Let’s assume Shaw is out.  Who replaces him?  It’s not a particularly attractive job. Particularly with no Admin support. They won’t get a rising stat coordinator.  Too high a failure potential.  My guess is they would be looking at an FCS guy.  Worked last time…..

Unless and until they have Admin support, they will fail.  With or without Shaw.

It’s one of the 40 most attractive jobs in college football. At most pessimistic top 65. There are some Power Five coaches who would take it, almost every Group of Five or FCS head coach, and all but the 5-10 hottest coordinators. There’d be plenty of a pool. At Shaw’s salary we could easily get a star. 

Bryan Harsin, Lance Leipold, Chris Klieman, Troy Taylor, Brent Brennan - all likely in our ballpark, but certainly a majority of them would be. Just by way of example.

Let's take the uptick side of this debate on Shaw leaving
SUPPOSE... SUPPOSE, Shaw & Co (the whole staff save Alomar) HAVE ALREADY been told this year is it -- so they are going through the motions like Zombies.  Barely punching the clock while packing up.

Then, 
1) Go get Dave Clawson, ACC Coach of the Year, 2021 at Wake Forest, making just $3.6M at a  nice school (5700 undergrads) with $1.3B in Endowment. 
Stanford's endowment tops $37B.  
2) Consider bringing back Derek Mason (aka our "Duck Whisperer", 2010-2013), now DefCo at OKST earning just $1.1M after being fired from Vandy, the worst perch in the SEC.

3) Wild Card:  Bring in Sir Dr of Defense Vic Fangio, as a "Consulting Wizard" who turned us around in 2010 with the 3-4 and Cover Schemes. 
Just write a check.  He is taking off 2022, after being tossed by the Broncos.  
I don't think he would take the Coaching Job. 
With Derek Mason in the mix, he would ascent to guidance by Eminence Fangio (Mason's mentor)
