Back on Dec. 5, 2017, the Florida State Seminoles hired Florida native Willie Taggart to be its 10th full-time head football coach.
Less than two years later, he is no longer employed by the team as he was fired on Sunday after just 21 games.
The Seminoles (4-5, 3-4 ACC) were dominated in the loss by the Hurricanes 27-10.
“I spoke to Coach Taggart this afternoon to let him know of our decision,” said FSU Dircetor of Athletics David Coburn in a statement released by the University.
“I met with the team and coaches immediately after that conversation to let them know of the change. It was very important to us that the student-athletes know right away.”
Taggart left Oregon after one year to coach the Seminoles, coaching at South Florida for four seasons from 2013-16.
