You guarantee somebody who has never coached would turn the program around? Deion Sanders had been an awesome FCS coach. Plus there is only one Deion Sanders. The guys you mentioned are nothing on the zeitgeist/swagger/PR meter compared to Prime. 

I don’t think we can meet all your criteria but hopefully we meet several of them. Based on your criteria I think Eddie George would be ideal. He’s not atop my list but he’s on it.

Hi Matt,

1. Thank for your reply (and thanks during Football Season for your Awesome game breakdown analyses)

2. I know TedyBruschi & DrewBrees have coached (at the high school level); SteveYoung I am not sure.

3. But I get your point.

4. I think for a Program like Stanford, having a HeadCoach who is a HouseholdName & who is Charismatic, is ESSENTIAL to getting Recruits,Transfers, NIL Investors. & Great Position Coaches, ....'To Believe & Take A Leap of Faith Chance on a Program that is to put it mildly, ...Struggling & hasn't shown that it is willing to make Fundamental Changes to its 'Football Infrastructure & Environment'

5. Yes, those 3 guys dont have the MONUMENTAL Swagger of Coach DeionSanders, but on this sliding scale they are still Very High, (much higher than TT or WaltHarris. no disrespect to those 2 men)

6. I fear 2 things when I hear some of the chatter here & other places about (a) The hire of a Head Football Coach at Stanford University (b) The lack of willingness to modify our Admissions to be in line with NotreDames

• One, in the NEW LANDSCAPE of 'BIG TIME $$$$$ COLLEGIATE ATHLETICS & FOOTBALL and NIL & TransferPortal ' we are expecting to operate like the 'little engine that Couldn't and expecting to get different results than what "little engines that Couldnt" get ...which as someone said 'is the definition of Insanity'.

• Two, even if we by some Miracle found the 'little coach from the little school, who somehow went under the radar' ...and 'who magically could somehow Attract 4star QBs & 4star OL & 4star DL to 'take a leap of faith to come to Stanford (which is unlikely at Stanford for a 'coach who didn't star in the NFL') ....lets say that 'little coach did turn the program around to get the program to be a perennial 8-4 program....why would this Coach stay at Stanford ??

[In effect without Stanford Changing the Environment & Fundamental Support for Football & Modifying its Admissions to be in line with NotreDames, HeadCoaches who become '8-4 successful' at Stanford, will just leave & move on to a University they consider to have a better Infrastructure, & AdmissionsEnvironment, ...and we will just be in a 'perpetual revolving door of Coaches coming & moving onto greener pastures'....all this in the exceedingly unlikely chance that a "little engine that couldnt" coach from a small school, at a University (Stanford) that can't align its admissions with NotreDame, to compete for what few 'academic 4&5 star football players there are', that isn't even Top20-Top35 in NIL Football actually could ever get to 8-4 in this new NIL Power4 Football Landscape]
