Tennessee has the death penalty and it would not surprise me if he gets it.

Police said Blaise A. Taylor, 27, was arrested by Deputy U.S. Marshals at the request of MNPD in Utah after a grand jury indictment. Taylor is charged with two counts of first-degree murder for the poisoning deaths of Jade Benning on March 6, 2023, her 25th birthday, and the unborn baby which Taylor is alleged to have fathered.

Benning was rushed to Vanderbilt University Medical Center by ambulance on Feb. 25, 2023, after Taylor called 911 at 9:38 p.m. and said Benning appeared to be having an allergic reaction and asked for paramedics. Police said Benning’s condition immediately became critical. Her unborn fetus died on Feb. 27. Police said Benning was not able to be interviewed by detectives before she died.

We've had our own issues, like an assistant coach who got involved with a chubby trainer, Case McCoy's video escapades, and of course Ol Freak Nasty.

But at least none of them were murderers.

 

 

We don’t always have to go through self-reflection. What you posted were reaches by comparison to damn near anything mentioned about ATM.

Agree 100%.  If you couldn't tell by the wording, I was just having some fun.  I think it's okay to poke fun at our own program.  I don't take myself or UT sports overly seriously.  It's entertainment-- it's supposed to be fun.

But I disagree with this 100%.  The capability for self-reflection is one of the prime differentiators between Longhorns, and ags.  It's a tremendous weakness for them, that they take themselves far too seriously, and are completely incapable of self-reflection.

Self reflection turns into self loathing and is a constant, tedious issue on this board, this discussion included. We’re all well aware of the shortcomings of Texas. This isn’t that thread. An assistant coach sleeping with a trainer is a horrible equivocation for numerous coaches at ATM who have run the spectrum from damned near slave trading to killing players to being fired for flagrantly racist shit to IRS scams to punching an opposing aging coach with MS in the aftermath of a game. It’s absurd. 

You also cited a player issue that one time. I didn’t even mention players in the litany of shit that runs through ATM. That’s a non sequitur and a reach.

I was going for a fun recounting, on the ATM thread, of the many terrible hires they’ve had without having to see it lawyered up with the “well, ackshually, we also did blah blah blah”.

 Maybe Sherman was okay, I can’t remember but I respected that guy.

It was fun to point and laugh at sleepy sherm but I’ll admit that he was the only coach I was happy they fired. I truly believe that he was building a solid foundation that could have made aggy a competitive program for years to come. I’m not sure they would have been national title contenders but I suspect they would have won more games than sumlin if they had kept him.

This is really fucked up. Kinda puts the Conor Stallions stuff in perspective. There's cheating and payola, and then there's Sandusky and Blaise Taylor.

Sounds like a miserable piece of shit. 

It really is crazy to witness over and over, irrespective of head coach or AD, how cultures at programs will magnetize certain types. ATM seems to draw in, and crave for, terrible humans within their football organization.

Sumlin had the OL coach and others who did the embarrassing shit at the women’s clinic, Sumlin was a hollow boozehound, and I’m sure there were other ne’er do wells on his staffs.  

Maybe Sherman was okay, I can’t remember but I respected that guy.

Franchione was running a secret newsletter program for donors and taking money on the side as he did it.

Dating back to Sherrill, we know there were numerous pieces of shit, including RC Slocum, on his staffs. Some of that shit is comical.

Slocum is celebrated today due to nostalgia, but he was Sherrill’s bagman and ran the fedex program. He was fucking his secretary and had his wife confront him about it on the practice field. His teams were busted cheating multiple times and had tv and bowl bans put on them.

Then you have the dream team of dirtbags under the Fisher regime. That group was historic.

Now The Elk hires guys like Trooper Taylor and his murdering son, the hazing enthusiast for the OL from NW and I am sure others I am forgetting.

It’s not the coach, it’s the org. TAMU football needs a veneer of oily, odiferous filth layered over it or it cannot feel whole. 

To dovetail,…Trooper Tahlor also spent time at Baylor…

See my post on the football board.  Trooper Taylor was a dirty POS 20 years ago.  When living in Knoxville, I heard stories.  

For those of us not tracking “knoxtnhorn” for his Trooper Taylor insights, can you maybe link us? I can’t see shit.

"This is really fucked up. Kinda puts the Conor Stallions stuff in perspective. There's cheating and payola, and then there's Sandusky and Blaise Taylor."

Since there is now an opening in collie station on the football staff, I have just two questions for the perfect fit. First, how many hookers are there in the Bryan/Collie Sation area? Secondly, what is Craig James doing these days?

Sorry.  Drunk post.  I had a lot of connections to the Vol football team when I lived in Knoxville.  I heard some things.  You know that argument Texas fans used to have where half the fanbase wanted us to cheat/win at all costs and the other wanted to maintain Texas' morality?  At one point, I believe TT was being considered for a job at Texas.  This would have definitely destroyed Texas' morality argument.

Okay, yeah. You don’t have to pussyfoot around it. Taylor is a known bagman and it ultimately caused his fall from grace at SEC schools in a public manner because of the level of overt corruption he took it to eventually. It’s a worthless skill now. He’s just an old asshat on a staff of asshats.
