FAU Football: Willie Taggart announces changes in coaching staff

FAU football head coach Willie Taggart has announced changes in his coaching staff for the 2021 season, including the introduction of Michael Johnson.

Johnson, who has been coaching for 23 years, will now be the co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the team. Not only will he be reuniting with Taggart for the first time since 2018, when they were in Oregon, he will also be coaching his son, Michael Johnson Jr., who came to the program after transferring from Penn State.

Coaching in the National Football League (NFL) is something Johnson is familiar with.
