"With the hiring of Troy Taylor, the Hornets have an offensive guru who, I believe, will take the football team to the playoffs and beyond in the passing-minded Big Sky Conference," Sacramento State President Robert S. Nelsen said in a statement announcing the hiring.
Taylor replaces Jody Sears, who was fired this past season after going 20-35 in five years with the Hornets.
A press conference to officially introduce Taylor will happen later in the week.
