Top candidates to replace Willie Taggart as new Florida State football coach

Tallahassee Democrat

Florida State made the decision to fire coach Willie Taggart on Sunday and will need a new head coach for the 2020 season.

Taggart went 9-12 in his first 21 games and was fired before the end of his second season in charge of the Seminoles. The firing comes after FSU (4-5, 3-4 ACC) was blown out 27-10 by Miami on Saturday.

Who will the FSU administration turn to in order to get the program back on track?

Florida Sate beat writer Wayne McGahee III takes a look at five candidates that could be head coaching targets for the Seminoles.
