Taylor is Sacramento State’s first-year football coach who has the Hornets soaring, and who’s name has been linked to the Colorado State post. And UNLV. And Fresno State.
In short, Taylor is flattered but not interested.
“I do hear (about the openings from others) and people are curious,” Taylor said. “It’s nice to be mentioned in those circles, but I really like what I do here. I love what I’m doing.”
“For me, it’s never been about the money,” Taylor said. “It’s about enjoying the game and the people I’m around. I’m having a blast. I have no intention of being anywhere but here.”
That Taylor took a considerable pay cut to leave Utah to return to Sacramento last winter is all you need to know about his priorities. He added, “We’re just getting started. We want to build something really special here. Those things take time.”
“I think this is the start of something special with Troy and his staff,” Orr said, watching Thursday’s practice. “Troy likes to teach, likes to coach, likes to be around his people. I take it as a compliment that his name has come up. It means you’re doing a good job, and it doesn’t concern me that others might be interested. I do know this: I see Troy every day. I know he loves what he’s doing. He wants to build this program and we want him here.”
