Taggart talking with Sanders about joining staff.
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/20 ... ates-staff
Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders is considering taking a coaching job at his alma mater.
Sanders, who currently works as an analyst at NFL Network, has had discussions with new Florida State coach Willie Taggart about coaching the Seminoles’ defensive backs, according to multiple reports.
Sanders is at Florida State’s bowl game this afternoon and was asked about it during the ESPN broadcast. Sanders neither confirmed nor denied the reports but sounded interested.
“You never know,” Sanders said.
The 50-year-old Sanders founded a charter school in 2012 and coached at the school, which has since shut down amid financial problems. He has never coached at the college or professional level. Sanders played three years at Florida State and was a two-time All-American. He was also on the Seminoles’ baseball and track teams.

He would be a hell of a recruiter.

Just don't see him taking a full time job. His net worth is estimated to be $40m, but you never know.

The jury is still out regarding slick willie's coaching abilities and x's and o's. But damn...he's good at all the other mumbo jumbo and recruiting tactics.

Re: Taggart talking with Sanders about joining staff.
Makes you wonder how he is going to be successful with a staff full of showmen and salesmen. It isn't like FSU has been hurting for talent. It seems like they now think they will be more successful with the same level of talent and a big step back in coaching.alxtw wrote:The jury is still out regarding slick willie's coaching abilities and x's and o's.

Give him 3 years and he'll be headed back to the American Conference.karlhungis wrote:Makes you wonder how he is going to be successful with a staff full of showmen and salesmen.

Re: Taggart talking with Sanders about joining staff.
I love my boy Isaac Ropp's theory that within 5 seasons from kickoff of 2018, Taggat will be back with Harbaugh as an assistant coach. Don't get me wrong, as dissapointed as I was to see him leave, I believe that Taggart is a better Recruiter/CEO than a X & O's guru. The challenge for him is that FSU never needed a recruting expert. They need a schematically superior Coaching Staff. That being said, Taggart has shown himself able to recruit coordiantors and coaches. I really feel like we should tip our hats and let the man go.

Sanders left FSU after 3 years. Don't you have to have at least a BA in order to Coach at the D1 level? Just curious.....
