In 1984, Taylor was hired by Virginia Union as its head football coach.

1990

His teams also made the Division II playoffs in 1990 and 1991.

The 1990 team went undefeated as well.

In eight years as the head coach at Virginia Union, Taylor compiled a record of 60–19–3 for a .750 winning percentage.

From 1992 to 2007, Taylor was the head football coach at Hampton University, an HBCU located in Hampton, Virginia.

In 1994, Hampton broke the CIAA total offense record with 5,575 yards and became the first CIAA team to average more than 500 yards of total offense per game.

By the end of the 1994 season, Hampton had won 23 straight games against CIAA opponents.

In recognition of his achievement, Taylor selected as College Coach of the Year in Virginia for 1994 by the Portsmouth Sports Club.

Taylor's Hampton teams won five black college national championships (1994, 1997, 2004, 2005, and 2006), eight conference titles (three in the CIAA and five in the MEAC), the 1999 Heritage Bowl, and seven trips to the NCAA playoffs.

2004

He was also named MEAC Coach of the Year for three straight years from 2004 to 2006.

In 2004, a New Jersey newspaper published a feature story on Taylor.

Hampton athletic director Dennis Thomas asserted that Taylor had earned his chance to coach a major Division I-A program, but noted that he wouldn't be able to name a black coach out of a black university getting a chance to be a big-time college football coach, "It's never happened. What's that telling you?"

Taylor insisted that the lack of offers did not eat at him or leave him bitter.

He noted:"'I've always seen coaching more about being a ministry than about X's and O's. I want to make a difference, and I think I do that where I'm coaching now. You won't hear me bellyache. You can do anything in this world if you believe in it and map it out. If one man can do it, that means another man can do it too. Do what Sylvester Croom has done. Do what Tyrone Willingham has done. There's a road map out there, I tell the young coaches now. Follow what they did.'"

In 16 years as the head coach at Hampton, he compiled a record of 136 wins, 49 losses and one tie for a .734 winning percentage.

Taylor's tenure produced a good number of great Hampton Pirate players who went on to the National Football League and Canadian Football League.

These players were All-MEAC selections, as well as Black College Football All-Americans, and Div I-AA All-Americans during their college careers.

2006

The seniors on Taylor's 2006 team won three consecutive black college national championships.

Taylor called the 2006 squad the best in Hampton history.

He said, "Start by looking at what they've accomplished as a group. The seniors are 22–2 in the conference the past three seasons. They are 31–4 overall during that time and 38–8 for the four years. Because of their record, they went onto the field with a bull's-eye on our back every game this year. The kids survived that onslaught and got better, while dealing with a higher number of injuries than ever before."

2007

In December 2007, Taylor announced that he would leave Hampton to coach at Florida A&M University (FAMU), an HBCU in Tallahassee, Florida.

Taylor's contract with FAMU was reported to be for five years with a base salary of $225,000 and a $12,000 housing allowance.
