Former EWU OC, Sac St HC Troy Taylor ESPN story

[blueandgoldblitz]

Sounds like he's kind of a jerk. Once upon a time, I kind of wished he coached here based on how great of a program he ran at Sac State but it's looking like a blessing based on how he treats support staff, especially women, based on reports from ESPN

I see Fox News has picked the story now as well. He could be done as a head coach... at least for awhile.

This a bad look for Stanford. Fired Taylor once the results of the investigation got out, not as soon as the investigations were final. Gonna be tough for TT to get a head coaching job but he will be a OC somewhere this fall.

Agree, Stanford handled this very poorly. If their investigations revealed wrongdoing they should have acted. If not, they should have stood by Taylor.

Stanford hired Frank Reich as interim coach.

Presumably the harm it will cause him in potentially getting another coaching job. Can't say I see this lawsuit going anywhere, defamation is incredibly hard to prove.
