Of course, Geno will pass her next November as he's only 3 wins shy right now.

Perfectly timed. She goes out on top, and—a la Saban—just before big shifts arrive for both college athletics in general and Stanford's program in particular.

She leaves a distinguished legacy. Her successor at Stanford will start not just a new chapter for this team, but an entirely new volume.
