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.

Following the first investigation, in 2023, Taylor was warned that he could be fired if the conduct continued, according to an ESPN report. It did continue, with a second investigation a year later. But Taylor remained employed and coached the Cardinal to a second consecutive 3-9 season.

Taylor had coached Stanford for the last two seasons after replacing David Shaw, the winningest coach in program history. The Cardinal went 3-9 in back-to-back years with Taylor at the helm. However, the 56-year-old's lack of success on the field wasn't the sole reason for his ousting on Tuesday.
