Don't get me wrong, I'm no Trooper Taylor fan. I will give him this, however. He demonstrated that he can say things to energize his fan base without calling someone a cheater, without breaking the rules himself, without specifically calling out another coach. Saying "we are going to take care of the home state" is a far cry from saying "Saban isn't getting any more of MY recruits". Taylor comes across like a mature veteran compared to the it's-all-about-me childishness of Lance Thompson. I've got no problem with anything Taylor said. Like I said, I am no fan of his, and I'm not convinced he's that good of a position coach, but he is a good recruiter, and it's a good hire for Auburn.
