Mark Taylor, the football coach at the University of Georgia, has been in the news for all the wrong reasons since videos of him using racist language were posted on social media.
Taylor has been getting a lot of bad press online, so the football community has been interested in learning more about his past. Some people were even surprised to learn that the trainer with the bad language works with young athletes, most of whom are black.
Taylor is from Houston County and works as a football coach in Georgia. He is also the owner of Speed Edge Sports in Macon, Georgia, which trains high school athletes who want to go to college. His training camp uses space that he rents from a Christian school in the area.
Who is Joe Burrow’s girlfriend Olivia Holzmacher? They have been together since they met at Ohio State University and fell in love:
Taylor has a history of problematic behavior, however. Reports say that Taylor was a teacher in the Houston County School District for a long time.
But a spokesperson for the district said that he had not taught in the district since 2007 when he was kicked out and put on probation for following a teacher.
The mother of one student said that he once called her daughter a “redbone.” Other parents have also complained about how Taylor treats black athletes and how they are treated differently than white athletes.
Taylor has a Twitter account, but he hasn’t used it much lately. According to his bio, he played at the University of Georgia and has been named Georgia High School Association Coach of the Year six times.

On his Facebook page, he has pictures with black athletes like Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, Alabama’s Nick Saban, Florida’s former coach Dan Mullen, and Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney.
There is no information about Taylor’s personal life or whether he has children. It seems, however, that he engages in physical activity outside.
After Taylor’s racist comments in a video went viral, Central Fellowship Christian Academy cut ties with his business earlier on Wednesday.
Mark Taylor got in trouble after a video of him using racial slurs against the city of Atlanta went viral on social media.
Taylor was seen joking in more than one video clip about hiring someone to hunt down and hang black people in Atlanta. He also makes it sound like there are too many black people living in the city.
In one video, you can hear Mark Taylor say:
“Staying at the Omni hotel over by the CNN. Ain’t seen a white person in sight. Homeless ones on the street. Every restaurant looking in here is black. Every car beside me is black. They can have Atlanta. It used to be a fun place to come to up here. They can have that place right here.”
People think that in the videos, he talks to a person named Ro.
“Look at that n***** try and pull out in front of me right here. Hey, did you see that – that tree right there. Do you see that tree right there. Ro will hang you from that tree.”
Mark Taylor records himself in a hotel room for another video. The clip then gets worse when he starts ranting about bringing up chicken wings, a “redbone,” and a “white girl” at a “cheap rate.”
“Got the Glock by the bed. Yeah, let me go, room service, I need yall n****** to bring chicken wings and two h***, referencing a derogatory term for women.”
Local news authorities have called, emailed, and stopped by Taylor’s house for comment, but he has declined to respond.
