Andrew Luck, the former NFL and Stanford QB, is the new general manager at Stanford. Luck decided to move on from Taylor and begin a new chapter of Cardinal football, especially after the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/ncaa-football/stanford-football-news-investigation-accuses-troy-taylor-bullying-female-staffers">allegations involving the Stanford coach</a>.</p><p>However, the timing of the move is interesting, given it’s the end of March and there are very few coaches available.</p><p>Still, the Stanford football program has some options, and Stewart Mandel of The Athletic <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6234463/2025/03/27/mandels-mailbag-stanford-coaching-search-top-college-football-games/" rel="noopener">named a couple options</a> in his latest mailbag.</p><p>“(Jeff) Monken for one would make a lot of sense at Stanford, but Group of 5 guys in general would likely be less concerned about leaving their current teams in the spring. If you pass on this Power 4 job, who’s to say you’ll get another crack?” Mandel wrote.</p><p>Monken is currently the head coach at Army, where he has been for the last 11 years. He has compiled an 82-57 record and a 5-1 mark in bowl games, so he has Army playing well seemingly every year. In this case, moving to a Power 4 conference such as the ACC could have some appeal as Stanford searches for a new coach.</p><p>On the other hand, Mandel has another idea, and it is current San Jose State head coach Ken Niumatalolo.</p><p>“If not Monken, there’s another former service academy coach not far south on the 101 right now: San Jose State’s Ken Niumatalolo, Navy’s former coach of 16 seasons, took the Spartans to a bowl in his first season while running a full-on passing offense under offensive coordinator Craig Stutzmann. I don’t think you could go wrong with either Niutmatalolo or Monken, whose team just won 12 games last season,” Mandel wrote.</p><p>The current San Jose State coach was at Navy from 2007 until 2022 before being an assistant at UCLA and then taking the San Jose State job. While there aren’t a lot of options, both of these candidates have experience that could be available to Stanford.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Luck <a href="https://x.com/PeteThamel/status/1904582169546125361" rel="noopener">immediately addressed the decision</a>.</p><p>“After continued consideration it is evident to me that our program needs a reset,” Luck said, via Pete Thamel of ESPN. “In consultation with university leadership, I no longer believe that Coach Taylor is the right coach to lead our football program.”</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/ncaa-football/stanford-football-news-andrew-luck-returns-football-cardinals-new-general-manager">Luck, who took over as the general manager of Stanford football in November</a>, made the big decision and will now look for a replacement.</p><p>The investigations found Taylor had been “inconsistent with the standards” of Stanford in his behavior, according to Morrison. The accusations were that Taylor was bullying and belittling female staffers. He received a warning letter that he could be let go if the behavior continued, and Luck ultimately made the decision to let Taylor go on Tuesday.</p><p>Taylor was the head coach of Stanford for two seasons, going 3-9 in each of them. Luck will be tasked with finding a new coach to help a program that is in an interesting spot. Stanford is now in the ACC after getting lost in the shuffle as a result of Pac-12 schools leaving for the Big Ten and Big 12. Geographically, it is an awkward fit for Stanford, as most of the schools are on the other side of the country. But it is still a power conference, so it is still a high level of competition.</p><p>It is also an interesting time to be hiring a new head coach, as most programs are preparing for their spring games, so losing a member of a coaching staff at this time could throw a wrench into other schools’ plans. Regardless, Stanford should still be an attractive job for prospective head coaching candidates.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Reports indicate a first investigation began early 2024.</p><p>“Stanford head football coach Troy Taylor bullied and belittled female athletic staffers, sought to have an NCAA compliance officer removed after she warned him of rules violations and repeatedly made ‘inappropriate’ comments to another woman about her appearance, according to documents from a pair of investigations obtained by ESPN.”</p><p>Thai reports that Taylor signed a warning letter on Feb. 14, 2024 indicating that he understood if the alleged bullying continued he could lose his job as the Stanford head coach.
