Once upon a time I thought Stanford could not afford to compete for top tier OCs, but now I suspect the money is there.   Shaw could even see the benefits of carving out some of his salary to secure a good OC to extend his time as head coach.  The team failures of 2019 and 2021 may actually make the hire easier.   Someone might agree to come in as long as they can implement their own system.

And David Shaw is never, ever going to agree to allow that, so it is a moot point. If the AD attempts to say "Do it or else", I am virtually certain Shaw takes "or else".

Good.  Let him suffer the "or else" consequence.  I think he'd opt to keep the $$.

All this talk of an OC and Tavita moving on is a JOKE because the offense at Stanford is 100% Shaw's baby (and it ain't a pretty one, that's for sure).  If Shaw canned Tavita, he would be admitting that he himself SUCKS at installing an O and calling a game, which he plainly does.  It's much better for him to simply say "we need a change on O, and I've hired __ to run it."  Until that (at least) is done; Stanford's chances of resurrection from the trash heap are ZERO.
