In April 1949, Kip Taylor was hired as Oregon's State's head football coach, following the resignation earlier in the year of longtime coach Lon Stiner. Taylor was a native of Ann Arbor, Michigan, who played football for Michigan in the 1920s. At the time of his hiring, Taylor told the press: "I'm a Michigan man and I like the Michigan system. We'll have the single wingback, in all probability, with my own variations."[2]
