Stanford fired football coach Troy Taylor on Tuesday, less than a week after an ESPN report revealed that Taylor had twice been the subject of third-party investigations into complaints from athletic department employees over hostile behavior.

Luck was hired in November by new school President Jon Levin to rebuild Stanford's struggling football program after four straight seasons with a 3-9 record, including the last two with Troy Taylor in charge.

Andrew Luck almost retired one year earlier. Entering the 2018 season -- his seventh with the Indianapolis Colts -- fresh off of a 2017 campaign spent on the sidelines due to a shoulder injury, Luck had serious questions about his future.
