They may live to regret it. Good luck.

I used to like the Stanford style of football. That’s apparently going to come to an end.

I remember how he refused to use Zack Moss. That was so frustrating

[concerned]

IIRC, Taylor’s offense didn’t work at Utah because the Pac 12 defenses were bigger, faster, and stronger and could shut it down. I suspect he will have the same problem at Stanford, plus I don’t think he will be able to recruit those players to Stanford. Thats why Stanford played Stanford style football. It played to their recruiting strengths,

The problem Taylor had at Utah was the oline. Harding and Taylor just didn’t mesh.

Fun fact…Stanford will be hiring a new head coach next year also.

It’ll be fun watching stanford run bubble screens and RPOs repeatedly.

Well good for him. That first year with him was quite a honeymoon phase. By year two I wanted to rip my hair out.

Those defenses Utah had deserved better. I remember saying all we had to was average 35 to win most games….sigh.

hope that 35 was a typo

That’s good news for us.
Hope he has a big influence on their play calling:)

I don’t think he should be judged by his short time with us. Seems like he was clashing with Whitt immediately and his offense never got to enter its final form
