Coaches Hot Seat Already In San Francisco For Two Upcoming San Francisco 49ers Games This Week at Candlestick Park and the Start of the NLCS Between the St. Louis Cardinals and the San Francisco Giants! – As for the Stanford – Notre Dame Game and Stanford Football In General…IF….Stanford Had An Offense the Cardinal Would Be 6 – 0 Right Now! – Hell, In Stanford’s Two Losses the Cardinal Defense OUTSCORED the Offense! – BIG GAME Week Has Arrived….In the Middle of October? – Geez, Who Dreamed That Stupid Idea Up? – Oh, We Know Who! – BIG GAME Week with Stanford and Cal Playing in Berkeley on Saturday With the Losing Head Coach Waking Up On the Monday After the BIG GAME on the HOT SEAT! – Let the BIG GAME Festivities Commence! – GO 49ers and Giants!
Many Coaches Hot Seat members are already in San Francisco early on Sunday morning for two great sporting events later on today and tonight:
New York Giants vs. San Francisco 49ers at Candlestick Park
AND
Game One of the National League Championship Series between the…
St. Louis Cardinals vs. San Francisco Giants at AT&T Park
Go 49ers and Giants!
As for the Stanford – Notre Dame game in South Bend on Saturday the Coaches Hot Seat members that were at the game report the obvious that anyone with a working brain can understand:
IF the Stanford Cardinal offense was just AVERAGE Stanford would be 6 – 0 right now.
Give Notre Dame credit for playing a very inspired game but we just don’t believe that Notre Dame is a “great” or even “very good” football team especially since they have beaten…
3 Big Ten Cupcakes in Purdue, Michigan and Michigan State
Navy
Miami
AND now…
A Stanford football team that is GREAT on defense but is so far below average on offense that Stanford football BARELY has an offense right now and when old ladies sitting in the stands can predict the play that is going to be run right before the Cardinal snaps the ball (YES, that was happening at the Stanford – Notre Dame game on Saturday!) then you have a very Damn serious problem on your hands and Stanford head coach David Shaw has a very Damn serious problem on his hands because let’s just face FACTS:
The Stanford Football program is now going BACKWARDS and the Cardinal head coach David Shaw is facing one of the BIGGEST games of his coaching career next Saturday in Berkeley against Cal in the BIG GAME and more on that game in a moment.
In Stanford’s two losses in 2012 against Washington and Notre Dame which we consider to be only average and slightly above average teams respectfully the Stanford offense has gone a combined…
11 – 34 (.324)
…on Third Down Conversions and in both games against Washington and Notre Dame the Stanford defense…
SCORED MORE POINTS THAN THE OFFENSE!
In both the Washington and Notre Dame games the Stanford defense accounted for…
7 of the 13 points scored
…and the Stanford offense scored…
6 points in each game!
Of course, that the Stanford offense could only muster 6 points against both Washington and Stanford isn’t really a surprise since the other team KNOWS FULL WELL the play Stanford is about to run 75 plus percent of the time and Pee Wee teams coached by Dads with full-time jobs can call offensive plays better than that working full-time day jobs and practicing with their teams once a week!
Geez, one really has to wonder what the Stanford offensive coaches led by head coach David Shaw do all week?
Do they sit around the office patting each other on the back for having the most predictable football offense in the United States of America and every so once in awhile take a walk around The Farm to see if anyone actually recognizes them which could be an issue in the coming weeks because either the Stanford offense will start being coached-up better and playing better or the Cardinal is going to lose some more games this season with this slate left..
At California
Washington Tate
At Colorado
Oregon State
At Oregon
At UCLA
…and IF Stanford loses too many of their remaining games there will have to be a meeting to determine exactly what direction the Stanford football program is going and if the determination is that Stanford Football is going back to being AVERAGE or even WORSE then some decisions will have to be made on what to do next.
Up next for Stanford football is California in Berkeley in the BIG GAME which is Idiotically being played in the third week in October which only an…
Overeducated Ivy League Idiot that plays lots of tennis
…would schedule the BIG GAME on such a date (meaning Pac-12 commish Larry Scott) and after beating Washington State on Saturday the Cal Bears are now…
3 – 4
…on the season with LOSSES in Berkeley to Nevada and Arizona State and if the Cardinal LOSES to Cal in the BIG GAME that MWC conference member Nevada and Arizona State which went 6 – 6 last season and has a new head coach in Todd Graham who has the Sun Devils off to a 5 – 1 start (with a big game against Oregon on Thursday night) BEAT then one will have to wonder just how fall the Stanford football program is going to fall under current head coach David Shaw and more importantly just how far Stanford Football will be “allowed to fall” from the Jim Harbaugh days which we can say will be…
NOT VERY FAR!
Let’s see how far Stanford football has already fallen…
Stanford – Washington Games 2009 – 2012
2009 – Stanford WON 34 – 14
2010 – Stanford WON 41 – 0
2011 – Stanford WON 65 – 21
2012 – Stanford LOST 17 – 13
Stanford – Notre Dame Games 2009 – 2012
2009 – Stanford WON 45 – 38
2010 – Stanford WON 37 – 14
2011 – Stanford WON 28 – 14
2012 – Stanford LOST 20 – 13
Hell, the Stanford DEFENSE is getting better while the Stanford OFFENSE is tanking!
If there is one thing we believe in here at Coaches Hot Seat it is trends or in other words which way a person, a company, an institution or anything else is moving in life meaning one is either going forward or falling backwards which happens to be a great identifier of what is going to happen in the future and as of right now at this moment on…

…the Stanford Football program is trending in the WRONG direction and going in the WRONG direction into the BIG GAME against Cal is a Very Bad Damn Thing and if there is one thing we know FOR SURE it is that the losing head coach in the BIG GAME…
Cal’s Jeff Tedford
OR
Stanford’s David Shaw
…will wake-up on Monday, October 22, 2012 to find their rear-end on the HOT SEAT!
We have a lot of ways to rank College Head Coaches here at Coaches Hot Seat with many of those Coaches Rankings being kept private and which help us evaluate head coaches from many different perspectives and after the 2009 season we began a new ranking that ranks College Head Coaches based upon three simple criteria:
Is the College Head Coach a POSITIVE influence on his team?
Is the College Head Coach a NEUTRAL influence on his team?
Is the College Head Coach a NEGATIVE influence on his team?
Right now we have around 15 College Head Coaches that we believe are a…
NEGATIVE
….influence on their team meaning that just their very presence in the office and on the practice field is making things worse for their team.
Right now we have around 40 College Head Coaches that we believe are a…
NEUTRAL
…influence on their team meaning that net-net their influence is neither POSITIVE or NEGATIVE on their team and they could go POSITIVE or NEGATIVE at any time usually based upon them changing something about the way they coach their team.
Right now we have around 70 College Head Coaches that we believe are a…
POSITIVE
…influence on their team and thus those coaches have a big impact upon their team winning on the field each week.
Many Coaches Hot Seat members will be together for most of the afternoon and into the night at the 49ers and Giants games on Sunday and for Damn Sure will be discussing the question of whether Stanford head coach David Shaw as of right now has a…
NEGATIVE – NEUTRAL – POSITIVE
..influence on the Stanford football team but for Damn Sure at this moment after the Cardinal’s offensive performance and what we consider to be below average play-calling and production especially from Stanford QB Josh Nunes who missed some throws against Stanford that an average high school QB could easily hit there is no doubt in our mind that Stanford football is rapidly approaching a…
CROSSROADS
…where Stanford football can either take the path back to mediocrity or the Stanford offense can get off the Damn wagon and off its Damn ass and start pulling just as hard as the Stanford defense is right now.
Saturday, October 20, 2012 – High Noon at Cal’s Memorial Stadium, Berkeley, California
THE BIG GAME
Stanford vs. California
YES, THE BIG GAME is ALWAYS BIG but it especially BIG for the two head coaches Jeff Tedford and David Shaw in 2012 with the LOSER of the BIG GAME heading to the HOT SEAT!
Good Luck to Jeff Tedford and David Shaw this week in the BIG GAME and we hope you work and coach hard as if your jobs were on the line because the TRUTH is…
YOUR JOBS ARE!
With the San Francisco Giants playing the St. Louis Cardinals in the NLCS on both Sunday and Monday and the San Francisco 49ers playing the New York Giants on Sunday and the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night at Candlestick many of us here at Coaches Hot Seat are going to work much of this week in San Francisco and we will be around the City by the Bay to see just what in the Hell is going on at both Stanford and Cal and to attend many of great pre-BIG GAME events!
Yes, this BIG GAME stuff is Very Damn Serious Business!
