Walt Harris' fate at Stanford probably was sealed on Sept. 17, 2005 when Bob Biggs' UC Davis Aggies went into the old Stanford Stadium and stunned the Cardinal 20-17. So when Harris was fired today after compiling a 6-17 record over two years, it's probably not surprising that Aggie fans and others thought of Biggs as Harris' potential replacement on The Farm. My sense is this is probably just talk.
Biggs said in an interview last Wednesday that he planned to see the Division I transition through at UCD, which meant leading the program into its first playoff-eligible season. He was, therefore, planning to return. And as I scribbled down his comments, he repeated the statement. When he said that, of course, the Stanford job was not open. So we'll if that changes. Biggs is happy at Davis, but has always said he would listen to other job offers if they came along. He added that after a 6-5 season, he didn't really expect his phone to ring. One name that has appeared in multiple web reports is Jim Harbaugh, the brash young coach at San Diego. We'll see where it all goes.
