Taylor, a Michigan State assistant, was hired in late March,[2][3] following the resignation of longtime head coach Lon Stiner a month earlier.[4][5] Taylor was a native of Ann Arbor, Michigan, and played for the Michigan Wolverines in the late 1920s.[6] At the time of his hiring, he told the press: "I'm a Michigan man and I like the Michigan system. We'll have the single wingback, in all probability, with my own variations."[7]
