Troy Taylor

Sounds like a nothing burger to me. 🙄

FWIW I heard he treated some folks pretty crappy while he was here, but my info is all 3rd and 4th hand so take it with a grain of salt. I take this ESPN story to be more about Stanford getting it's litigation lined up to fire Troy with cause after another failed season which would get them off the hook of paying out the entirety of the contract.

This ESPN story also puts the move to poach Andy into perspective. Taylor needed someone on his side to combat the pending axe falling in his direction and cover his back on these allegations. Shrewd move. Regardless, with Stanford's AD out I'm not seeing how Troy survives past this upcoming season. The grass isn't always greener, I hope the money was worth it.
 
The grass is not always greener, but no coach would stay at Sac State for the money Stanford is paying. Reminds me of when Mike Montgomery left Stanford to coach the Golden State Warriors. Life changing pay increase, but he was much better suited to be a college coach. Also not sure Andy was poached. I thin Wood wanted to make his own hire and Andy was provided a graceful exit.

I agree with you - the anonymous quote describing TT as an “Equal Opportunity Asshole” is the perfect encapsulation of how I’ve head be is behind closed doors. Those kinds of guys win football games though, and players usually support for their honesty.
 
Being at woke as hell Stanford didn’t help any masculinity issues he has. Masculinity is toxic remember.
Football team should change its color to a rainbow and a unicorn mascot.
 
That’s too bad, this following a financial penalty from the school.

Thompson is out too, more than likely.

Marion to Stanturd?

Does Taylor end up at another BSC school and start kicking ass and taking names?

I only met Troy a couple times briefly and I find this bully stuff really hard to believe. He’s a really nice guy, that seems to love his players, strong motivator and great witn x & o’s. Him being called “an asshole”, for a HC FBS, you kinda have to be an ass to survive. Unfortunately for him, the winning didn’t come soon enough. He definitely can coach at FBS in right program but probably will go FCS first you have to believe. He should sue Stanford because this news getting out has really impacted his image which is important for employment.

Sue Stanford? If the accusations are true/accurate what would he possibly stand to gain besides more bad press and additional scrutiny.

If you couldn’t get a job again (could be the case for TT) because every employer is worried about you being “mean”, you wouldn’t do everything legally in your power? I’d work on defending myself. If he doesn’t then it looks even worse
 
I'm kinda confused about the Stanford org chart. At most schools that have these "GM" positions, aren't they just for NIL monitoring? It sound's like Luck is functioning more like a professional GM, in control of everything. He doesn't even fall under the AD; he reports directly to the President. At the college level, that doesn't sound quite right....
 
Interesting perspective.


Interesting rabbit hole to go down is if Andy stays put, Troy bouncing back here is a very likely outcome...who knows, maybe that happens after Marion wins some hardware and is poached for "something bigger". Food for thought.
 
Get em JB. Maybe these were binary’s and not women?
Feel bad for AT too. He just uprooted his family for the Gay Area and now he is cast out again. Tough profession.

I think Marion has one good year to change his life and off to an FBS program. Since TT was fired for cause, not sure of any severance. If he could ride out until Marion leaves, he would be a great candidate.

Yes.. agree making this HR issue public makes him look toxic and injures his reputation.
I’m still grateful to Troy Taylor for his years at Sac St. I don’t think the great things we have in motion now would have happened without his contributions to our program’s image.
