I’m sorry, but I think there is a fair amount of delusion on this board.  The talent level is low.  It will continue to be unless and until Stanford changes its approach to NIL and the portal.  You aren’t going to get top talent without shelling out big bucks for it.  You think, for example, Elway or McCaffrey would have gone to Stanford under today’s situation? And if so, stayed?   Luck, maybe.  But he’s a unicorn. 

They are not going to get enough good players to compete unless they increase NIL and loosen up transfer rules to take full advantage of the portal.

Fire TT and hire who?  I mean it’s not quite like the Chicago White Sox job.  But close.

The program is on life support.  I don’t think the Admin gives a damn.  Therein lies the biggest problem.  Not the HC.

Note that only 2 of the 10 teams that moved on from the PAC-12 have winning conference records. Stanford is not the only team having problems in their new conference. Other teams have regressed more. The second year will be a better measuring stick for all of these teams.
