I was wondering this myself. Clay Helton lasted two days, but he doesn't carry the shortest time between a loss to Stanford and a firing by himself:
Clay Helton, 2 days: loss to Stanford Sep 11 2021, fired Sep 13 2021
Steve Sarkisian, 23 days: loss to Stanford Sep 19 2015, fired Oct 12 2015
George O'Leary, 43 days: loss to Stanford Sep 12 2015, fired/resigned Oct 25 2015
Sonny Dykes, 50 days: loss to Stanford Nov 19 2016, fired Jan 8 2017 (via twitter!)
Jeff Tedford, 31 days: Oct 20, 2012 loss to Stanford, fired Nov 20 2012
Charlie Weis, 2 days: loss to Stanford Nov 28 2009, fired Nov 30 2009
Tyrone Willingham, 30 days: loss to Stanford Sep 27 2008, fired Oct 27 2008
Bob Davie, 8 days loss to Stanford Nov 24 2001, fired Dec 2 2001
Tom Holmoe, -13 days: loss to Stanford Nov 17 2001, resigned Nov 4 2001 (ok, maybe this isn't fair)
I guess I just got the impression that we caused opposing HC's to get fired, so perhaps it's just Helton, Weis, Davie, and Dykes, considering that none of them coached another game after the Stanford loss for their teams.
