Right now, if I had to guess, my sense is that the program will continue to struggle and in a few years he'll retire.

He's not going to get "a few years" if he doesn't make changes.

I hope you're right. Of course, we all know that Muir is a wet noodle. But, with a few consecutive losing seasons, maybe he'd ask Shaw nicely.

Money talks. When more people stop buying tickets Muir will pay more attention.

1.  How much more leakage do you need to see before Muir realizes there is a problem?

2.  Shaw will 'retire' when, and only when, his last kid is a freshman in college.  That is 4 years away, IIRC.  And I disagree that he will be fired before then, no matter how badly the program continues to spiral down.  Didn't Muir just ink him to what amounts to a lifetime contract?  When will we start seeing public inquiries about that?!?
