During his introduction as Florida State's head coach Wednesday, Willie Taggart apologized for leaving Oregon after 363 days, saying the job was a homecoming and a "dream" for him and his family of lifelong Seminoles fans.
After thanking Oregon boosters Phil Knight and Pat Kilkenny, as well as athletic director Rob Mullens and UO president Michael Schill, for giving him his first job in a Power Five conference, he called himself sorry for leaving so quickly -- 15 days before recruits can sign national letters of intent.
"I feel bad because you feel like you let him down and I know I did," Taggart said in Tallahassee, referring to Mullens.
