Citadel Suspends Taaffe After Arrest

Citadel Coach Charlie Taaffe was suspended for the season after his second drunken-driven arrest in three years.

Walt Nadzak, Citadel’s athletic director, said Taaffe will teach in the physical education department while defensive coordinator Don Powers runs the team.

Taaffe was arrested July 27 and charged with driving under the influence after allegedly running a red light in Mount Pleasant, S.C. He was acquitted of a DUI charge in 1993.
