Troy Taylor's firing opens 30-day transfer portal for Stanford football

March 25, 2025

By Pete Nakos, On3 Sports: Stanford football fired head coach Troy Taylor on Tuesday, days after an ESPN report said the coach was twice the subject of third-party investigations into complaints from athletic department employees over hostile behavior. Former Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck, who now serves as the program’s general manager, fired Taylor on Tuesday.

Taylor was hired in December 2022 to replace the winningest head coach in school history, David Shaw. He went 3-9 in each of his two seasons, failing to make a bowl game. He was previously the head coach at Sacramento State.

Taylor’s firing comes in the middle of March and seven days away from spring practice. The Cardinal will now have to face the transfer portal. Luck’s decision to fire Taylor opens the 30-day transfer portal for Stanford players. In an unprecedented situation, Luck will be charged with keeping the program together as no interim head coach has been pegged yet.
