 You think fans decide whether to go the football game because of their perception of the coaches “persona”.  What garbage. Stanford draws when they win and when they play big name schools.  When they don’t, they don’t.  Never really have.  The attendance was so lousy they cut the “Old Lady” in half.  The Bay Area is a lousy college sports area. And college football attendance is dropping damn near everywhere.

I think Harbaugh, for all his foibles and defects, generated two things entirely lacking under this regime:  buzz/newsworthiness/interest, and hope.  And no, it doesn't translate into more butts in seats overnight, but over the medium-longer term, it does.  This guy is going in the wrong direction (and has been for a long time now).  

And Stupac, yes, most everyone makes the occasional game management mistake (some don't, I imagine).  But our guy makes them regularly.  And he thinks he doesn't, which is all the more alarming.
