Stanford general manager Andrew Luck fired football coach Troy Taylor today.
The GM can fire the coach? Can Chad Bowden fire Lincoln Riley?
Now a couple things about Stanford. It doesn’t currently have an athletic director, so the decision fell to Luck.
But the question remains why did Stanford keep Taylor following two investigations into his behavior but only fire him after ESPN reported on the investigations last week?
The investigations were concluded in July.
- JuJu Watkins’ injury moved USC from 8/1 to win the NCAA Tournament to 25/1 according to BetOnline.
UConn, which is a No. 1 seed, is actually the favorite to win the national title:

Stanford does have an AD. He announced his resignation last month, but is there until next June. So, Luck does have an enormous amount of power over the football program.

Scooter,
If bowden were able to fire Riley, where will he find $70 million? Also, if he does fire him then why do we need Jen Cohen? Let Bowden take over as AD and have SC save a few million.

My understanding is that Jen is fully aware of the problem with LR, which is one reason why she hired Bowden away from ND.

Good opportunity to try to grab David Bailey of Stanford. He is an outstanding linebacker and we need a linebacker. Bailey played for Mater Dei.

The Taylor firing is reminiscent of the Bohn firing. Not a lot of specifics. Just general allegations that he was aggressive with the female staff members. Sounds like BS.

Oh, not exactly Stanford administrative news but…..
Huge DL from Mater Dei Topui decommits from Oregon and is now predicted to head to USC
He won’t be the last to leave Nike U for USC
At USC, the GM may not fire the head coach but he sure gets hom top players that said head coach couldn’t or wouldn’t recruit

Oops! “UConn, which is a No. 1 seed, is actually the favorite to win the national title.”
They’re actually a 2 seed, as shown in the graphic showing the new odds.
