I intentionally mentioned that the next coach COULD be worse because that is the risk.  I think it is very important to note that a change might actually drive Stanford to the realm of 10-12th in the Pac. Too many posts only noted the more desirable outcomes.  There are downside possibilities too.

I understand the risk of the change and I still hope Muir tries to find a new path.  Won't be too harsh if attempt #1 falls short, a W. Harris type thing.  And won't regret the choice if Dawkins takes a different program to the final four in 2017, for example.

Great guy.  Great coach.  Wrong Program.

And if Muir can't see that for Dawkins, then maybe it is true for Muir too.  Great guy.  Great administrator.  Wrong Program.

FWIW - The idea that Utah couldn't even beat unranked Oregon says a lot about how far JD's Stanford program is from consistently finishing in the top 25.
