Ok, to the Fire Shaw crowd. Name your successor.  You think any name coach would come to Stanford?  Hey, Frost may. be available.  Want he supposed to be all that. Or how bout Wilcox? 

Name someone. It’s easy to scream “ fire ——-“. But for whom.

I don't have a particular name, but the individual who takes over from Shaw (whether it is Shaw leaving on his own or being packaged out) needs to be a turnaround personality -- somebody who completely revitalizes the program with a new and motivated staff.  It doesn't have to be somebody as rough around the edges as Harbaugh, but perhaps a highly-motivated Group of 5 coach who sees Stanford as an attractive opportunity to take the next step.  Frankly, it does not need to be a big name coach from a blue-blood program.  Interestingly, Chris Petersen was recently interviewed on this subject and said the same thing: pedigree is less important than intrinsic coaching acumen, motivation for the job and excellent recruiting.  Here is a clip from ESPN where he is talking about what the USC head coaching job requires.  Maybe this is a first interview.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcyQd6uuUaQ
