How Syracuse helped butterfly-effect Willie Taggart to Florida State

When the Syracuse Orange and Florida State Seminoles face off this Saturday, SU will see a familiar face on the opposite sideline.

New ‘Noles head coach Willie Taggart has been on the job for just two games, but he’s seen Syracuse before (and recently), going 2-0 against them between 2015 and 2016 with the USF Bulls.

You probably remembered that Taggart coached those South Florida teams. But perhaps you forgot the Orange’s direct (butterfly) effect on the Bulls’ turnaround, Taggart’s eventual hire at Oregon, and then his move to FSU.

Walk with us down short-term memory lane.
