I am trying hard to remind myself that no Stanford coach should be fired after the COVID-19 challenges this year.

HOWEVER - This end of season story is all too familiar with or without COVID.

Team wasn't really going to get into the tournament in 2019-2020, and may need to be the AQ to get into the tournament here in 2020-2021.   The next year should be better if (insert promising variable here) is getting old.

Haase was an important hire to get Stanford from the cellar to mid-Pac, but not sure he is the one capable of taking Stanford from mid-Pac to the top 2 or 3 of the Pac.

Stanford wasn't in the cellar when Dawkins was fired. They were 15-15 overall and 8-10 in conference in his last year. In fact, their conference record was within one game of .500 in each his last five seasons.

Haase hasn't taken this program anywhere. His record isn't materially better by any measure. That's why he shouldn't have a job any more, but the AD's never gonna pull the rip cord this year.

Next year is tourney or bust. I don't care how young or inexperienced the roster is. I don't care how bad the injuries are next year. No excuses - bid or bye-bye.
