It's not about the past decade it's about the last four years. If we get top 25 level play this year then Pritchard keeps his job. If not I think he should go.

Winflop, I have no idea whether Tavita is any good as a QB coach. However, for all we know, he told Shaw two years ago that both Burns and Chryst had issues, and just didn't have "it". He may have tried his best to coach them up, but it was only marginally effective. Or he may be clueless. However, I think the sample size is two, going on three, QBs. Not a big sample size. I think you would agree that one of the problems in evaluating Tavita is that his CV is all Stanford based. There is no "outside" confirmation that he is a good coach, which makes it lots easier to say he isn't. However, I personally will defer to Shaw's judgement. If Shaw says he is what the program wants, that is good enough for me. I doubt that Shaw is the type to ever let personal loyalty substitute for competence.
As I have said before, I think Tavita will need to move on pretty soon in order to punch his ticket for more  responsible jobs in the NCAA/NFL ranks. So he may be gone next year for that reason, not that Shaw thinks he is not a good coach. I think we lack enough objective data to say that the QB issues we have had can be laid even partly at his door.
