Willie Taggart to join Baltimore Ravens staff

The former Stanford running backs coach and Florida State head coach is off to the NFL

Willie Taggart has had quite a few stops in the college football world over the past decade, but has now decided to take a swing at the NFL level. 

Taggart has been hired as the Baltimore Ravens running backs coach, after head coaching stints with Florida State, Oregon, Western Kentucky, South Florida and Florida Atlantic for the past three seasons before being fired in November. He also was in talks to join Colorado's staff under coach Deion Sanders, but ultimately decided to pass.

Taggart was 71-80 overall as a college head coach, including a 10-win season at South Florida in 2016. Prior to the handful of head coaching gigs, he was Stanford's running backs coach from 2007-09 until he was hired at Western Kentucky. 

This is now his third tenure with a Harbaugh, as he played for and later coached under Jack Harbaugh, the father of Ravens coach John Harbaugh, at Western Kentucky. He also obviously worked for Jim Harbaugh at Stanford.
