My concern is that the opposite happens:  Dawkins does get us to the NCAAs, stays on, and after the uber-class leaves the team reverts to mediocrity for another 3-4 years until Muir fires him.  I have little hope that Dawkins can re-fill the cupboard in next year's recruiting season given the ultimatum Muir has given him.

I think Muir is going to lose at least 500 season ticket seats, and possibly 1,000.  That adds up to a bigger cost than buying out Dawkins' contract.  Just not sure yet if he's going to lose mine.

This is my concern too. Given that Muir has already sent the message that his sole requirement is the NCAA and competing for the championship, it's clear he has a low bar and will accept the drop in production the following year. After all, Stanford won't have the talent when the senior graduate, will it?

It's pretty clear that we need to address our complaints to Etchemendy.
