David Shaw Interview - Hank 91 - 08-18-2021
I spent some time talking to David Shaw at Media Day last month, but a family vacation delayed this post. We talked about a lot of interesting things -- Big Game, the UCLA comeback, recruiting, the quarterback competition, the schedule and his theories on scheduling, and a few other things. Take a peek if you're interested.

Good stuff Hank. I really appreciate how you ask questions that get substantive answers without turning things into trying to get a gotcha or the sort of inane questions you see like "You just won a big game; walk me through what was going on in your mind"
Sounds like we will have a QB announcement no later than the 30th.

Really great interview!

Thanks, Hank!

BC, after shooting thousands of interviews what bugs me the most are the reporters who answer their own questions in their questions. Locally a guy named Kreuger (SI guy) is the biggest offender.
Nice job Hank!

Ralph Barbieri, RIP, the absolute worst on that front.

Ah T we finally agree. He was terrible Ask the question and without hesitation he would answer his own question

His thoughts about the 8-game vs 9-game conference schedule were really interesting—and somewhat surprising, from where I sit.

I think he has been consistent with that. What did you find somewhat surprising?
RE: David Shaw Interview - BostonCard - 08-19-2021
Yeah, as I read it, his attitude is that the ACC and SEC should be more manly conferences and schedule 9 conference games, because the fact that the Big Ten and Pac-12 do and they don't definitely disadvantages us.

There are probably a few other areas/topics we agree on; and who knows, maybe we'll stumble across them this fall season . . .

Didn't Von Appen once say something to the effect that, "We are on the same team but that doesn't mean that I trust you."

Useless fact: Fred Von Appen lived a block away from me when he coached the Niners. His son did a metal etching of "The Catch" in an art class we took together in the 80s. He got me Roger Craig's autograph when he was a ball boy up at Rocklin, and was mocked by classmates for being a fan of the band Asia - HAHA.

I worked with a woman mid 80s who worked in the football office with Fred in early 80d at Arkansas. She went home from Christmas brought me back a pig Hat.
Worked briefly with Roger Craig.
Just trying to keep up :)

I worked Huey Lewis' first ever-large-scale concert backstage with Vince "Jitterbug" White. And I coached Brent Jones' wife Dana in flag football in college. And I had two Stanford football players (defensive backs) as summer marketing interns.
Also trying to keep up...

I went to lunch w my Dad a couple of his friends and Von Appen just prior to the 1-11 season. He was, I believe DC. One of us asked how the defense looked. He said “we’re small. But we make up for it by being slow.” We laughed. He wasn’t kidding.
