David Shaw's time came, went and now it's gone, man, GONE. It is shrinking in the rear-view mirror. How much more unwatchable, exasperating, embarrassment can some of you guys absorb, for cryin' out loud?!
How far into the TANK must the program sink before you see the buck-naked emperor? How much longer are you going to listen to post-mortems about inadequacy of fricking EXECUTION? Hint: there will be no "execution" if you cannot (or WILL NOT) recruit enough studs athletically capable of it. And you sure as shiddt never will if you continue trying to force-fit players and staff competitively challenged at the FBS level.
Times change. Stanford Football, where the status quo has now calcified into a religious issue, has not. The now years-long record screams with evidence -- numerical, visual and "aromatic". Andy Grove said that only the paranoid survive. You detect any paranoia inside the hallowed halls of Arrillaga? All I see and hear is smug complacency. And, boy, is it on full display.
Great. Pick your next coach. Be specific. And by all means tell us why we should expect success when there is essentially no fan base, the Admin doesn’t seem to care, the student body doesn’t care etc.
You think there are people lining up for the job? Choices would be a so called up and comer. Like Scott Frost was. But apparently he shot his wad prior to Nebraska. Or Wilcox. Who looked promising for a couple years.
Maybe Brennan. Course it’s a big difference coaching at a lower level. Some make the leap. Others bomb out. Your guess is as good as mine.
Or you can get some coordinator from somewhere. In which one of two things happens, he has success for a couple years and then bolts for greener pastures; or he bombs out.
You’ve wanted a new HC for years. Fine. Name him.
