Cardinal coach plucked after two seasons

Lots of tough injuries to your skill players, Walt Harris? A 1-11 record? Half empty stadiums? No multi-million dollar bowl bid?
Where do you think you are, someplace like Stanford that has a history of tremendous academic achievement, where athletics are important but take a back seat to scholastic accomplishment?
Ha, you are at Stanford, or I should say were at Stanford as the football coach.
How dare you offend alumni and the multiple layers of administration by failing to get the Cardinal to a bowl game? Other schools have a ton of injuries to their players. Ok, maybe not anyone in the BCS. That's no excuse dammit!...
"This has been a tough year," Athletic Director Bob Bowlsby said. "In some measure this decision was not made as a result of being 1-11 as much as it was a result of not seeing the progress in some of the critical areas we would have hoped for…"Like alumni contributions and bowl game bonus bucks, Bobby? Because no one's complaining about graduation rates, are they? Guess who's butt is on the Gitmo waterboard next season if the next coach does not turn the Cardinal red into lots of green?
That would be you Bobby. That would be you.
