Yes, I think many saw it coming. For years my tailgate buddies and I wondered and worried about Shaw's shortcomings, which have been dissected on this site for years now. While we saw some of his positives, the consensus was that when his program would eventually begin a steady descent, it could be years until the University would properly address the matter.
That's what we saw coming: that by the time he left or was fired, the program would be in tatters, having been left to regress longer than it would have at other universities. B/c he had such relative success to start his career, b/c he's a native son who "gets Stanford," and b/c Stanford admin would turn a blind eye.
