As Pelissero notes, Taggart has a connection with Ravens head coach John Harbaugh. He worked with his brother, Jim Harbaugh, on Stanford’s coaching staff from 2007-09.
Taggart had previously agreed to become an analyst at Colorado. This will be the 1st NFL stint of his coaching career. He’d been a coach in college football dating back to 1999 and a head coach since 2010.
