MBB is the weakest department at STANFORD, athletic or academic.  Given Muir's background, Etchemendy and Hennessy must have hired him to fix MBB.  The only plausible explanation for keeping Dawkins is that there isn't money to fire him.  Or they can't identify the ideal replacement yet.  Maybe they are thinking the former alumnus David Shaw formula.  Nick Robinson is a logical candidate, but he hasn't proven himself at Southern Utah yet.

Here's a crazy idea: let Mad Dog take the reins without paying him a head coach's salary and sideline Dawkins for a couple seasons.  Madsen certainly can't do much worse, and my guess is that he saved much of his NBA money.
