Matt Doyle, a longtime member of the Stanford football program, has resigned from his position as the associate general manager, per Ben Parker of On3|Rivals. He has held multiple positions with the program for the last 26 years.

Doyle was the associate general manager, football administration, player development and alumni relations. He oversaw day-to-day operations of the football program while also serving as the director of player development, according to his bio.

Doyle’s other repsonsiblities were managing the football budget, team travel, bowl game coordinator, and the Stanford Football Camps and Clinics. He was also responsible for game day management, community outreach, and the coordination of planning of team events related to the football program.

Stanford promoted Matt Doyle to his current position in February. At the time, Andrew Luck, former Stanford QB and current Stanford football general manager, praised Doyle for his work over the years.

“Matt is an incredibly valuable piece of the Stanford football program, and in many ways is the glue of our staff,” said Luck. “He provides unique expertise across many fields and has a work ethic that is unmatched. I’m thrilled for him to begin in this new Associate General Manager role.”

Doyle was previously the senior associate athletics director and director of football operations and player development. He was promoted to the position prior to the 2015 season. From 2013 to 2015, Doyle was the associate athletics director and director of football operations.

Before that role, Doyle was the assistant athletic director and director of football operations from 2007 to 2013. Before 2007, Doyle worked in a dual role with recruiting and football operations.

Doyle saw a lot of highs and lows with Stanford football over his 26 years. He saw the program thrive under head coach David Shaw, who led Stanford to five 10-plus-win seasons from 2011 to 2016. The 2015 season was arguably the best during that run, as Stanford won the Pac-12, claimed the Rose Bowl title, and finished third in the AP and Coaches Poll.
