That moment stuck with me his humility, his service, his belief in lifting up the people around him. And now they're back on the same team."
"Pritchard, 38, returns to the Farm after three seasons coaching quarterbacks for the Washington Commanders, where he helped guide Jayden Daniels to AP Offensive Rookie of the Year honors and a trip to the 2024 NFC Championship Game. For Pritchard, whose Stanford roots date back to 2005, the chance to return as head coach was both emotional and deeply personal."
Andrew Luck, as Stanford's general manager, introduced Tavita Pritchard as the 37th head football coach after an eight-month coaching search. Pritchard, 38, returns to Stanford after three seasons coaching quarterbacks for the Washington Commanders, where he helped guide Jayden Daniels to AP Offensive Rookie of the Year and a 2024 NFC Championship Game appearance. Pritchard's Stanford roots date back to 2005; he spent 13 years on the staff under Jim Harbaugh and David Shaw, rising from defensive assistant to offensive coordinator. Pritchard delivered a memorable 41-point upset of No. 2 USC in his first start and says the return is emotional and personal as he seeks to build belief, brotherhood, and competition.
