How can Stanford recruit a new coach until it has a strategy for football going forward?
What competent coach would accept the job without a roadmap from the administration?

Stanford should hire a coach who has a strategy for football going forward, not someone who's going to execute a roadmap from on high from a bunch of @$$clowns who don't know the first thing about football much less college athletics. I also think there are many coaches who would jump at the chance. Look at what coaching Stanford has done for the ones over the last 25 years who have been successful:
- Willingham went on to coach ND. No he didn't do well there, but his success here led to that opportunity
- Green went to the NFL and had mixed results. But again, his success here led to that opportunity
- Harbaugh took the Niners to a Super Bowl, resurrected Michigan from mediocrity, and is on cusp of making the playoffs
- I hope Shaw goes on to have success elsewhere, and that it begins on Nov 27
