What's everyone's problem with Trooper? I know he's been in some NCAA trouble but a lot of big name people seem to think he would be a good hire. I'm not saying I'm pro-Trooper or against him. Just wanted to get an idea, so don't flame. Thanks guys.

Being a highly paid towel waver / chest bumper is a young man's job. Trooper is no longer a young man. And he is in trouble with the NCAA.

You can not go back to the well twice. Trooper's days in Knoxville have come and gone.

It is time to move on...

I think TT is a good position coach and he is a great recruiter. It's how he came to be/remains a great recruiter that is the issue. Tennessee can not take big risks right now. We are on probation as it is.

Think he's referring to a lot of folk in the Graham to FSU thread. Lots of "big' name people on volnation. :)

NCAA has not said what punishment they will be giving Trooper, and nobody ever knows what the NCAA will do.

I think he coached ours for a season or two before moving to Wrs.

Trooper was the RB coach here when Houston and Riggs Jr had their 1000 yard seasons(same year) and we won the cotton bowl. The not knowing what the NCAA could do to him is what is keeping teams from hiring him.

Ive always liked Trooper and thought he was a good coach. With Tennessee still on somewhat NCAA probation & with the cloud hovering over Auburn & Trooper it would be a big big risk on Tennessee's part to hire him. I think it would signal the NCAA to come park on our doorstep again & they could also rule that he is ineligible to coach and then we'd really be in a fix. they could come up on August 30 and say Trooper Taylor is ineligible to coach in the NCAA and we'd have to fire him and we wouldn't have a running backs coach the day before the season starts! (And don't you know the in NCAA would love to do something like that to us!!!)

i'd take Tressel w/ show cause, and Id take CBP in 2014 (if we get rid of CCM, i like him, im just saying), but why would you bother taking a risk like TT for a positions coach? i do not understand that either. people flip out like one positions coach is going to collapse our team or take us to the playoffs (BAM, first time use).

Not neccessarily. He is getting paid by Auburn the next 2 years no matter what, and his son is about to start his senior year of high school. It is certainly not absurd to think that unless the perfect opportunity arose he would prefer to actually for once in his son's life be at home on a regular basis while collecting his Auburn paycheck.
