I'll preface by saying that I am no fan of Taylor and I want him gone yesterday
HOWEVER
If they were to let him go this week, you could argue he never had much of a chance to succeed at Stanford. Some of it is his own doing by being a jerk, but a lot of it is circumstantial.
After two years of playing with freshmen on the field, he finally has double digit mid year transfers that are ready to contribute right away, not to mention a couple QB's that he is excited about vs. the limited Daniels
All this to say, it would be tragic for him personally to be let go right when he is finally getting the things he's been asking for since 2022. I could see him pleading behind the scenes to have the opportunity to show what he can do as a coach in a "do or die" year in 2025
I don't personally view Taylor as a sympathetic figure if he gets let go, but one could make a pretty strong argument
