The duo were with Taggart at Florida State and will bring South Florida experience to the FAU coaching staff.

Woodie will work with the outside linebackers, a unit that has traditionally led of FAU's defense. Samuels Jr. will focus his attention on the defensive backs, which could potentially feature Meiko Dotson, who led the nation in interceptions per game (0.7).

With the hires, Kevin Patrick, who was previously announced as an outside linebackers coach, will move to his natural coaching position and a position he played, defensive line.
