After 15 years as a high school coach at Gilmer, UTSA’s Jeff Traylor took a job at Texas...
UTSA head coach Jeff Traylor during the first half of an NCAA college football game against Houston, Saturday, Sept. 3, 2022, in San Antonio. With a house on Lake Gilmer and three seven-acre ponds in the backyard holding “all the fish you could ever catch,” Jeff Traylor felt content in his life as a high school football coach.
The move set Traylor down a path that wound through SMU for a season and Arkansas for two years before he landed at UTSA, using the lessons from his previous stops to build the Roadrunners into a winner. Q: How did your experience of the recruiting process as a high school coach prepare you to come at the task from the other side?I knew what I didn’t want to do, just because so many guys had come through my office, and some of them seemed like used car salesmen, and that grossed me out. I had voicemails on my phone I kept for years, just to play them, just to remind myself what I did not want to be like.
Q: What about program management at the college level? How were things different from operations at Gilmer?You have a whole lot more help in college. A lot more help. You have an academic staff here, you have a strength staff here, you have facilities, you have nutrition. In high school, you do all of that by yourself. That's all you. You just do everything. From washing the clothes, to lining the field, to mowing the field. Now, as Gilmer went, we got all of those things taken care of.
