Willie Taggart hired as Ravens’ running backs coach

The Baltimore Ravens hired Willie Taggart as their running backs coach on Wednesday.

The 46-year-old Taggart has served as head coach at five Division I programs, most recently at Florida Atlantic, where he went 33-15 from 2020-22. Before that, he was the coach at Florida State (2018-19), Oregon (2017), South Florida (2013-16) and Western Kentucky (2010-12).

Taggart has also been an assistant at Stanford and Western Kentucky. He was the Hilltoppers’ starting quarterback from 1995-98 and rushed for 3,997 yards and 47 touchdowns.

“He has a proven track record for developing players as a position coach, as an offensive coordinator and as a head coach,” Ravens coach John Harbaugh said in a statement.
