Lets get Harbs back.  I know it will never happen but we need to do something.

OMG Madness!! Madness!!

The whole point of hiring is you consider the  needs of the program, the strengths of the person, the trends in the game.

Harbaugh was an inspired choice 14ish years ago. He was a turnaround specialist and a program builder, and was able to get a great staff and motivate kids 14 years ago.

Harbaugh is now damaged goods. He is well known now not to be an x’s and o’s guy, and he wears out his welcome. His next job should be someplace with a storied past that needs his fire to fundraise, recruit and motivate. Given his recent string of failures, it may not even be a Power 5 team. maybe like one of the UT’s (Austin) or even Rice because his messianic style may fit Texas.

Stanford doesn’t need a turnaround specialist or a program builder. It definitely makes no sense to hire an old man who peaked 10 years ago. It does need someone with a lot of energy to do what it takes to recruit 2 deep, and a fire in the belly to grab and keep a great staff and who will fire when necessary, and who demands of himself and of his staff to deliver up to these insane salaries. 

Is that still David Shaw? I’m hopeful that it can be.

"Stanford doesn't need a turnaround specialist or a program builder".  And Donald Trump doesn't need to find a hairstylist who uses scissors instead of a paintbrush.
