Haters gotta hate, I guess, but the continued invoking of Dawkins [you know, that coach who is 13-3 this season] is really mind-boggling.  Pretty much any of Dawkins' teams would have regularly beaten this team, yet nobody ever criticizes Haase with anywhere near the vitriol that was routinely heaped on Dawkins after games in which the level of team play was much better than this team [or, for that matter, last year's team] shows.  Instead, they make snide comments about... Dawkins.

Give it up...

I’ll be the first to agree with you that the attitude towards Dawkins was disappointing.  At times it seemed like people on this and other Stanford sites were hoping that Dawkins would fail so he could get fired sooner.  Even after I became convinced that he was not the right coach for Stanford, I continued to hope I was wrong and that he would turn it around.

That attitude, however, developed over years.  If Haase goes on like this for even another year or two, I think you will see increasing amount of vitriol towards him on this board.  And if he somehow lasts seven years here, you will see as much frustration here as there was about Dawkins.

What frustrates me is that there is as much frustration about Shaw going 9-5 and winding up in the top third of the PAC-12 as there is about Haase, who looks likely to end in the bottom half of the Oac-12 and missing the NCAA tournament, again.
