My bona-fides as a SIX-decade supporter and follower of Stanford Football are well known to most on this site so I won't go into them here. The same folks know my sentiments about Shaw's stunningly failing stewardship of said program. I will say, in response to the piece in The Athletic and the predictable reactions here, simply that the state of the program has me returning to a personal benign neglect of and detached indifference towards the current Shaw Status Quo: the moribund, drab, eroded program over which he now presides. I plan to attend at least one game next fall, for mainly social reasons, and will probably watch some portions of what may be on national television. My only hope is that at some point the powers-that-be at Stanford someday come to their senses and reinvigorate football. In the meantime I truly and dearly miss it, as I did from 2002 through 2006. #MuirAndShawMustGo.
