The Head Coach at Sac State appears headed to Stanford. He was the DC and linebacker coach under Taylor at Sac State

Link to tweet from ace reporter Pete Thamel claiming that Andy Thompson will be Stanford's assistant head coach, co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach: https://x.com/PeteThamel/status/1865098991441953274

My two cents: I guess it's OK. Probably meant to send a message that the status quo isn't good enough. But without a similar change to the offensive staff--which may be forthcoming, for all I know--I wonder how it will be received in the locker room.

EDIT: The Sacramento Bee got a quote from TT about the hire:

 Sacramento State announced Thompson’s resignation Friday morning in a statement, ending his mixed stint with the Hornets, and Taylor confirmed to The Sacramento Bee via text message that Thompson “is joining me as assistant head coach/co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach” at Stanford. 

Added Taylor to The Bee, “It is fantastic. I’m fired up. I’m thrilled to have Andy Thompson join our staff. Andy is truly one of the brightest defensive minds that I have ever been around. His players love playing for him ad he will be a great resource to me in guiding our program.”
