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.

When Andrew Luck decided Stanford needed to change its head football coach at an unusual time in late March, he turned to a familiar face. Luck reached out to his former NFL coach Frank Reich – who was in the middle of a shopping trip at Costco – and made the pitch for Reich to coach the team for one season to give Luck more time to find a long-term replacement.
