SI Suggests Troy Taylor for Stanford As a Cal fan, I'm not happy that he's probably going to Stanford, but I think he could be persuaded to join Cal if and when they finally dump Wilcox. He might struggle getting athletes who qualify for Stanford. Cal would be tough for him too but maybe a little less so as a public school.
As a Davis grad, this would be great. It would stop much of Sac's momentum and some of the dumb jocks who just want to win might transfer out.
From Troy Taylor's perspective: He doesn't have to move his family (or can get a property closer if he really wants). He knows Northern CA and he is the head coach in the conference he grew up in. I only saw him leaving for Cal, Stanford, SEC (but they wouldn't hire an FCS coach with no playoff wins prior to this year) or maybe if USCLA combo opened up.
