Democrat)
