Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Trooper Taylor
I certainly do not think assistant coaches are inherently notable, but Taylor is fairly widely known for his association with Auburn and I think he meets notability standards through  for extensive media coverage. As for saying he isn't nationally known; anecdotally, I can say that I personally do not follow SEC football particularly close, yet knew who he was. Here is some media coverage focused primarily on Taylor: ESPN: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/wire?section=ncf&id=5998081 Auburn's towel-waving Taylor keeps things loose (AP story), http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/wire?section=ncf&id=3158938 Trooper Taylor offered chance to coach at alma mater Baylor (AP story); ''USA Today'': http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/football/2007-12-20-3670418924_x.htm Vols assistant Taylor says he didn't expect a shot at being offensive coordinator (AP story); ''The Times-Picayune'' (New Orleans): http://www.nola.com/bcs/index.ssf/2011/01/trooper_taylor_reaches_mountai.html Trooper Taylor reaches mountaintop at Auburn; ''The Victoria Advocate'' (Victoria, Tx): http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=uA9ZAAAAIBAJ&sjid=N0YNAAAAIBAJ&pg=6658,3582140&dq=trooper-taylor+coach&hl=en Coaching road leads Taylor to Tennessee; ''Press-Register'' (Mobile, Al): http://www.al.com/auburnfootball/mobileregister/index.ssf?/base/sports/1234534411228010.xml&coll=3 Auburn's Trooper Taylor gets to know players, http://www.ledger-enquirer.com/2009/11/13/906596/auburn-football-wide-receivers.html Wide receivers coach Trooper Taylor says freshman DeAngelo Benton will rewrite record books, http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2010/12/report_auburn_assistant_head_c.html Auburn assistant head coach Trooper Taylor's son suing local school district over coach's hair policy; ''The Tennessean'' (Nashville): http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/tennessean/access/1748861021.html?FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Dec+16%2C+2006&author=RYAN+CALLAHAN&pub=The+Tennessean&desc=Taylor+counting+on+Meachem&pqatl=google Taylor counting on Meachem; ''Ledger-Enquirer'' (Columbus, Ga): http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=CL&s_site=ledgerenquirer&p_multi=CL&p_theme=realcities&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=12B160976C8DF5C8&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM Taylor returns to familiar place; ''The Birmingham News'' (Al): http://www.al.com/auburnfootball/birminghamnews/index.ssf?/base/sports/1251125107127110.xml&coll=2 Auburn's Trooper Taylor will play freshman wide receivers; ''The Chattanoogan'' (Tn): http://www.chattanoogan.com/articles/article_118901.asp Trooper Taylor Joins Oklahoma State Staff As Co-Offensive Coordinator; ''Waco Tribune'': http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=WTHB&p_theme=wthb&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=11DA9BF6D37E4F88&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM Ex-BU standout Trooper Taylor to coach at Oklahoma State; ''Tulsa World'' (Ok): http://www.tulsaworld.com/sportsextra/OSU/article.aspx?subjectid=93&articleid=20090105_0_0_OSUsTa338426 OSU's Taylor headed to Auburn; ''Times-Daily'' (Florence, Al): http://www.timesdaily.com/article/20091214/ARTICLES/912145032/1142?Title=Taylor-hopes-all-SEC-snub-motivates-Adams Taylor hopes all-SEC snub motivates Adams, http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=nUseAAAAIBAJ&sjid=J8cEAAAAIBAJ&pg=6371,2793588&dq=trooper-taylor+oklahoma-state&hl=en Taylor had 'vibe' before leaving (AP story); ''The Anniston Star'' (Al): http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=ANSB&p_theme=ansb&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=12B1892BFA4A7088&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM Taylor returning to Tenn. roots; WATE (Knoxville, Tn): http://www.wate.com/Global/story.asp?S=7579563 Trooper Taylor staying in Knoxville?; WHNT (Al): http://www.whnt.com/news/sns-ap-fbc--t25-bcs-auburnstrooper,0,2610249.story Trooper Taylor is Auburn's towel-waving, chestbumping dynamo (AP story); ''Daily Oklahoman'' (Oklahoma City): http://www.newsok.com/osus-trooper-taylor-joins-curtis-luper-at-auburn/article/3335439?custom_click=pod_headline_osu-sports OSU's Trooper Taylor joins Curtis Luper at Auburn
