The Golden Bears hired longtime NFL coach and Berkeley alumnus Ron Rivera as its GM in March, and boosters want the former Carolina Panthers and Washington Commanders coach to have a similar level of control over the football program as Luck has in Palo Alto according to a report by SFGATE.

Former Indianapolis Colts' head coach Frank Reich is joining former quarterback Andrew Luck and the Stanford football program. Luck is currently the GM of the Stanford football program in the ever-evolving college football landscape. Reich will now be the team's interim head coach for the 2025 season, according to ESPN's Pete Thamel.

Luck is shouldering the load, while Reich’s only objective for the rest of 2025 is to coach football. Luck said his role as general manager at Stanford continues to prioritize fundraising for NIL and creating new revenue streams to keep up in this fast-paced era of college athletics.
