I'm blown away that a story about Stanford's coaching search is behind a pay wall on ESPN's website.

Why?  These types of stories (head coaching speculation) generally are.  It has nothing to do with the program’s prominence, just that speculation by a paid columnist will generally be behind a paywall at ESPN, which suits me just fine.  Your money is better spent buying someone like Matt or Sam a coffee.  They will be much better informed and have a much more expansive view, because otherwise the formula is prettt simple: find previous players or assistants at the right level and put their names forward (plus or minus some selective leaking by the agents of guys looking to enhance their visibility).
