The dye is cast.
The dog is dead but the fleas don't know it yet.
The horse has left the barn.
Whatever phrase you want to use, the contending period of the Shaw era is over. You can't oversee such a continual slide into incompetence and ever recover. There is no precedent for a college football head coach turning things around when they have gotten this bad.
Stanford is #127 out of 130 FBS teams in rush defense
Stanford is #126 out of 130 FBS teams in rush offense
Stanford is #112 in scoring points
Stanford is #97 in scoring defense
No coach who gets to this point is ever going to be the one who gets back to the top. Honestly, thinking you want Stanford to somehow upset Notre Dame and use it as a springboard to 2022 is part of the problem. If you can't recognize wholesale changes in everything the program does are needed, and there is nothing worth salvaging from the operation that produced this, you won't ever turn things around.
There is foundational rot in the program. You don't put good resources into a new paint job on this and think everything is fine. No, you tear it all down and then start over.
