He also formerly coached at Union County High School in Union, South Carolina. Taneyhill was a quarterback for the University of South Carolina from 1992 to 1995. He set many still-standing records. Taneyhill was also known for his antics while at South Carolina. Taneyhill wore his hair in a mullet that was so long it practically obscured his name on the back of his jersey. As a Gamecocks quarterback, Taneyhill compiled 8,380 yards in total offense, completing 753 of 1,245 passes. He threw 62 touchdown passes in his career. In 2006, he led his Chesterfield High School football team to the state championship, where they lost to Carvers Bay. The next year, Taneyhill's team redeemed itself with a 13–6 win over Carvers Bay for the state title. The Rams repeated as champs in 2008. In 2009 Chesterfield won their third state title with a 36–6 win over Lamar. Taneyhill also coached at Cambridge Academy, a small, private school in Greenwood, S.C. He led the 8-man team to back-to-back state titles and a runner-up the year after. He was the quarterbacks coach at West Ashley in Charleston, S.C., for one year in between his jobs at Cambridge and Chesterfield. Taneyhill was also the high school coach of NFL first-round draft pick Gaines Adams, who went on to play for Tampa Bay and Chicago during his professional career before Adams' untimely death in 2010.
