But I get that even a lighthearted post can take this thread way off-topic...

You say that like it's a bad thing.  And how are we going to punish the coaches that lost Josh Rosen to UCLA?

How can we "lose" something we didn't want?  No offer, if I remember correctly.

We didn't offer Josh Rosen, and I doubt if there has been a more discussed topic in 2015 than why we didn't. The general consensus seems to be that Shaw didn't think Rosen was coachable.

I think there were lots of people who shared that opinion. Rosen didn't do himself any favors in his appearance on the ESPN's Elite 11 hour-long show last summer. Trent Dilfer and the rest of the coaches talked repeatedly about how stubborn and overconfident he was. Before watching that I wondered how the top ranked quarterback in America, someone who called Stanford his dream school, didn't get an offer. Then it all made sense.

What doesn't make sense (to me anyway) is how few other coaches Rosen's attitude seemed to bother. He had offers from UCLA, U$C, N.otre Dame, Michigan, and Texas, among many others. Now, after one spring ball at UCLA, he appears to be the front runner for the starting job. So, if he turns into a star at Bruinland, you will have to wonder a bit if DS made the right decision.
