If that comes to pass, combined with such a poor season last year, it’s hard for me to see how the program can continue with the strategy and coaching personnel that have gotten us to this point. I know I won’t continue buying seasons tickets or even spending time watching the team anymore if this continues. It is sad to see the downward drift of the team from what was not too long ago a dominant program.
I kept my season tickets through the years of IdiotFace and HeWhoMustNotBeNamed, which were far far worse than this. 2-4 is probably the best this team will do and that should be enough to make the case for significant coaching changes. Shaw's not going to be fired, but if he isn't willing to make big changes in his staff then his job should be on the line next year.
I'm sure Muir and Shaw are going to offer a slew of COVID-related excuses, but Stanford's challenges were not substantially different from any other Pac-12 program. Some programs, like Colorado, had greater challenges and are performing better.
