Bob.  I respect your knowledge of Stanford sports and have loved your contributions here over the years. You are right he has hit in some hires.  But he came in as a basketball guy and then stayed way too long with Johnny d and then had stayed way too long  with the current coach. Once proud maples is a joke. And he showed no apparent leadership as football went down the tank over the last few years. 

I’m sure the assistant coaches support their leader but would also be shocked if a new guy given an opportunity to shine didn’t have some new approaches that could help, especially on the offensive end.  Those assistants are coaching for their careers as well. Plus at least short term assistants who have likely been closer with the players could get all the oars rowing in the same direction.   Fresh start. 

I don’t think these kids are getting a fair shake as things stand.  Maybe they really are not any good. But if we do nothing we will never know.
