IMO this is a horrible "look" for Stanford. Would TT have been fired if the stories about his misconduct had not become public? Events give the perception that Stanford's behavior is not guided by doing the "right thing" even when nobody is looking. It will be interesting to know if TT is getting paid his buyout or was "fired for cause" and will not. I am guessing the former. Stanford doesn't want to face a lawsuit, even if it one they would "win".

Honestly, it's not ideal, but it's still the better outcome than if he had remained, so I'll take it.

Agreed.  The important thing here is for Stanford football to have a direction and strong leadership.  Luck making this call gives that.  Very quickly, nobody will care about the progressive discipline issues or about the meeting with the team where Luck stood behind Taylor staying.  I think there is a good chance that the meeting with the team caused enough players to complain or give indications that they are going to look elsewhere that Luck felt he had to make a move.  For football coaches with such high salaries, it is better to make the move when the situation on the ground calls for it.  Never wait.  I hope they can find a good coach to get us back on a competitive track.  

Cheers,
