Stanford head coach Troy Taylor reacts as he watches the video board during the first half of an NCAA college football game against SMU in Stanford, Calif., Saturday, Oct. 19, 2024. AP Photo/Jeff ChiuLuck released a statement on the move Tuesday morning that read, in part:
"After continued consideration it is evident to me that our program needs a reset. In consultation with university leadership I no longer believe that Coach Taylor is the right coach to lead our football program. Coach Taylor has been informed today and the change is effective immediately."
ESPN reported last week that Taylor had been investigated twice since taking over before the 2023 season over allegations of hostile and aggressive behavior, as well as personal attacks, against female staff members.
"I willingly complied with the investigations, accepted the recommendations that came out of them, and used them as a learning opportunity to grow in leadership and how I interact with others," Taylor said in a statement released by the school. "I look forward to continuing to work collaboratively and collegially with my colleagues so that we can achieve success for our football program together."
"The University received complaints regarding Coach Taylor and a third party investigated the matter thoroughly. Last summer, the University took appropriate measures, Coach Taylor received coaching, and he has committed to nurturing the respectful working environment that is essential to the success of all our athletics programs."
The Cardinal went 3-9 in each of Taylor's two seasons as coach. He was hired by Stanford in 2022 after a successful stint as the head coach at Sacramento State.
