The Daily Nole — Jan. 6, 2019: McGriff to Join FSU’s Staff

It’s Sunday, Florida State fans. As your day and weekend come to a close, keep it here for the latest in FSU athletics. The news and notes section of this post will be updated throughout the day.

Lead Story

The Florida State coaching staff continues to undergo changes. According to a report from the Tallahassee Democrat, former Ole Miss defensive coordinator Wesley McGriff is expected to join head coach Willie Taggart’s staff.

McGriff was recently fired as defensive coordinator after a dismal defensive season by the Rebels. McGriff is expected to coach defensive backs for the Seminoles — a role previously held by defensive coordinator Harlon Barnett.

Regarded as a great recruiter, McGriff has more than 15 years as an FBS assistant. Previous stops include Auburn, Vanderbilt, Baylor, Miami, Kentucky and the New Orleans Saints of the NFL.
