On the topic of Muir being fired, if you only look at football I can understand the sentiment.  And perhaps football is all that's important.  But Stanford fall sports in general are having phenomenal success.  Does Muir get evaluated for athletics at Stanford other than football?

Football is first among equals. By far. It matter$ more. If Muir muffs football, he flunks. Period. #MuirAndShawMustGo

This is my view too but he's muffed men's basketball, alumni goodwill, and the integrity of the school too. Varsity Blues could have been enough on its own. Football is actually a bit down the list of reasons to fire him as those failures fall on Shaw's shoulders and are harder to address if you're in Muir's shoes than some of the other failings. But the real point is he's failed in most ways that matter.

Add to this his complete financial mismanagement of the department, spending like a drunken sailor as if conference revenues from the network were going to grow when they were collapsing

Also, Varsity Blues ***SHOULD*** have been enough on its own

As a result of all these fiascos Muir has no credibility with the alumni base and potential donors. Who in their right mind would give money to this guy without very specific conditions? Plus what football or MBB coach would come to wrok for a guy with limited credibility and an uncertain future?

He should have been gone after Varsity Blues came to light or at the latest when the 11 sports were reinstated.
