On Tuesday, Luck made his most consequential move yet, firing head coach Troy Taylor. The decision, which he made in concert with University leadership but ultimately was his, came just days after ESPN reported Taylor was under investigation for employee abuse — a probe that had not been publicly known prior to the story's publication.

The college football coaching carousel doesn't stop spinning, not even in mid-March. On Tuesday afternoon, ESPN's Pete Thamel, along with Kyle Bonagura, first reported that Stanford fired its head football coach Troy Taylor.
