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 football GM Andrew Luck said he wasn't sure "how little external pressure or constituent " he felt in the wake of ESPN's report about Troy Taylor but did have "some clarity after some time" that the program needed a reset.

Luck moved quickly in his new role as general manager of the football program, hiring Reich less than a week after making the decision to fire Taylor following a report that became public saying Taylor had been investigated twice for allegedly mistreating staffers.
