One of the biggest criticisms surrounding Jimbo Fisher during his time at Florida State was his refusal to make necessary changes to his coaching staff. Fisher’s staff was stale, out of touch with kids, and ultimately played a part in the Seminoles’ disappointing 7-6 2017 campaign.
As we showed last season, Florida State’s 2017 staff was nearly a decade older than some of its rival’s staffs. While programs like Miami, Clemson, and Georgia were hiring young, up and coming coaches, FSU’s staff had remained pretty much the same since the 2013 season.
Willie Taggart’s first staff at Florida State is complete, and the 41-year old head coach has brought some fresh faces to Tallahassee.
