When evaluating the poor state of the softball program, one shouldn't forget that what Rittman did was bad enough that the NCAA put a show-cause penalty on him and he caused half of Stanford's first ever major NCAA violations report.
Muir really had no choice but to get rid of him.

If that is the case CTcard, then if the job ever opens up again, coaching candidates would seemingly recognize that, and not turn down the job because of how they felt Coach Rittman was treated. That certainly happened in 2014, and it remains to be seen if that would happen again.

I also disagree slightly with Mick in that the recruiting has not been very bad; we have two top 50 recruits in the junior class, and 4 top 100 recruits in the freshman class. This team has talent. It is the player development that has been comically bad, when you hear that some players got more out of their high school practices than their practices at Stanford.
