Taylor, a Michigan State assistant, was hired in late March, following the resignation of longtime head coach Lon Stiner a month earlier. Taylor was a native of Ann Arbor, Michigan, and played for the Michigan Wolverines in the late 1920s. 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."
