This article is dated yesterday. It may be a bit unfair to Andrew Luck, but the following quote seems to illustrate two things:

Luck didn’t respond to a request for comment from ESPN.com, even though Luck is Taylor’s immediate supervisor. Luck also served on the committee that hired Taylor in 2022.
Making sure Taylor complies with the school’s expectations becomes one of the most important things Luck will be doing during his first year on the job. And if Taylor in any way fails to act the way the school expects, Luck needs to be ready to initiate immediately the effort to dismiss Taylor.

This quote demonstrates that Andrew Luck is starting to be "held responsible" (Fairly or not) for the football program. Taylor's conduct is now viewed by some as Luck's responsibility. I hope Luck was prepared for this. The fact the head coach reports to the GM inevitably leads to that situation. So far, it has been a honeymoon period. It appears that is over.
 
The article also indicates FWIW that TT is still expected, at a minimum, to coach the 2025 season at Stanford.

In other words whatever happens we're headed for yet another lose-lose season. If short-fuse Taylor fails to purge his inner demons then Luck gives him the boot post haste but if he behaves himself his team is still likely to show only marginal improvement at best. Either way, we're most likely looking at a new program in '26. Oh, and there will again be plenty of empty seats   sections this season. Go Cardinal.
