In the past I haven't agreed with the fire coaches/fire the AD people because I think there are natural fluctuations and it was extraordinary to have a coach who won 2 Rose Bowls. And just in 2017 Stanford played a very close Pac 12 Championship game.

And earlier in the fall, I thought -- OK, no need to rush the firing/hiring process, but now it's the end of February, spring ball is started, and it's the exact same staff.

But my biggest frustration is that there have been no noises yet of replacing AD Bernard Muir. AD's come and go -- in fact, Muir will soon be Stanford's longest-serving AD! Most of them serve around 6 years and Muir is coming up on 10. Only 1 Stanford AD has served a longer term than Muir!?

The only positive explanation I can think of is that it takes time to find a new AD. 

But 10 years is plenty, nothing wrong with pushing out an AD after 10. Time for some new ideas. Because we also may need a new Men's BB coach and I don't want Muir to pick that candidate.

I think more pressure should have been applied on Shaw. I think the D Line and Strength and Conditioning coaches have had plenty of time to prove themselves.

Anyway, the team is promising a lot. The sound bites sound passionate. New defensive scheme. Some great returnees. We will see.
