Actually, he was fired because the academic performance of the team had fallen to a dangerously low level. In essence, he lost control of the team through very poor recruiting decisions. Of course, this loss of control also had a decidedly negative impact on the on-field performance both offensively and defensively.

It would be interesting to see if Tedford would want a consultancy to come in and take a look at what Stanford does on offense and how it could be improved. Good for him, because there is no pressure, and can be done at his own speed. Good for the program to get a new pair of eyes that has some skills and has coached in the PAC-12. I don't know how well he and Shaw got along, but if Shaw can like Chip Kelly, anything is possible. The results may lead nowhere, but they also may help. Worth looking into.
