Walsh to Reveal Future Plans Next Week

Stanford will hold a news conference Monday or Tuesday, announcing whether Bill Walsh will remain as football coach or leave.

Rumors and press accounts have swirled in the Bay Area this week, some friends of Walsh having said he’ll resign. Some of his players have met with Stanford Athletic Director Ted Leland.

In Walsh’s first year back at Stanford in 1992, the Cardinal was 10-3, but he has had two losing seasons since, this year’s team having gone 3-7-1.

According to one rumor, Walsh will resign if his offensive coordinator, Terry Shea, is named to replace him.
