Former Tennessee assistant coach Trooper Taylor is leaving his job as co-offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach with Oklahoma State to join Gene Chizik's staff at Auburn as assistant head coach in charge of wide receivers.
"This is a chance to get back in the SEC," Taylor told the News Sentinel.
He also cited working with new Auburn offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn a plus.
Taylor could receive an additional title at Auburn, according to a report in The Oklahoman.
Taylor spent four seasons with the Vols, coaching wide receivers and running backs before leaving for Oklahoma State after the 2007 season.
