One of Willie Taggart‘s former assistants will remain at South Florida, albeit in a different capacity.
Earlier Saturday, USF announced that Charlie Strong has retained Shaun King as part of his first coaching staff with the Bulls. Instead of quarterbacks coach, however, the former college and NFL signal-caller will coach running backs.
Sterlin Gilbert, named as offensive coordinator this past week, will handle King’s former job.Excited to have the opportunity to help bring a championship to @USFFootball #gobulls 🐂🐂🐂🤘🤘🤘

The 39-year-old King just recently completed his first season with the Bulls, and his first season as a coach at the collegiate level. It’s likely that he will be the only Taggart assistant to remain with the program after the head coach left for the same job at Oregon.
Thus far, three of Taggart’s former USF coaches have joined his staff with the Ducks.
