Not even that long ago, Stanford was one of the most respected programs in all of College Football. Multiple BCS Bowl wins and endless NFL talent, such as Andrew Luck and Christian McCaffrey, to one of the WORST programs in all of Power 5 football during the 2023 season. What went wrong, and what does the future entail for Stanford as they join the ACC for the 2024 season? This is the rise and fall of Stanford Cardinal Football. Let me know what you think in the comments.

More issues for Stanford: Shaw would not fire ANYONE. Coaches who proved to be inferior held on to their jobs. Shaw wouldn't change the offense to match his personnel. Shaw refused to recruit more than 3 quarterbacks in 4 years. Shaw refused to give up the offensive play calling.

It starts with the trenches. When harbaugh came in he built that philosophy on both sides. Veteran coaches like Randy hart, Vic fangio built that ferocious front 7 which helped Stanford dominate the more finesse pac-12. Though shaw recruited well especially the O-Line he wasn’t able to sustain it after departures of hart and bloomgren. As somebody who was in Stanford at the right time as a fan seeing them go to 4 pac-12 championships, 3 rose bowls and generally dominating the conference, it’s sad to be able to wake up now in India to see them blasted every weekend. Hope the Troy Taylor experiment pans out

This video hit the nail on the head! Stanford recruited well during the 2010s, but never enough to become national championship contenders, and eventually those academic prestige restrictions took their toll on the recruiting Also I really like Troy Taylor and I noticed the dynamic offense and program he built at Sacramento State, and some really good 4 star recruits have committed to his program. But I hope he doesn't fall into the same trap David Shaw fell into, where recruiting restrictions start holding them back

Yep, completely new era for Stanford. I would love to see them get back to relevance. I got a soft spot for Cal since my dad's an alum, and seeing a top-25 Big Game matchup would be great. Thanks for watching.

It's not just recruiting. Stanford recruited well enough to still be a top 40 team. When they landed a Heisman level player like Luck or McCaffrey, they could be a top 20 or even a top 10 team. Shaw was a good recruiter and a good game coach, but the players never really developed under his assistant coaches, and Shaw kept ineffective assistants on the staff way too long. Then the transfer portal and NIL came along, and Stanford is very limited in how many transfers qualify academically to get in. They were also hesitant to embrace NIL at all.

@StoicBehavioR 22 күн бұрын

Stanford isn't the only team as a _"portal outlier"_ you can lump Notre Dame in that category too. The problem with Stanford was David Shaw road the coattails off of Jim Harbaugh success and Jim's recruiting. On top it in 2011 a Stanford student journalist expose the athletics department with an _"easy course"_ list which was funneling athletes into those courses. Once the administration at Stanford shutdown those courses and focus more on academics while not caring about athletics, it took it's toll, not only in football but across the board. That's what happen to Stanford, you don't see this type of thing happening at a high academic school such as Notre Dame.

@atgdcommish608 8 күн бұрын

Rode the coattails? Shaw won 96 games in 12 years at Stanford, including five 10-win seasons. Harbaugh won 29 games, with 2 winning seasons in 4 years.

Stanford absolutely bullied people. Smash mouth. Smartest players on the field? QBs and offensive linemen. Simple recipe. Some how they developed players on the D side. Shaw was great but the program became like a great house settling into its foundation before crumbling. Insane blue Bay Area and Rona helped. Still recruited though. 6 players taken 2023 into nfl? They’ll be back. New coach is a winner.

This is what Stanford does. Every few decades they put together a great program under coaches like Harbaugh & Shaw (2010s) or Walsh & Green (1990s) and be borderline contenders for a few years before collapsing back to their natural position. Their academic standards make it impossible to compete long term, though the school's now much lower academic standards might allow them to compete again soon. High grades and good test scores are now seen as a symptom of white supremacy in California and those standards are no longer as important.

If they wanna compete, they gotta lower their academic standards a little bit (3.0 and above). And they need to start getting the boosters to fund an NIL collective and not just put all the money in academics.

@VestRSU Ай бұрын

Stanford has an NIL collective. It also has some of the wealthiest alumni of any school and an athletic endowment that's larger than the general endowment at most schools. Money is not an issue. I also don't think academic standards should preclude Stanford from winning per se. Luck and Gerhart have engineering degrees. There are plenty of great athletes that are also great students. The issue is that college football is becoming less and less about "college" and there is an inherent tension between paying a "student" millions of dollars to play football and asking that same "student" to prioritize academics. Stanford is never going to admit a bunch of kids with no intention to go to class or graduate. Those aren't "student athletes," they're employees. This whole current situation is a house of cards that comes crashing down as soon as the courts start ruling that NIL collectives are functionally an employment contract.
