I was just wondering about Trooper...

If anyone is a Scout subscriber, take a look at the Ohio State page (I think) and see if there is blog about a story that the Chicago Tribune is going to run about Jordan Diamond's recruitment. I'd love some details.

Wow, I didn't realize there was so much hate for Trooper Taylor on this board. I thought he did a great job as a recruiter here and never got us in trouble. I must have missed something.

Obviously, I wouldn't think of him as a head coaching candidate, but I didn't realize how many here had so many negative feelings toward him.

He was a great running back coach back when we had runners who ran, do you guys remember that he did good for us, may not be ready for a head coach spot at UT.

He's not even allowed to recruit on the road for his current team due to his questionable recruiting practices. He might not be allowed to be a coach anywhere next year.

The information you provided is why I asked. I had heard something about him and recruiting, but could not remember what it was. Thanks.

BTW, I was not asking for UT, I was just wondering, in general, if he would be a candidate somewhere. Again, thanks ><>

He is over the age of 16 and still wears his hat backwards so...no.

You must be talking about my son... He is 17 and wears his cap backwards all the time... As for me, Mr. Harris hit it dead on, except for late 50's.

Why does a mid-50's age ex-military officer want to join a group of kids half his age in conversation? This is a rubbish site. Juvenile jokes & potty mouths. You deserve much, much better. Have you tried the seven day free trial period at VolQuest? That might be a bit more what you are looking for...no disrespect....sir.

And thanks again for your service!

Hey, thanks for the info about VolQuest. Hope you're having a great day, but what's with the "work... work... work" under the photo? Just wondering...

Evidently. I had heard something about Trooper, a little while back, but didn't remember what it was. I was just wondering where he is in his career path to become head coach somewhere. It seems, from the replies that he is going backwards at a rapid clip.

On the contrary, my sources tell me his chest-bumping skills have greatly increased since he was last a UT assistant. He's also quite adept at towel waving.

Same here. I remember a number of people were mad when he left and wondered why UT didn't offer him a similar position and more pay to keep him. I was not among them because I did not know all the details, except he was offered a more prestigious title and money to leave.

Looks like his aspirations to become a head coach have been derailed by some bad decisions on his part.

Are you kidding? Trooper was a very good position Coach either RB or WR Coach. He was a Great Recruiter. He just is not Coordinator or Head Coach material.

However, if he has those recruiting violations people are posting... we do not need or want him. I didn't realize he was in that situation, or I would not have started the thread. Ooops...

Obviously I don't have details, but listening to Finebaum, there are a lot of Barners calling in who are very cryptic about TT and what has been going on with and they are worried that the NCAA is going to snooping around again. The NCAA should just open an office Down there.

Heard he also has the locker room split between Chizik recruits and TT recruits. He is not happy about not getting the OC job after Malzahn left. Sound familiar?

I heard Finebaum as well. Almost seemed to intimate TT was bag man for Cam didn't he? He did say 'read my book for details'
