RE: Stanford Football moving on - Hurlburt88 - 11-27-2022

what about an NFL coordinator?  I think about someone like Mike Kafka who also understands academically-oriented institutions.

I liked Matt Squeri’s list better, though a couple of names overlapped.  The Athletic list is heavy on coaches with a Stanford connection (Bloomgren, Mason, Walters, Roman), which has some advantages but I think is also too limiting.

That's right. Bring Scott Frost home. [/sarcasm]

John Gruden is available... choke, caugh, Ralph.

RE: Stanford Football moving on - 81alum - 11-27-2022

No one will accept the job without knowing more  precisely what Stanford is willing to do on NIL and transfers.  My guess is that is why Shaw was discussing it with administration last week.  So we should know a lot more about what the administration is willing to do not only when the new hire is announced, but when the new policies that come with him are announced.

RE: Stanford Football moving on - Phogge - 11-27-2022

Deion would be spectacular. Does he have a degree?

Brennan and Taylor understand the area but have little or no experience recruiting nationally. They could bring in a consultant, someone like a modern George Rush who knew just about every high school coach in the country.

Excellent choice.  Undoubtedly paid big bucks.

Football IMO needs a type A personality who is willing to spend all hours of day and night recruiting.  Need to get back up and running ASAP which will take elite players.

Also need someone who understands Stanford admissions and exactly what is needed to get accepted. This is something Harbaugh didn't know his first year and a bunch of his recruits were rejected by admissions.

Recruiting is among the least of the program's problems. Player development, scheme/play calling, and S&C are bigger deficiencies. New HC needs to clean house

Yes, program needs many things.  New coach must be a multi-tasker.

RE: Stanford Football moving on - Mick - 11-27-2022

I would take whichever one of these three are the best recruiter...

Jesse Minter - Matthew and Nicole Lester Family Football Defensive Coordinator - Staff Directory - University of Michigan Athletics (mgoblue.com)

Matt Weiss - Sanford Robertson Co-Offensive Coordinator/ Robert McCollum Family Quarterbacks - Staff Directory - University of Michigan Athletics (mgoblue.com)

Steve Clinkscale - Co-Defensive Coordinator/Defensive Passing Game Coordinator/Defensive Backs - Staff Directory - University of Michigan Athletics (mgoblue.com)

We need a kick ass strength and conditioning program.  Too many injuries.

RE: Stanford Football moving on - BostonCard - 11-27-2022

Agree, Hambly has shown himself to be a great coach.  Like Shaw, he inherited a ton, and delivered championships with them. Then, when that team was disassembled, he has rebuilt the current team from scratch, and should be a title contender next year.

If Justin Wilcox goes elsewhere, I would strongly recommend Coach Frost as his replacement...

RE: P5 coach on the market with Stanford connections - winflop - 11-27-2022

I don't want a coach with any Stanford connections. We desperately need fresh ideas from outside the bubble

We need a program that can get our guys in better shape to avoid so many injuries.



You are going to get sick of me making this point because I will be persistent.

RE: Stanford Football moving on - OutsiderFan - 11-27-2022

I don't know if I've ever seen a more opposite to what Stanford is all about suggestion for a Head Coach than Deion Sanders.  

And just the suggestion of such a name suggests Stanford would be "big game hunting" for a Head Football coach.  I just don't see the congruity with Stanford and how it is perceived, and having a football program that would be paying top dollar for a proven Head Football Coach.

Before a hire is made, Stanford had to decide what it wants from its football program. Does it want to be a playoff contender?  Does it want football to be a revenue generator? Does Stanford want its football program to raise the profile of the university to Joe Public? Does Stanford want to fill the Stanford Stadium with paying customers? Now that Shaw has been seemingly forced out (I know we can debate the nuances of this, but let's be honest, if Stanford was 8-4 this year Shaw would not have coached his last game for Stanford on November 26, 2022), and does seem ready to embrace the transfer portal, we can assume Stanford does in fact care to some degree about having a legit football program.  

Many people on this board have suggested Stanford might drop football, but I think the Shaw move and the transfer portal embrace shows Stanford is willing to be dragged - after some kicking and screaming - into a much more professionalized college sports reality. This would suggest Stanford is ready to make the investments needed to win, sell tickets, and generate ratings. Maybe there actually is an imperative to be attractive to a Big Ten invite? Now it's just a matter of identifying who that person is that can make it happen.

Where does this focus on a Big 10 invite come from. It is not happening anytime soon and would remove a positive differentiator for Stanford. 5 of the top 16 ranked teams are currently in the PAC-12 and 4 of them will be in the new PAC-10.
