In college football, coaches get fired pretty frequently. Sometimes for misconduct, but mostly, they get the boot after a string of bad seasons.
David Shaw and Stanford are having a bad season. They’ve continuously worsened the past couple of seasons. Some think the solution to Stanford’s woes is to fire Shaw. But there is absolutely no chance Shaw will be fired. Stanford could lose the rest of their games (which given how many injuries Stanford has seems like a possibility), and Shaw would still have his job come next season.
Yes, I realize I’m the guy who imagined David Shaw and Jim Harbaugh switching schools for 2020, but there’s a world of difference between what I want to happen and what actually will happen.
