Walt Harris is Out

After a miserable 1-11 season in a brand new stadium, Walt Harris was fired as Stanford's coach. While it's not that surprising to see a guy fired after such a dismal year, it's a little surprising they only gave him two years at the helm. They lost their three best offensive players early in the season and couldn't recover. He probably should have gotten at least another year, but I guess a one win season isn't enough to keep a head coaching position in the Pac-10. Bummer to all the Pac-10 teams that were looking forward to an easy W next year.

Stanford needs a enthusiastic reclaimer, at least until they get their feet under them. Dan McCarney would be good. He sacrificed a potentially good record in order to resuccitate an atrocious ISU program. He's a guy who sort of thrives under limitations (financial at ISU, academics at Stanford?)

Just a thought. Not sure Mike Shula would be a bad coach there either.

NOT Jim Harbaugh!
