The indication from the story is that an interim will be appointed similar to Northwestern.

Stanford is hiring new (Republican)lobbyists to try to salvage the hundreds of millions of Federal funding that are at risk.  I don’t think they are going to be spending big money on a football coach in this time of financial crisis.  It would be a terrible look as well as financially imprudent.

Seems like Andrew is leaving that door distinctly open, yes, which is good and necessary negotiating leverage with any replacement candidates (don't put a gun to your own head to make a hire on a deadline). I think it's all dependent on the caliber of pool they can pull together/gain interest from.

As to the financial perspective and climate: football coach salaries have been a bone of contention since time immemorial. Winning solves all known problems.
