I don't see an issue with calling Harbs for advice, but I wonder if he'd actually give it and wouldn't count on it. Might depend on who calls him - I'd like to think the best shot is one of his former players. Muir didn't hire him and wasn't around during his tenure. He and Shaw clearly don't get along very well. Don't know what kind of relationship he had with Condi but she might be another option.
I wish Muir would be more transparent with who's advising him and who's on the search committee. While I understand a desire for secrecy, I think it's a missed opportunity to showcase the Stanford family to prospective coaches. The list could be quite impressive
I agree that Muir should be more transparent with the hiring process and include non-Stanford employees as part of the process. Todd Husak Andrew Luck and Doug Baldwin are a few that come to mind. I have no confidence that Muir will get this right especially if his interview committee consists of AD functionaries.
