I really think he'll be gone if this team doesn't make the NCAAs. That would mean five years, no NCAAs, likely never finishing in the top half of the conference (don't underrate that one), attendance awful...it's a very, very defensible firing. The only question is if Muir has a guy in mind who he thinks he can get to come to Stanford. I would be shocked if he doesn't think he does, so I would be shocked if Dawkins is at Stanford next year.

That said, I'm still rooting for a miracle and this team making the NCAAs.
