Taylor played at Tennessee during his college days. That rivalry is certainly a heated one, so he pulled no punches in reaction to the sport-altering news. Taylor was a fan favorite defender during his time in Knoxville. 

Now, he's a top contributor at the NFL level for New Orleans. He's a young, fiery cornerback that is an important piece for the Saints' future on defense. 

Saban's replacement is expected to be announced sooner than later. Keep an eye out for that news to break before you know it.
