New Ute offensive coordinator brings dynamic, simple offense to SLC

SALT LAKE CITY — In one week, Utah football returns for the 2017 season with fall camp.

But class is already in session at the U. under first-year offensive coordinator Troy Taylor.

Don’t stop at the campus bookstore before his class, though; Taylor isn’t a fan of playbooks.

“It’s the most over-published, unread book,” joked Taylor, who used to give out books at Eastern Washington — before players stopped giving them back.

Taylor wants a dynamic attack, and so do the Utes. The 49-year-old spent one season as a college coach, when he was the co-offensive coordinator, quarterbacks coach and lead play caller at Eastern Washington, before taking over at Utah.
