Hagerty Family Head Football Coach Willie Taggart on the first day of Spring Practice
“Our guys have been working the whole off season, and now it is time to go out on the football field and see if we can execute the things that we have been teaching and working on this off-season. Our guys are excited to get back out there. We [staff] are excited to get back out there. We have some new coaches and some new players, so that is always fun to get out there and see what guys can do.”
What do you want to accomplish or get better?
“I want to be consistent, that is one thing we have talked about. Also, finishing everything that we do. We have focused a lot on that. Our guys have done a good job so far this off season.”
You were young last year, but are you looking for some of the younger guys to emerge and challenge for spots and create competition?
“I think that is the beauty of it all, recruiting and getting guys in here in January. You get them here in the spring and allow the guys to compete. They get a chance to get in the weight room and get a little stronger and faster. We want to make it highly competitive. We don’t want anyone to feel comfortable. It has to be competitive every single day. Guys want to play, and this is an opportunity to go out and compete, make plays, and earn the right to play.”
WHAT’S NEXT
FAU will open the 2022 season on Saturday, Sept. 3, 2022, in Athens, Ohio.
