Muir is a basketball man. Perhaps he can help in administrative matters but help in football? No.

I think Shaw has become a comfortable and complacent coach in his middle age. Time to try something else in life to get the juices flowing again.

Muir gave Shaw what amounts to a lifetime contract last season.  You would feel "complacent" if you were getting millions of dollars a year for a job that you do really poorly in when it matters most.  A poster on TOS speculated that the announcement was supposed to come after a win . . . but Stanford didn't get one after the ink dried.  And we haven't had one yet this season.

May be a while before the outlines of that contract - which strikes me as preposterous if anything beyond a minimal year(s) extension for recruiting purposes.  But it sounds like it was (and is) A LOT worse than that.

The heat needs to be turned up on Shaw AND Muir.
