2 SEMINOLES.COM 2017 FSU FOOTBALL | INDEPENDENCE BOWL HEAD COACH WILLIE TAGGART First Season at FSU | 9th Season as Head Coach | 20th Season Overall in 2018

Florida native Willie Taggart, considered one of the best offensive minds in the country and a relentless recruiter, was named Florida State’s 10th full-time head coach on Dec. 5, 2017. Taggart returns to the Sunshine State, where he was the head coach at the University of South Florida from 2013-16, after one season as head coach at the University of Oregon. He began his head coaching career at his alma mater, Western Kentucky University, from 2010-12 after serving as an assistant from 1999-2006. Between his tenures at Western Kentucky, he was an assistant coach at Stanford from 2007-09. Taggart has led remarkable turnarounds at each of his three previous head coaching positions. In the season prior to his hire, the programs Taggart inherited were a combined 7-29, and the best team he took over was a 4-8 Oregon squad. His overall record is 47-50, including a 25-12 mark since the start of the 2015 season. In that same timespan, his offenses are averaging 38.02 points per game, the fourth-highest total among FBS head coaches behind only Mike Gundy, Kliff Kingsbury and . Taggart jumped out to a hot start at Oregon, leading the Ducks to a 77-21 win in his first game in Eugene. The point total tied for the highest in the NCAA in 2017, was Oregon’s highest since 1916 and included a school-record nine rushing touchdowns. The offensive fireworks continued as Oregon scored 42 first-half points in each of the first three games of the season, marking the first time in school history the program scored at least 42 points in one half in three straight games. The Ducks began the season 5-1 and completed a 7-5 regular season with another offensive explosion, defeating rival Oregon State 69-10 for the team’s seventh 40-point offensive output of the season. Oregon currently ranks in the top 30 in the NCAA in 11 different statistical categories, including boasting the eighth-best rushing offense in the country rushing for 268.0 yards per game and the 18th-highest scoring offense averaging 36.7 points per game. On defense, the Ducks rank 17th in the country in fourth-down defense allowing a .391 conversion percentage and 20th in third-down defense at .324. The defense had one of the best performances of the season against Arizona’s Khalil Tate, who ranks sixth in the NCAA with an average of 135.3 rushing yards per game, holding him to only 32 yards rushing in a 48-28 victory. Taggart, from nearby Bradenton, returned to the Tampa Bay area to take over a South Florida team that won three games in 2012 and turned the Bulls into one of the most exciting programs in the country by 2016. In his final year at the helm in Tampa, Taggart led South Florida to a 10-2 record and No. 25 ranking in the final regular season poll, the team’s first ranking since 2011 and only the second time in program history the Bulls were ranked at the end of the regular season. His offense averaged 43.6 points per game, ranking seventh in the country, and was fifth in the nation averaging 291.8 rushing yards per game. The 2016 season also marked the first time since 2010 the Bulls qualified for back-to-back bowl games. With Taggart serving as the primary play caller, his offense broke 33 program records in 2016, including scoring, total touchdowns, total yards, rushing yards, yards per play, yards per rush and points per game. Quinton Flowers was named the American Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Year after becoming the first USF player to post 2,000 yards passing and 1,000 yards rushing in the same season, highlighting a program-record 10 all-conference selections. Taggart helped build the offensive juggernaut with the top-ranked recruiting classes in the AAC in both 2014 and 2015. He also oversaw a vast im- provement in the classroom while at USF, which improved its Graduation Success Rate in each of his four seasons and boasted a program-record 38 academic all-conference honorees in 2015. His first head coaching job was one of the most difficult reclamation projects in the country, taking over his alma mater that had lost 20 games in a row. He quickly led Western Kentucky to its first two winning seasons since transitioning from FCS to FBS and in 2012 saw the program reach its first bowl game. The Hilltoppers had a 12-2 stretch from Oct. 2011 through Oct. 2012 with their only two losses coming to the No. 1-ranked teams in the coun- try (LSU and Alabama). Taggart again made a splash in recruiting as he signed the top class in the Sun Belt in 2010 and 2011. Prior to being named head coach at WKU, Taggart was the running backs coach at Stanford, where he helped tutor 2009 Doak Walker Award winner, Pac- 10 Offensive Player of the Year and consensus first-team All-American Toby Gerhart. That year, Gerhart’s average of 144.7 rushing yards per game helped the Cardinal rank second in the Pac-10 and 11th in the nation with 224.3 yards per game on the ground and break the school’s single-season rushing record that had stood for 60 years with 2,481 total yards. The team also led the Pac-10 in total offense with an average of 441.4 yards per game. Taggart’s time as an assistant at Western Kentucky started in 1999 as wide receivers coach before shifting to coach in 2000, a position group he continued to coach for the rest of his time at WKU. He added co-offensive coordinator duties for the 2001 and 2002 seasons and served as assistant head coach for his final four years. Taggart helped direct an offense that set school records with 432 points, 5,749 yards of total offense and 263 first downs on the way to the 2002 NCAA Division I-AA national championship. That season, the Hilltoppers ranked second in the nation in pass efficiency and sixth in rushing yards per game. The offense saved its best performances for the playoffs, where it averaged 38.8 points per game in the four postseason wins. Under Taggart’s guidance from 2003-06, quarterback Justin Haddix set school records with 8,890 yards of total offense, a 57.1 completion percentage, 50 touchdowns and a 137.28 pass efficiency rating. Haddix also ranked second in program history with 541 completions and 7,929 passing yards. Taggart transitioned to coaching after authoring a playing career that ranks among the best in school history. He was the program’s starting quarter- back all four years and broke 11 school records, highlighted by his 47 rushing touchdowns, and left school holding the NCAA Division I record for rushing yards by a quarterback. He also ranked second in program history with 286 points, a 127.71 pass efficiency rating and 3,997 rushing yards and tied for third with 17 100-yard rushing games and for fourth with 30 passes. Taggart was recruited to Western Kentucky following a prep career at Bradenton’s Manatee High School. There, he was a first-team all-state and all-con- ference selection as a senior after directing the Hurricanes to the 5A state championship game. He earned his bachelor’s degree in social sciences from Western Kentucky in 1998. Taggart and his wife, Taneshia, have two sons, Willie Jr. and Jackson, and one daughter, Morgan.

SEMINOLES.COM 3 2017 FSU FOOTBALL | INDEPENDENCE BOWL INTERIM HEAD COACH ODELL HAGGINS Second game as Interim Head Coach | 24th Season at Florida State

Odell Haggins was named Florida State’s interim head coach on Dec. 1, 2017, and the next day led the Seminoles to a 42-10 victory over ULM that clinched bowl eligibility for the 36th straight year. Haggins, the longest-tenured member of the Florida State coaching staff, was promoted to associate head coach in 2014 and has helped FSU post a 234-74-1 (.759) record in his time on staff. He is in his 24th season at the school where he starred on the defensive line from 1986-89. He began his career as a tight ends/offensive line coach in 1994 with the Seminoles and took over the interior defensive line duties in 1996, where he has remained a fixture and helped the Seminoles to a pair of national titles in 1999 and 2013. Haggins has repeatedly developed future NFL pros while at Florida State. He has coached 17 defensive linemen that have been selected in the NFL Draft, including recent second-round picks Eddie Goldman (, 2015) and Timmy Jernigan (, 2014) and first-rounders Brodrick Bunkley (2006), Travis Johnson (2005), (2000) and Andre Wadsworth (1998). In 2015, Nile Lawrence-Stample captured All-ACC first team honors and signed a free agent contract with the following the season. The 2017 version of FSU’s defensive line was a dominant force in the middle as senior Derrick Nnadi and redshirt junior teamed up to wreak havoc in opponents’ backfields. Nnadi was a third-team All-ACC selection after setting career-high marks with 51 tackles and 9.0 tackles for loss. He also added 3.5 sacks, two quarterback hurries, one forced fumble and one pass breakup. Christmas also posted career highs of 35 tackles and 4.5 tackles for loss. Led by Nnadi and Christmas, the defensive line enjoyed yet another successful season under Haggins in 2016. The Seminoles ranked first in the nation in sacks per game, while ranking fifth in the ACC in rushing defense. Under the guidance of Haggins, Nnadi was a first-team All-ACC selection, while Christmas, sophomore Walvenski Aimè and sophomore Fred Jones were all productive from the interior tackle spots. Haggins’ defensive line anchored one of the nation’s best defenses in 2015. The Seminoles ranked ninth in the country in scoring defense, 19th in total defense and 21st in passing defense. Most impressively, FSU allowed only 10 rushing touchdowns, fifth-fewest in the country, and improved from 17 sacks in 2014 to 32 in 2015. Nnadi joined Lawrence-Stample on the all-confer- ence squad, snagging third team accolades, while Christmas emerged as a potential star. In 2014, Haggins oversaw a young interior defensive front line anchored by Goldman. Despite the youth on the defensive front, the Seminole defense still ranked in the top 30 in the country in six different categories. Goldman tallied a team-high 4.0 sacks, 8.0 tackles for loss and 35 total stops. He captured third-team All-America honors from the Associated Press and was a first-team All-ACC selection. The Seminoles advanced to the first-ever Playoff, set a Florida State record with a 29-game winning streak and captured the program’s third straight ACC championship. After Lawrence-Stample was injured in the season’s third game, Haggins got great production from redshirt junior Derrick Mitchell Jr., senior Desmond Hollin and Nnadi. A staunch interior defense played a prominent role in helping Florida State to its third national championship in the 2013 season. Jernigan, the Noles’ star nose guard, enjoyed another fine season as he earned All-America nods from several organizations including the Football Writers Association of America, Associated Press and USA TODAY. The high-powered run-stuffer in the trenches led a defensive front that surrendered just seven rushing touchdowns, the fewest in the nation. Florida State’s defensive tackles paved the way for the nation’s top scoring defense and the third-best total defense. The work of the front four was noticeable on several fronts, including allowing just 124.8 yards per game to opposing rushers. Opponents aver- aged just 3.3 yards per rush against the stout defensive front of the Seminoles, and FSU continued its strong pass rush, racking up 35 sacks. Following the 2013 season, Jernigan was the 48th overall selection in the 2014 NFL Draft by the Ravens, while two other veteran standout defensive tackles, Jacobbi McDaniel and Demonte McAllister, signed professional contracts as free agents. The 2012 season saw three Seminole defensive tackles earn All-ACC honors with senior Everett Dawkins and sophomore Jernigan capturing second-team recognition while senior Anthony McCloud picked up honorable-mention accolades. In part due to suffocating pressure up front, the Seminoles ranked second in the nation in total defense in 2012, yielding just 254.14 yards per contest. FSU allowed opposing running backs just 2.75 yards per carry, which tied for fourth in the country. Haggins has been able to build depth with his interior defensive line group that at one point in 2011 was four-deep at each position. That season, his regular rotation of McCloud, Dawkins, Cameron Erving and freshman All-American Jernigan produced 100 tackles, including 16.5 behind the . FSU’s run defense allowed opposing backs to average just 2.35 yards per carry, which led all 120 FBS programs. The Seminoles ranked fourth nationally in total defense. Haggins helped produce one of the best defensive lines in the nation in 2010 as the Seminoles ranked third in the nation in quarterback sacks per game, 21st in tackles for loss and 42nd in total defense. The Seminoles tied with Boise State for first nationally in total sacks with 48. Named one of the six best defensive line coaches in college football by CBS Sports in 2008, Haggins has repeatedly turned out top-flight talent with Bunkley, Johnson, Simon and Wad- sworth all being selected in the first round of the NFL Draft. The No. 3 overall pick in the 1998 draft, Wadsworth remained the highest drafted player in FSU history until was selected No. 1 overall in 2015. In addition to the first-rounders, Haggins’ pupils have also included Pro Bowler Darnell Dockett, Larry Smith, Andre Fluellen, Jerry Johnson, Julian Pittman and Letroy Guion. Most recently, Goldman was selected with the 39th pick in the 2015 NFL Draft by the Chicago Bears. Haggins’ 1999 defensive front included future NFL standouts Simon and Johnson, who were instrumental in FSU’s 12-0 run to the national championship. The Seminoles boasted the nation’s top-ranked defense in 1998 and the No. 1 rushing defense in 1996 and 1997. The 2008 defense ranked first nationally in tackles for loss. Haggins has won at every level as a player and a coach. He was on the front end of Florida State’s dynasty years, starring at nose guard for the Seminoles. FSU posted a 39-8-1 record with Haggins in the lineup from 1986-89 and he was part of four bowl-winning teams. He earned Kodak, Walter Camp and UPI All-America honors as a senior in 1989. A ninth-round pick in the 1990 NFL Draft by the 49ers, Haggins went on to play for the during their 1991 season. Following a three-year NFL career, he returned to Florida State, completed his degree and joined ’s staff following the Seminoles’ 1993 national championship season. As an assistant coach, Haggins has established himself as an outstanding recruiter, developer of talent and a role model to his players. He earned ACC Top Recruiter of the Year honors from ESPN in 2012. For the fourth consecutive year, Haggins was named one of the top 25 recruiters in the nation by Rivals.com in 2014. In 2016, Haggins captured the same top-25 mention from 247Sports. Haggins and his wife, Robin, have one daughter, Amelia Grace.
