Interesting that Andrew Luck made the decision. The firing comes after allegations that Taylor bullied and belittled female staffers.
quote:

Less than a week ago, it was reported that Taylor had twice been the subject of third-party investigations into complaints from employees in the athletic department about his behavior. Andrew Luck, former Stanford quarterback and NFL star, became Taylor’s director superior upon becoming the program’s general manager in November. It was his decision to move on from Taylor.

Andrew Luck is the “GM”, right?

It’s ok to be an a-hole and win like Hurley. Being an a-hole and losing doesn’t work.

Captain Andrew isn’t playing around, he is ready to conquer the Atlantic Coast

Captain needs to appoint himself as head coach.

that's a no-no, easy termination decision. Pitino/UL "is a private matter". Petrino/UA "GTFO!!! We gonna get sued for $20 mil"

Or he could just not be such a colossal dick that he gets fired during spring practice.

Wouldnt this be something the AD or University president would have done in the past? Guess they’re just glorified fundraisers now

Their AD left a month ago. May or may not be related, not sure. At Stanford the university president might not know football exists.

In the case of the president there is the whole actual university to run

Taylor was a Cal Bear agent and loyalist determined to sink the Stanford program. Captain Andrew Luck identified and eliminated the traitor.

I saw Taylor play when he was at Cal. Four-year starter and threw for over 8,000 yards. Drafted by the Jets and only played in a handful of games.

I hope Luck can find a HC who can turn the program around to the glory days of 5 and 6-win seasons. The one selling point that Stanford has is that it’s the top-rated FBS school academically and has a strong alumni presence in Silicon Valley.
