I don't give KP a free pass due to the changing landscape of college athletics. For sure, the current state is a big time challenge for Stanford coaches. But in her case, she had the talent the past two years to do well and the table was set for at least a few more years. It was probably a reasonable expectation if we saw a slow decline, perhaps losing a player or two each year a la Van Gytenbeek, Nivar, Betts. Instead, the program cratered in 2 years, due to her inability as a coach and leader.
