Sources: Stanford hiring Frank Reich as interim HC for '25

Stanford is hiring veteran NFL coach Frank Reich as the school's interim football coach for the 2025 season, sources told ESPN on Monday.

Both sides have agreed it will be only a one-season deal, sources told ESPN. Stanford will launch a national search to find a permanent replacement for fired coach Troy Taylor at the end of the 2025 season.

Taylor was fired last week amid findings by two outside firms that he had 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.
