Fired Coach Takes on ESPN in High-Stakes Defamation Battle: What They Don’t Want You to Know
Back in March the college football world got a brief shock when Stanford head coach Troy Taylor was suddenly fired following an investigation into alleged bullying within the program. Now, Taylor is looking to get some payback (literally, if he can help it).
On Thursday, Taylor announced that he will be filing a defamation lawsuit against ESPN for the network’s role in his March dismissal.
The lawsuit accuses ESPN of pushing a damaging narrative through false claims in service to destroying his career. The March 2025 article in question cited investigations from 2023 and 2024 in the wake of complaints that Taylor bullied female staff members.
