Shaw, just like everyone else holding a job, needs to be held accountable to do the best job he can with the resources he has.  There's debate over whether there is great fault to be found in Stanford's offense.  There is no debate whether there are small, easily fixable faults in the Stanford offense.  It's pretty reasonable to say that there are many reasons for which Shaw needs to be held accountable.

I think Shaw wants to coach the way he wants to coach regardless of his players' capabilities or his team's strengths.  I do think he is putting his own ego ahead of the possibility of this Stanford team being undefeated by retaining his chosen QB and running the kind of offensive plays that he wants to be run.  Nothing short of firing him would emasculate him more than having to replace Nunes--a clear admission of fundamental failure in his evaluation of the players.  No system or philosophy will thrive if the team's profile fails to fit the necessary strengths required to execute that system.

I fear that Shaw will stick with Nunes and sink the ship doing so.  Struggling against WSU is never a good sign.
