The prodigal original. Taylor was there at the very beginning in 2004, suffered through some of the league’s earliest and most character-building seasons, and then did the most rational thing possible: he left for almost twenty years.

Career record: 11-29-1. A .268 winning percentage that somehow still feels optimistic when you look at the point differentials. He never made the playoffs, never collected a trophy, and once scored a crisp 28 points in a single week. The man has seen things.

After three seasons of foundational struggle, Taylor vanished into the wilderness (or at least out of the league) and stayed gone long enough that some of the newer managers probably thought “Jasin” was just Keith’s last name. Now, in 2026, he’s back.

No one knows what version of Taylor is returning. The 2004–06 tape suggests a manager who was still learning the game the hard way. The nearly two-decade gap suggests either profound growth… or a man who has been waiting a very long time to settle old scores.

Either way, the league’s most unexpected reunion is here. Welcome back, Taylor. Try not to score 28 again.
