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.

Stanford was in the market for a new head coach after firing Troy Taylor due to his workplace behavior. Taylor reportedly bullied and belittled female athletic staffers. The university initially stood by Taylor, but reversed course a few days later, firing the head coach. In two seasons with Stanford, Taylor went 6-18.

Following the first investigation, in 2023, Taylor was warned that he could be fired if the conduct continued, according to an ESPN report. It did continue, with a second investigation a year later. But Taylor remained employed and coached the Cardinal to a second consecutive 3-9 season.

Andrew Luck played for Reich in 2018, passing for 4,593 yards, 39 touchdowns and 15 interceptions as the Colts went 10-6 and made the AFC playoffs.

Stanford general manager Andrew Luck is reportedly hiring his Indianapolis Colts coach, Frank Reich, as the Cardinal's interim coach in 2025.

Another former Carolina Panthers head coach is going back to school to get back into the game. According to ESPN college football senior writer Peter Thamel, Stanford University is hiring Frank Reich as their interim head coach.
