Since I am a proponent of “never replace your coach until you are absolutely certain you can find someone who can do a better job than the incumbent”, the outstanding question has to be - who is the person who meets that criteria?  

In this era, are there candidates who could do a better job than Shaw AND (most importantly) would want to coach at Stanford (given all the PERCEIVED barriers to success)?  

The world of college athletics is in turmoil and a number of schools are going to have to decide whether to be a serious player or just a player.  Once Stanford makes that decision, I think the answer to the question in paragraph two will become evident.
