Are they going to run into branding issues due to a mix up with the golf brand? Legal trouble possibly? I like the team and what they are doing but my first thought was the other brand.
LRC note. The thread title was initially just Taylor Made Elite but we changed it to make it more descriptive. Here is the announcement from instagram.

The ego you must have to name the club after the coach....tinman level arrogance and we saw how that ended. Diljeet Elite?
Bad branding because the athletes will always be secondary to the coach. But then again that's what Diljeet wants.

It is a cult and they do not even try to hide it. Diljeet Taylor is a manipulator.
Her athletes only won when they were all 2-3 years older than the oldest non BYU runner competing
All of the most successful athletes she coached were recruited by the previous coach. Her results are significantly worse with people she recruited. This is especially bad when you consider all BYU women athletes get 6k per year of NIL money. How is she recruiting worse??
The previous coach won 4 NCAA titles. She inherited as good of a situation as Mike Smith.

Are you joking? When did NAU win it's most recent title before Smith became head coach? OK, when did BYU's women win their most recent title before Diljeet arrived? I'm not a big fan of DT, but this is just dumb.
Other than Wayment, who competes in a relatively weak event, her athletes aren't going to do anything at the global level, and at some point in their peak years they're going to be pressured into starting a family.

In all probability, yes. My guess is that TaylorMade (the golf company) is currently drafting a stern Cease & Desist letter informing them that they are infringing TaylorMade’s registered trademarks, and threatening a lawsuit unless they change their name. I predict that in a few weeks the team will be announcing a “rebranding” to something like Taylor Elite.

The last of those four titles was in 2002. The program had gone downhill since then.
Those top athletes who were freshmen her first year were all LDS members from Utah who would go to BYU in any case. She still recruits the top LDS members from Utah. Her freshmen this year include Utah's XC champ and Utah's best miler. And she has expanded BYU's recruiting to include top runners from out of state. Her recruiting is twice as good as the previous coach.
