Brian Kelly went 4-8, cleaned house, and returned to Top 10 status. But these changes came from himself, not after being pressured to make changes.

Patently untrue. Kelly was given an ultimatum by the AD (along with immense pressure from boosters) to clean house precisely because of how disastrous that year was. It was him or his staff.

Turns out having an AD who cares what the boosters think and actually watches the on-field product critically is helpful in this kind of situation.

I've been banging this drum ever since it happened.

Your comment on the AD makes my point.  I don’t know how many frequent this board or the other Stanford board, but my guess is if a poll were taken the results would be unanimous that Shaw should go.  Season ticket holders have spoken with there non renewals.  Others have spoken. With their absence.  Yet, I fear it won’t matter.  I hope I’m wrong.  Because otherwise, it is confirmation that the Admin does not care.  

One wild card - the players. If there is a mass exodus, the Administration may not be able to ignore it.  They may have to act.
