BOCA RATON, Fla. _ It looks like Florida Atlantic has filled its head coaching vacancy.
FAU has reportedly agreed to a deal with Willie Taggart for him to become the Owls' next head coach, per multiple reports. Yahoo Sports first reported the news.
Lane Kiffin stepped down as Florida Atlantic's coach on Saturday after the Owls won the Conference USA Championship to take over the head coaching reigns at Ole Miss.
Taggart most recently was the head coach at Florida State. He went 9-12 during his two seasons with the Seminoles before being fired on Nov. 3 after FSU lost to Miami.
Taggart has a 56-62 record as a head coach. He went 7-5 at Oregon in 2017 before leaving for FSU. He coached at USF from 2013-16 and coached at Western Kentucky, his first collegiate head coaching position, from 2010-12.
