Well, like I said there was talk on the Auburn boards and elsewhere that he was being considered. Auburn undoubtedly feels a little pressure after getting a bad reputation for taking kids kicked out of other programs, so maybe they did take the high road here. But the history speaks for itself and Malzahn's standards for accepting historical trouble makers are far from pristine.

I'm more than a little skeptical when they people say, yeah we'll take some guys with known character issues, but we have an internal standard that is firm. Especially when the player goes to their more attractive cross state rival. That makes their newly minted stand on domestic violence look self-serving.

I honestly think that Garner wanted him really badly (I believe he recruited him to UGA). I would guess that he was pushing for Taylor, but ultimately that decision lies with the head coach and Malzahn didn't want him.
