Report: Utah OC Troy Taylor to be named Sacramento State head coach

SALT LAKE CITY — The coaching carousel continues as the University of Utah football program is expected to lose another coach before its bowl game on Dec. 31.

Offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Troy Taylor has reportedly accepted a head coaching position at Sacramento State, a lower-division program, according to footballscoop.com. Taylor was linked to the job last week as one of a handful of candidates looking to be hired for the position. Sacramento State has yet to officially announce Taylor as its newest head coach.

Taylor was hired on at Utah ahead of the 2017-18 season to be Utah’s offensive coordinator after head coach Kyle Whittingham let go of long-time assistant Aaron Roderick.
