Luck seemingly initiated the firing of his football coach, but he reportedly stood behind Taylor during a recent team meeting

Stanford has fired football coach Troy Taylor amid allegations he mistreated staff members during his two years with the Cardinal.

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.
