The coach of former Stanford Troy Taylor is struggling with the investigation

Former Stanford The head football coach Troy Taylor issued a statement about his shooting on Wednesday, with findings of two separate investigations in a workplace carried out over his two years as the head coach.

Taylor said he was not released for a reason and called the “unfair” shooting coverage. In a statement Posted on X Ross DeLnger from Yahoo SportsTaylor acknowledged that both investigations were initiated after his complaints were made to his behavior in the workplace.

In his statement, Taylor did not recognize any unlawful conduct, although he said he had not received the text of two investigative reports in which more complainants were quoted.

ESPN received copies of both investigations and were first informed about the findings. Taylor described the first investigation that was closed in mid -2023, which includes only one complaint and one complainant.

While the investigation was originally started in response to one complainant who allegedly gender bias and a “cultural problem in football”, the investigation eventually included interviews with at least 20 Stanford athletic departments regarding four charges against Taylor. Three accusations concerning Belittling and inappropriate behavior towards several women were considered merit. The investigator found “insufficient evidence” concerning the original complaint.

“Although I disagreed with (first) complaints, I took it seriously and fully cooperated.” Taylor said in his statement. “(First) investigation I have never seen before has come to the conclusion that I have not acting unfairly.”

Taylor called the media coverage of his “unfair, bad and unlike my professional record and the person I have been and always.”

ESPN addressed Taylor’s lawyer for another comment, but did not receive an immediate answer. In addition, Stanford did not immediately answer ESPN questions about Taylor’s statement.

Taylor was released in March, a week after ESPN announced that Taylor was bullying and limited more female athletic employees, trying to have the NCAA regulations remedied after warning him of violating the rules and repeatedly accepted “inappropriate” comments on another woman about her appearance.

Andrew Luck, the CEO of the team and the former stellar Quarterback, said at that time that the team needs a “reset”.

“Since the beginning of my role of the CEO, I thoroughly evaluated the entire Stanford football program. It was clear that some aspects of the program need to be changed,” Luck said in a statement. “Moreover, in recent days, in previous years, attention has been significant attention to Stanford investigation related to coach Taylor.”

The investigation began after more employees filed complaints against Taylor for what they called enemy and aggressive behavior, as well as personal attacks, report reports. The school hired Kate Weaver Patterson of KWP Consulting & Mediation to investigate in the spring of 2023.

After the first investigation, Taylor signed a warning letter 14 February 2024, who acknowledged that he could be released if the negotiations continued, according to documents. Other complaints were documented in the second investigation in the first half of 2024, but Taylor remained at work.

The second investigation quoted the evidence “that it is a permanent pattern concerning the behavior of coach Taylor”. It was carried out last June and July Timothy O’Brien, head of the advisor for Libby, O’Brien, Kingsley & Champion. O’Brien, who advised several Division I and Power 5 programs, said he had never met with this “tangible level of hostility and contempt” for the University of Regulations.

“Even during the conversation with me, when he talked about compliance problems, coach Taylor’s tone was strong and aggressive,” O’Brien wrote.

He called Taylor’s treatment of an official compliance with the “inappropriate, discriminatory on the basis of her sex,” he said he has a “significant negative impact” on employees. O’Brien concluded that Taylor did against compliance with the employees “searching for her removal from her assigned duties” after aroused concerns about violating the NCAA rules concerning illegal practices and eligibility of the player.

O’Brien outlined possible disciplinary procedures, including termination, within the Articles of Association of NCAA, if the employees of the retaliation, “such as intimidation, threat or harassment of an individual who has claimed”.

Taylor had a back-to-back 3-9 season before he was released. Previously, he was the head coach in Sacramento.
