Seven years - guaranteed - for a First Time HC??? Orr gave away the store ... he better be right.

Didn't Terry Tumey give an unemployed position coach 5 years guaranteed?

Welp, regardless, Taylor is the Captain of the Big Sac Ship now!

Sears had 3 2-win seasons, and twonof those years included a D2 team. 6 wins with Sperbeck’s players the first year. They were hurt by injuries thus year but they were pretty bad.

Troy Taylor is a really smart man with a degree from Cal. I loved listening to him on KGO covering Cal games and was sad when he left because he had some really good insight.

Apparently Whittingham at Utah and Trump have similar issues with staff retention: https://www.sltrib.com/sports/utah-utes/2018/12/18/monson-troy-taylor-is/

It sounds like Utah needs a Ron Gould protege. Trump is a DC outsider, same thing would have happened to Ross Perot in the Swamp. ... Even the head of the liberal IMF is predicting a 3.7% GDP rate for the US next year, almost double prior administration.

Why does Utah hire guys like Taylor, and why did he accept?

Ooof...pretty hard hitting article...

The Dark Overlord. Not sure if that's good or bad.

Folsom coach Kris Richardson to step down and join Taylor at Slack State.

Excellent pick up for the Hornets. I think Taylor has a chance to really turn that program around. Also gonna be some inter family rivalry now with Kooper being at Davis.

I hope for Taylor that Sac doesn't continue to be "where coaching careers go to die" under his leadership.

I don't remember the last coach to move upward from Sac State.

Mattos > Retired
Clemons (2 seasons) > Out of football?
Volek > Sierra College
Mooshagian> Ventura College
Sperbeck > Out of football?
Sears > TBD?

Also bringing three assistants from Folsom High School, including former Slack QB Bobby Fresques:

Does the fact that Sucs new assist. coach has a son on the aggies create a conflict? Confidentiality of game plans, etc ?

I don’t think so. It’s a strange situation as his brother plays for Folsom as well I think. Where does he go? Brother v. Brother not unusual. What I think is unusual is Taylor taking on almost the entire Folsom HS coaching staff as his assistants.. these are the guys who go out and recruit in the field. They need the creds to do this. Doubtful they have it at the FCS level. Bee lauds this as a commitment to “recruit locally” as Bee has always wanted this. I see this as somewhat lazy or too convenient to make a lot of sense. Heart before head- not always they right way to go. Wish them well. . . .

Good thing the Causeway game is played BEFORE Thanksgiving....though it might be ugly at the Richardson family table after the game, too.

Ya, they are want to beat the hell out of each other come Causeway.
I don't think there is a conflict of interest.

Come on

Hopefully they don’t have the brother issues that got Mr. Tuili arrested!

Maybe I got a head of things, but I am assuming Kooper’s brother, Kaden, will go to Sac with his dad.

Has any other college program ever hired so many HS coaches? Risky.

Sac State High is still appropriate I guess.

I think hiring a hometown product like Troy Taylor was a good move by Sac and, if he is able to rack up some wins, he could reinvigorate Sac's all but dead fan base. They could also have an inside track with local high school recruits but they need to be able to cast a much wider net for talent than just locally. On the other hand, the Ags are loaded with coaches that have had FCS and FBS experience both in coaching and recruiting at those levels and, as a UC, we have a lot to offer that Sac can not match.

The Ags have been successfully mining the entire San Joaquin Valley for quite a while and have a great presence in SoCal. We have also landed recruits from Arizona, Oregon and Washington. Sac has a lot of catching up to do and I'm not sure how well a bunch of high school coaches are going to do recruiting outside of the local area.

It kind of reminds me of Coach Gould hiring mostly very young assistants. No diversity of background.

Taylor only took the job because Sac St promised to go FBS. If Sac was staying FCS, it would have been a career killer.

Really ... are you paying for the stadium upgrades, extra scholarships, and gender equity?

Slac St doesn't need stadium upgrades as they have 15k. Can add women's lax like Davis has.

Sac has a gym that is smaller than most high school gyms. They have a large capacity football stadium which is a basic high school field and hand-me-down bleachers purchased from the Tournament of Roses folks. There's a difference in having 15K seats and having 15K butts paying to sit in them.

Man, you are dropping zingers in here my friend.
