I had a real dilemma when completing the survey. The obvious person to recommend to succeed President Hennessey is Coach Shaw. He's displayed the ability to raise funds, work well with the university administration, understands and stays true to the ideals of our university despite the inherent difficulties, mentor a diverse group of students and mold them into loyal Stanford alums, turned down large amounts of money to leave Stanford, etc. But I ultimately decided not to recommend him because I'm sure there are other good candidates for President, but I couldnt come up with any other candidates to be our head coach.
