Next year they don’t play UA and Colorado again, bottom feeders with Stanford and Cal. So that’s two losses almost guaranteed to Utah and ASU, teams with far better athletes. At Oregon, UCLA, Domers, three teams with far better athletes. That’s five probable defeats right there.

I gave up on tickets after 65 years of attending albeit with decades of comps and seven years of making films for the AD. I will give up watching them on TV if they play another season of boring football in 2022. Cactus Jack usually lost but the team was never boring. Chuck Taylor’s teams (except for UCLA scoring 72 in ‘54) gave value for the buck. Stanford 2021 is sleep inducing. MSU/Michigan was electrifying and I didn’t have to spend a dime watching it.

as a couple of long-time Stanford football supporters points out, Shaw delivers "joyless football" even with wins.  as primary playcaller, Shaw delivers under 300 yards total offense 1 of 4 games despite having top 25 offensive talent advantages (or at least according to the recruiting services).  

top 10 paid head coach
top 25 talent (per recruiting services)
3 successive teams ranked in the mid-60s (per Sagarin)
an offense now ranked #107 in total offense (great playcaller)
and an overall program decline (see previous figures below)

change is needed

"2011-2014: 77.6%
2012-2015: 77.9%
2013-2016: 75.7%
2014-2017: 72.1%
2015-2018: 74.0%
2016-2019: 60.9%
2017-2020: 58.4%
2018-2021: 51.7%
