Sac State's bid for the Pac 12 Thread Saying "saves the program" is a lot easier said than done at this stage in the game. They have no conference, no schedule, and now a history of administration that fails to follow through on pretty much any and all promises. Was Taylor an excellent coach for Sac in his previous stint? Yes absolutely, but the dynamics of the job have changed so significantly since he last held it. I'm not sure how you, as a coach, sell that program to recruits now unless Wood bows out.
