JD is NOT a lousy coach.  But he's not a good coach either.  He's a mediocre coach.

Unfortunately Stanford is a place that has next to zero tolerance for mediocrity.  An ever-decreasing number of members of our community have continued to believe that he can still be a good coach and have continued to hold out hope for a better season next year.    I wonder how many fewer will continue to hold this belief if Dawkins stays.

This team will NOT be good next year - the horses are not there.  There is nobody on the roster who can fill the shoes of Heustis & Powell.  Verhoeven, Allen, Rimmer, and Bullock are not the answer.  And please don't mention the incoming frosh.  It's been a LONG time since a brand new freshman had a material impact on a Stanford team.

This is a great opportunity for Muir to bring a new coach who can work on developing young talent and installing a new system with low fan expectations but increased optimism for the future.  I'd be willing to buy some tickets to see that, but I have ZERO interest in going to see another year of Dawkins.
