Are Stanford fans really entertaining the idea that losing a S&C coach is somehow the missing ingredient that has led to their dissatisfaction with the Football program? 

YOU CANNOT BE SEROUS!!!!

It is one of several missing ingredients.

I've yet to see a talented Head Coach be de-railed by inability to replace assistant coaches successfully.

A major contention on this board is that Shaw has let the quality of his assistants erode since taking over Harbaugh's staff in 2011 and that this is the fundamental reason we are seeing a steady decline in performance.  Turley would be just one case.  So if the program under Shaw is slowly being derailed, then your assertion above would mean that Shaw is not a very talented head coach.  Further, a talented head coach with mediocre assistants and players can only accomplish so much.
