This year has been horrible for the conference, and I really doubt that teams like UW and SC will be able to  hire anyone close to a “big name.”

This is also something to keep in mind for those who want to fire Shaw.

Unbelievable.  Shaw has Stanford playing at "all time program worst" level* - in an all-time $hitty Pac 12, no less - and you're admonishing fans to be cautious about wanting to replace him  because other programs are looking to hire "big names."  Heaven help us all.  And we don't need a big name coach anyway.  We need someone who has won at lower levels (i.e., has shown ability to build program and install an O/D and sense of identity). A hire like that will give something the program is sorely missing now: hope.

*  The showing against Cal was ALL TIME LOW for program on many, many metrics, including yards given up/play (a first down, every time Cal snapped the ball) and yard differential/play.  Staggeringly bad.
