Luck moved quickly in his new role as general manager of the football program, hiring Reich less than a week after making the decision to fire Taylor following a report that became public saying Taylor had been investigated twice for allegedly mistreating staffers.

Andrew Luck and Stanford hired Frank Reich to serve as its interim head coach for the 2025 college football season.

Stanford is planning to take their time finding a new full-time head coach after they fired Troy Taylor, but they will have a former NFL head coach leading their team in the meantime.
