You kids stay off my lawn!
Several have been right to post that this is not a time to determine if Taylor was a thug/is a thug...
But what does stick in my mind is that during the reign of coaches at the U, beginning with Schenelleberger and up through Coker, everytime the cameras were trained on the Miami sidelines you saw a bunch of guys with fifty pounds of bling-bling around their neck. Who were they? What was their connection to the university or the football program? During that same time the players behavior was unchecked... taunting, flaming and pushing the limits on celebrations were par for the course, any idea of sportsmanship and respect for the opponent was shoved aside.
Is there a correlation between how you learn to play the game, who you are encouraged to associate with and how long it takes you to mature and grow out of such associations? I don't know, but my guess is 'yes.'
