The last couple of years have not been kind to former Florida State head coach Willie Taggart, who was fired by the Seminoles in 2019.

On Saturday, Taggart received his second pink slip in three years after Florida Atlantic concluded the 2022 season with a 32-31 loss. The defeat held the Owls out of the postseason for the third consecutive season. The results were incredibly frustrating considering the starts that the team got off to before dropping off massively.
