The Stanford football team has made an addition to the coaching staff, bringing in a familiar face to help head coach Troy Taylor.
After a fourth straight 3-9 season, changes within the Stanford football program have started to come in numbers, with the first big change being the hiring of former quarterback Andrew Luck to be the program’s general manager. And now it looks like head coach Troy Taylor is adding some reinforcements to bolster his coaching staff, bringing in Sacramento State head coach Andy Thompson as an assistant head coach, co-defensive coordinator, and inside linebackers coach.
The defensive coordinator at Sacramento State from 2019-2022, Thompson’s head coaching tenure saw him finish with an 11-14 record, going 8-5 in his first season and leading the Hornets to the second round of the FCS playoffs. However in 2023, the Hornets struggled en route to a 3-9 finish, winning only one conference game.
“We want to thank Coach Thompson and his family for all they have done for Sacramento State football over the last five seasons," Sac State athletics director Mark Orr said. "Under his watch, the program has achieved its highest level of success. We wish him the best of luck in the future.”
