text: Your story really hit home with me as I have followed Willie Taggert from his days at Western Kentucky. My best buddy's daughter is on the coaching staff, at WKU, USF and now Oregon. We have had the privilege of getting to know the man and his family, not just as a coach. We have been in the parking lot at Raymond James Stadium waiting with his family for "Coach T" to come out. His dad, as well as the entire family, welcomed us with open arms. And I mean open arms because you were going to get a hug. Willie Taggert doesn't forget where he came from, and shows humility and compassion towards everyone he meets. I only know one Division 1 head football coach, and I am proud to say it is Willie Taggert. He sets the example every day how you treat people, regardless of their background. I will see the Ducks fly high because they have a leader.
