Stanford just made a bold move — hiring Frank Reich as head coach on a one-year deal… in April.
Four straight 3-9 seasons. Roster hits from the portal. But now… a fresh direction.
And not just anyone. Frank Reich — the coach behind Andrew Luck’s rise and Nick Foles’ Super Bowl magic.
The connection is Luck himself.
Now serving as Stanford’s GM, he played a pivotal role in bringing Reich to Palo Alto.
There’s now vision, trust and alignment.
This isn’t a desperation play — it’s a strategic reset.
A chance to stabilize. Build culture. Develop the quarterback room.
And maybe… surprise some people.
Stanford’s betting smart. Reich brings leadership, NFL experience, and instant credibility. Short-term deal. Long-term vision.
It’s a new era on The Farm.
