Former FSU, Oregon head coach Willie Taggart expected to be named Ravens RB coach
The Baltimore Ravens reportedly hired former Florida Atlantic head coach Willie Taggart as the new running backs coach, according to Tom Pelissero.
Taggart failed to have a winning season with the Owls and went 15-18 as head coach over three seasons. He previously coached Florida State, Oregon, South Florida and Western Kentucky since 2010.
Initially, Taggart reportedly joined Deion Sanders’ staff at Colorado but will now head to the NFL.
“The Ravens are expected to hire Willie Taggart as their running backs coach, per source,” Pelissero wrote on Twitter. “Taggart — the former head coach at FAU, Florida State, Oregon, South Florida and Western Kentucky — was once Jim Harbaugh’s RB coach at Stanford. Now joins brother John in Baltimore.”
