Harbaugh did great things for the program and started a 10-year run of success that we have never seen in our history.

1. Because he is an unlikeable person, and it's hard to wish a d-bag well?
2. Because he bailed on Stanford, and if he had stuck around for one more season, then Stanford would have won it's first and only MNC?
Having said that, I don't begrudge Harbs for bolting to the 'Niners. And I appreciate that he single-handedly resurrected Stanford football from the grave (we're going to need another miracle-worker soon, I'm afraid).
But I don't have to like the guy for doing so; let alone eternally wish him well.
Yeah, if you are going to begrudge JH for bolting to SF, you have to begrudge all the other Stanford coaches who have bolted to perceived better jobs when they have had some success (which is just about all of them except Shaw).
One of the reasons I have always been favorably inclined towards Shaw is that he chose to stick around. Now, an unfortunate message is being sent to future Stanford coaches. When you are successful there you had better leave because success is fleeting.
