Excellent press conference today with Coach Manny. Focus is on the current team, keeping them together. I liked hearing that lots.
Gave much gratitude to Penn State, which was also nice to hear. Even a shout out to Cutcliffe. (And Elko. [-( )

Well this sucks. Trooper Taylor is following Elko to A&M. Running backs are going to be a major concern for me now, as we've lost our two top RBs and now their coach.

I didn’t see that coming. With Trooper being a Cutcliffe holdover, this is a total surprise.

Agreed. I expected him to stay. Especially tough since he is (was?) the acting head coach.

Yea, this is stunning and disappointing, especially after Nina made him interim HC. Zero respect for Elko from me.

Good news. Trooper Taylor is not jumping ship, at least not yet. So he will for sure be the coach for the bowl, and he still may be at Duke after. It boils down to if Diaz wants to hire him, and then at that point he'll have a decision to make.
