Well basketball guy or not the Buck stops with Muir and help from his top people in the AD.  I thought Haase was an excellent hire.  I was so wrong and I’d like to think if me I would be on the tarmac when The team comes back
So who would be the assistant who takes over ?? 
Who would be the next hire ?  I’m all for Mad Dog.  Cohen would be interesting
Chris Weems?    Mitch Johnson ? Jarron Collins?  Hiring Fri. The outside hasn’t worked in a while
Allister and Esquer are doing great jobs.
So hiring a Stanford person can work as Shaw did until he didn’t but three Rose Bowls.

Muir should really interview any good candidate regardless of where they went to school.

+1  Limiting yourself to Stanford grads is dumb.  There are no Stanford alums who have a long-term track record of winning right now.  Just a bunch of assistant coaches and guys like Madsen who have done okay but not great over a few seasons.

We should hire someone who has a proven track record of winning as a had coach at some level. We got burned with Dawkins (assistant under a great coach) and Haase (good record over a few seasons at a small school).  We should be looking for someone who has a much better resume than either of those two.  Having "BA, Stanford University" on that resume shouldn't give anyone bonus points.

What's the big advantage of having an alum anyway?  That they won't leave in a few years for greener pastures?  I would much rather end up with a Harbaugh situation where a coach uses us as a stepping stone--we'd still be left with a great recent record making us an attractive destination for coaching and recruiting.
